Five Little LadybugsFive little ladybugs climbing up a door
One flew away then there were four
Four little ladybugs sitting on a tree
One flew away then there were three
Three Little Ladybugs landed on a shoe
One flew away and then there were two
Two little ladybugs looking for some fun
One flew away and then there was one
One little ladybug sitting in the sun
She flew away and then there were none
May your journey bring you everlasting love and joy.

Cream Fans and Flowers on Deep Red
The fabric we chose is an Asian print that includes flowering branches and flowers on the fans. These flowers appear to be stylized plum blossoms due to the branch form and 5 petals shown on most blossoms. 5 petal flowers are indicative of good luck in China. The flowering plum, in particular, has been a powerful Chinese symbol for over a millennium. Its ability to blossom amid ice and snow has made it a symbol of new beginnings, virtue, and fortitude. May your life share all of these qualities.Aaron and Tamara DeLonay

Confucius taught the belief in being benevolent (ren) or kind-heartedness.When asked what "ren" actually meant, Confucius said:
"When you go out, you should behave as if you were in the presence of a distinguished guest. When people do favors for you, act as if a great sacrifice was made for you. Whatever you wouldn't like done to you, do not do that thing to others. Don't complain at work, nor at home."

CHINESE FU PAPER CUTSWindow Flowers
(Beautiful Bird Paper Cut Included)
A traditional country folk art, paper cuts are normally created by women and girls. Made by hand, paper cuts are used as decorations for doors, windows, walls, mirrors and are given as presents.
Fu is one of the most popular Chinese characters used in Chinese New Year. It is often posted upside down on the front door. The upside down fu means 'good luck came' since the character for upside down in Chinese sounds the same as the character for came.
We wish you good luck!

Blue Toile - Tea Time
Our prayer is for many mornings and afternoons of taking tea and savories. May they, at times, be spent in solitary communion with the Lord, and other times be opportunities to pursue love and fellowship, practice hospitality, show courtesy and serve others.The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.
- Psalm 145:18
Breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts.
- Acts 2:46
Let love be genuine....Outdo one another in showing honor....show hospitality.
-Romans 12:9-13
Keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins. Show hospitality to one another without grumbling. As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace.
-1 Peter 4:8-10

Must Have Accessories on Blocks
This is five characters (shown on card) from a longer ten-character phrase composed by Zhuge Liang about 1800 years ago. The phrase means "your inner peace/tranquility/serenity will help you see or reach far (into the world)." The last word means "far", but the deeper meaning is that you will surpass what you can currently see or understand.Philip Cohen
