Pre-mug Mystery


The mystery and the magic with teacups is that even when served with cookies or fine sandwiches with white bread or even cakes with piles of frosting, the repast is nourishing and calorie free.

The mystery and the magic of serving tea in teacups, or even cocoa or milk, is that little tomboy girls who just came in from a romp in the hay bales, looking for newborn kittens, are tamed to the point that they might be mistaken for ladies.

Gifts for Christmas and birthdays and special special days–a tradition long forgotten–mother of pearl, flower crested, ones with too tight handles fill the china cabinet and remind me of the pre-mug days of mystery and magic.
