PEEK INTO MY BOX OF TREASURES

PEEK INTO MY BOX OF TREASURES
"Once upon a time, in land far, far away... 
there was a young girl, a dream and a story to tell.

Eucalyptus and coffee with hints of perfume...
Italian chatter in the background, and smoke filled air...
Nothing is as it was... everything, inside a memory.

There were jewels, and ballet, and a giant cuckoo clock, and music in every room.
Her love for tea began the moment she saw those teacups,  and her dreams in color when she tried on that ring. 
With diamonds, and rubies and semiprecious stones, cabochon topaz and pearls...
It was a box full of treasures, and a world to explore.

What's that?  What's this?  What's it for?
So many questions and so much to learn. And the best way was, by example.

So she danced her way through life learning about all these beautiful things... 
How to set the table, how a diamond is cut, how to sew a button and how to wind a clock... 
Because they loved what they did, now that love lives in her...
It truly was a gift!!"
