Soft, Sober, Sage & Venerable Liquid


Early morning sunshine. . .spring flowers. . .and a pot of hot tea.

"Thou soft, thou sober, sage and venerable liquid! Thou innocent pretense for bringing the wicked of both sexes together in the morning! Thou female tongue-running, smile-soothing, heart-opening, wink-tipping cordial to whose glorious insipidity I can owe the happiest moments of my life."
Colby Cibber

  4. Our Teavana tea shopping habit is expensive...but worth is. Citrus Lavendar tea anyone? Or Sakura Green tea (flavored with cherry blossoms...).
    Bernie will be having his favorite Thai Mountain Oolong.

  6. P.S. Your tension might be too tight so that's why you are getting the ruffled edges on your dishcloths. That's okay! I'm sure they are turning out great. :)
