The Mended Teapot

🌸 Good morning from Petal Pines…

Today, golden light filters through lavender fields as the Grove prepares for the festival. But not everything has gone as planned.

A joyful rush.
A fragile teapot.
A sudden crash — and then silence.

“Oh no… this was Mother Charm’s teapot.”

Rosie’s hands shook. Millie’s eyes filled with tears. And for a moment, even the petals stopped swaying. But then came the quiet strength of friendship — and the choice to repair what was broken, not with shame, but with love.

“We can mend this, you know,” Eucalyn said gently.
“It won’t be the same… but different doesn’t mean less beautiful.”
“Mother Charm always said broken things held stories worth telling.”

Together, they gathered the pieces.
They used golden resin from the Mystic Woodlands to seal each crack — not to hide the breaks, but to honor them.

Now the teapot glows softly under the vines, golden seams catching the morning light.
