A thoughtful gift given with love ........

in #gems3 years ago (edited)

......... from my lovely daughter-in-law. She gave the present to me a few days after my birthday during a family Easter celebration. I felt the love when I saw the words 'Love Potion' on a most creative black bottle of tea leaves. My very considerate thoughtful daughter-in-law knows I like to drink tea leaves. This made receiving the gift even more special.

At the moment I am just enjoying looking at the bottle unopened. I know it sounds strange, but I am really wanting to savour the gift for a short time. It is sitting on the side table in my little writing room.

Shortly, when I finish the opened packet of Twinnings Earl Grey tea leave I plan to open The Tea Collective LOVE POTION. I am looking forward to sipping on the tea; the label on the bottle describes the tea leaves as a blend of Sri Lankan Kenilworth Orange Pekoe, Rose Petals, Vanilla, Early Grey & Natural Vanilla.

I think that my first cup of tea needs to be served in one of my pretty feminine tea cups and saucers to mark the occasion while I savour the love.

As the great poet Rumi wrote .........

love comes to you of its own accord
And the yearning of it cannot be learned in any school.


Cheers to everyone and signing off now.
