Each preparation of the leaves has its individuality,
its special affinity with water and heat,
its hereditary memories to recall,
its own method of telling a story.
The truly beautiful must be always in it.

Picture taken at the TeaFestPDX this past Saturday.
We served Harney & Sons Chai Rooibos and Earl Grey Supreme,
plus handed out Paris tea in the British Tea Tent.
More pictures coming this week.

White is so classic. Lovely composition.
What a lovely picture, Marilyn. And Nel has that same tray. I bought it for her a few years ago. Looking forward to seeing the "tea fest" pictures.
Have a happy week.

How beautiful! Look forward to seeing more from the British Tea Tent Marilyn.
I've been so busy with a second cousin - a long-forgotten relative on my mother's side. She "found" me (via Ancestry and some of my family doing the genetic testing thingy) and we spent all last week catching up online, and on the phone (she's in Northern Calif.). I now have beautiful family photos I'd never seen, and have learned so much more about my mother's family, her father and his Canadian roots etc. I have assisted her with names, dates etc. of the British side for the family tree she's working on. We hope to meet in person one of these days!
Life goes on and continues so busy - or am just slowing down?
Love and hugs to you and J - Mary x
Lovely....
I like the quote and the last line is very true. The white teapots on a white tray is an inspired choice. The wooden heart labels are charming. Looking forward to seeing the Tea Festival photos.
I love the sweet heart markers to indicate the type of tea in the pot. I'll be remembering that little trick one day!
I'm so sorry I had to miss Tea Fest again this year. I love the sweet labels on the teapots.
