"tea for two" or maybe even three or four

"Love one another with brotherly affection. Out do one another in showing honor."

Romans 12:10

Description: These coffee or tea themed cards would make lovely invitations to either a party or a meeting with a close friend in a local coffee shop/java house. My daughter made this sample set with just a few supplies and acid free adhesive.

Supplies:

• a variety of buttons and lace
• decorative papers with tea cups
• text labels
• solid colored blue, green and brown papers (the brown paper could be heavy grocery sack papers)
  

Promise someone special to share a warm and friendly pot of tea.

Colorful collage printed paper was combined with printed forest green and brown paper bag papers
 to craft these handmade cards.

All three tea cards shown together.

Quotes:

•  “In Ireland, you go to someone's house, and she asks you if you want a cup of tea. You say no, thank you, you're really just fine. She asks if you're sure. You say of course you're sure, really, you don't need a thing. Except they pronounce it ting. You don't need a ting. Well, she says then, I was going to get myself some anyway, so it would be no trouble. Ah, you say, well, if you were going to get yourself some, I wouldn't mind a spot of tea, at that, so long as it's no trouble and I can give you a hand in the kitchen. Then you go through the whole thing all over again until you both end up in the kitchen drinking tea and chatting.  In America, someone asks you if you want a cup of tea, you say no, and then you don't get any "*!" tea. I liked the Irish way better.”― C.E. Murphy, Urban Shaman 
• “As far as her mom was concerned, tea fixed everything. Have a cold? Have some tea. Broken bones? There's a tea for that too. Somewhere in her mother's pantry, Laurel suspected, was a box of tea that said, 'In case of Armageddon, steep three to five minutes'.”― Aprilynne Pike, Illusions 
• “You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me.”― C.S. Lewis

Details like hand stitching, buttons, lace and torn paper embellish these tea cards by Natalie.

Additional Scriptures:

• Luke 6:31 And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them.
• Proverbs 19:20 Listen to advice and accept instruction, that you may gain wisdom in the future.

Poetry:

Tea

 When the elephant's-ear in the park
 Shrivelled in frost,
 And the leaves on the paths
 Ran like rats,
 Your lamp-light fell
 On shining pillows,
 Of sea-shades and sky-shades
 Like umbrellas in Java.
