Description
“One lump or two?” he asked, the way he had every Sunday for thirty years, and she gave the answer she always gave: “Just one, but make it a heart.” It was a silly old joke between them, born in a tearoom on the Rue de Rivoli where the waiter had once dropped a sugar cube shaped like a heart onto her saucer and winked. She kept that cube, wrapped in a napkin, until it crumbled to nothing in her coat pocket.
This box turns that kind of private joke into a gift. The little cup spells out LOVE, a dainty spoon rests alongside, and the heart-shaped sugar cube is the final touch that makes everyone smile. Tuck an engagement ring inside for a proposal over breakfast, leave it on a tea tray on the fourteenth of February, or give it to the tea lover who takes her afternoon cup as seriously as any vow. The soft colours suit a breakfast tray as well as a jewelry dish.
