More and more, tea time is becoming a time to ponder, journal, and study for me. The impressionist movement has always been a passion. While I claim minimal intellectual understanding, the romantic, peaceful, and comforting scenes take me to a time when I presume, by choice, that life was more simple, more relaxing, kinder, and certainly more creative.
With no intrusion of ringing phones or televisions, the sounds of life can permeate the deepest thought. I was very happy that The Daily Connoisseur, Jennifer L. Scott, chose Mary for our June Chic Assignment.
Changing my pace of life, which includes hand needlework, has given me an opportunity to grow in skill, even though I seem to remove as much as I keep! I am the queen of the stitch ripper!

| It seems that I polish the silver more than I use it! This was not the pot of the day but it was clean so I thought I would share. This pot came from the UK. I have always liked the lines on this one. Itty-bitty little feet hold it up. |

So, Tuesday Tea is about Mary Cassaat. She led an interesting life. Such talent at a time when female artists had to work very hard to be recognized. Her own family never appreciated her work. She loved children and the mother/child relationship.
