Tea and Other Ramblings

A little while ago I mentioned going to Disney World and getting a tea set at one of the shops in the Japanese Section. Well, this is one that I found in the Magic Kingdom. Appropriately. This is the only Tea-for-One set that I have. For a single, it holds quite a bit of tea. This beautiful set is an homage to the Disney princesses, but mainly to Cinderella, I think. ( After looking at the coach, the shoes, the dress, the pumpkin!)
However, I like to think that all the princesses are represented here . The different colors are for the dresses that they wore; blue for Cinderella, as well as one of the colors of the dress Sleeping Beauty wore as she danced with her prince. Pink is the other color of Sleeping Beauty's dress and also the gown that Ariel wore in the palace. Yellow is the color of the dress that Belle wore as she danced with the Beast. And above all, together the colors represent the dress worn by Snow White throughout her story. Each of these lovely young ladies faced huge obstacles or dangers in their quest for their happily-ever-afters before they reached them.
Now, I'm not sure that all my observations are what the designers had in mind for this piece, but that's my take on it.
So if your day throws stumbling blocks in your way and things are not turning out as you had hoped, this is a good set to use and take a moment and relax with your good cup of tea.

And remember: if these girls can get through their problems, so can we!
