Tea Time

With the wind whipping and the snow falling (I know, I can’t see it, but it’s all we hear about from you that do), it’s the perfect time to pour a cup of tea and take a breather.

It’s tea time; anytime.

Earl Grey Tea Madeleines with Honey

There is actually ‘Afternoon Tea’ and ‘High Tea,’ both giving us the opportunity to enjoy a cup of hot tea with milk and honey.

Afternoon Tea is from 3:00 to 5:00 and High Tea is from 5:00 until 6:00 in the evening. Since High Tea has been replaced by our dinner hour, the Afternoon Tea allows just enough time to get in a bit of relaxation before the dinner hour is looming.

So light a fire, pour a cup of tea, and try some of these Earl Gray Tea Madeleines. Oh, and use your fine china. If you don’t enjoy it, who will?

The teacup design is available on all of our stationery products and is the perfect design to use when you want to have a tea party. Have fun, be a little formal,  invite some friends over for a cup of tea. You’ll be glad you did.

February…. Brrrrrrrrr

corr_snowman_textJust because I can’t pat together a snowball, roll it through the yard to make three BIG snowballs, plop them on top of one another and add coal for eyes,  a carrot for a nose, stones for a smile and a soft blue scarf, doesn’t mean I don’t know how.  And just because it’s too warm here to make a snowman, doesn’t mean I’m warm.  It was 47 degrees when I woke up this morning.  It’s only 64 degrees now, which is cold for southern California.  So technically, I can’t make a snowman, but I still like to use the snowman design to write notes and remind myself of those snowy days.  I can make a snowman here though, thanks to Ben and Jerry’s.  This should keep you busy for hours. Did you know… the largest snowman was constructed in February 1999 in Maine. Even more interesting though is that it took him until June 10th to melt.  I like that someone is keeping track of these big snowmen.
