The Pleasures of Home and This and That

My vintage cabinet just cleaned for the season.

Tea time, afternoon tea, tea break..... an essential part of my day. Nothing fancy, today it was a quick cuppa in the studio while I did some un-sewing. Upside down I made a block, upside down! I needed a break! After about one and a half to two hours, I must take a break. About 3 pm every day I have a bit of a meltdown.

I recently read a comment by a tea enthusiast that made me think. She is young and in the early state of collecting tea ephemera, she just received a new tea pot for her birthday. But, alas, she says, it drips. Quite a bit actually. What to do? What to do? Get out your little knitting needles ladies, look at these little rings on the spout. Yea! Don't you just love such simple inventions? This photo came from somewhere on Pinterest I think.


I suppose all this stay-at-home time has given us all something to embrace.  Since this is the season where I tend to empty my display cabinets, china is on my mind.
