Christmas Tea Treats
As I did last Christmas, I ordered up some adorable tea treats from The Cordial Cherry. This year they offered up Christmas Tea & Cakes chocolate truffles. Of course, the little teapot called my name. I’m always impressed with the small details and how lovely they area. Not to mention how tasty their chocolate is!…

Christmas Cups
Just three short days after our Thanksgiving holiday, the Christmas season is in full swing. I love this time of year for many reasons, but it’s also wonderful to visit my old friends in the tea cabinet. This beauty was a gift from my niece. It’s a Pfaltzgraff teacup and saucer from the Winterberry collection…

A New Addition

Some Leftovers
I may not post weekly, or even monthly on this blog, but I DO drink tea on a daily basis. Where I lack energy is providing my readers with overly eloquent words and elaborate photo shoots. I do the best with what I have and the amount of energy I have within a given week.…

Daisies and Biscuits
We’re having typical July weather, even for Maine in the northeastern United States. Hot, hazy and humid. I still try to enjoy my hot tea outside, but usually only in the morning before the sun heats up the deck. My roses bushes are between blooms right now, but the lovely, white daisies are in full…
