Hi Candi, you are just a beautiful person!! I love the Tea Cup Poem. I ordered one and I hope I can print it off from email onto my printer. I don’t have a kindle so I am praying I can print it. Do you mail a copy if I can’t get it printed? I will be happy to pay for postage. I think your web site is just grand!! I can’t wait to have time to sit down and enjoy some of the things on it. I am 69 so I am afraid I am not very savvy with computers so that is why I asked about how I could get it if I can’t get it printed out.Thank you for this wonderful web site. I collect tea sets and I just love a good cup of tea!! Sincerely, Joy Harris.

Hi Joy. I’m also 69. I grew up drinking tea and I collect tea pots. I’m also a bit intimidated by technology. I hope that you enjoy the tea culture as much as I do.
