E Elegant Object You Own
China tea-pot that my mother brought me from England. It's white with a cluster of violets on it. Since then a dear friend gave me a coordinating-but-not-matching tea-cup and saucer to go with it, and then later my mother gave me yet a different coordinating-but-not-matching cup-and-saucer. I love my eclectic tea set!
F Flowers
violets, pansies, roses, daisies
G Guests for Tea

We keep a free-standing hanging-clothes rack in the laundry room. Clothes can be put on hangers and then on the rack right out of the dryer. If they never get put into the cloest, that's okay. We know where to find them!

Peppermint with honey.
