what’s in your tea?

My sister and her mister went to France last month and they brought me back tea. Pictured at left, Mariage Frères Earl Grey French Blue. And, look! Blue flowers! In my tea! Opening the little canister was both a visual and olfactory delight! Blue flowers in my tea! I brewed myself a little pot this morning and boy-howdy, it brightened up a damp Sunday morning.
Outside my window it smells like rotting leaves. I wish I could get more excited about Fall. Turning leaves and falling apples, &c.
This week, I return to the sewing machine. I had fabric dreams last night (do you dream of craft supplies?) and I am good & ready for the soothing hum of my machine. I’m ashamed to admit it but one of the reasons why I haven’t sewn much lately is that I’ve been out of thread (who runs out of thread? Why, I do!). I can’t bring myself to pay retail prices for thread so I’ve been rabidly bidding on lots of thread on eBay and the online auction gods finally smiled upon me: a hefty bag of vintage thread landed upon my doorstep on Friday. I think I clucked with glee.
To-day, blue flowers in my tea!
I dream about knitting. Other times i can’t sleep because i know i am going to do some major craft shopping. Earl Grey is my favorite too!

You too? I often dream with yarn and lace patterns…

Well I might not have craft dreams but I have had Mariage Freres tea before! It’s so beautiful and fragrant ain’t it? LOVE that stuff.

You are lucky. That tea is outstanding and so purty, too!
