Advent 2021

A New Type of Advent Calendar

Hello!  Happy December!  We received a gorgeous Advent calendar for Christmas.  It's a loose leaf tea calendar of Vahdam teas!

Cool, right?!

Just imagine 24 different teas! 

December 1

I wonder what we have today?

Himalayan Green Tea!

I love the little cannister.  I wonder if they are all the same color?

The leaves look nice and there is enough here for many steeps, not just one cup or one day.

Tea in the pot.

Add the cozy and wait.

(humming)

Look at how much the leaves uncurled!  Love it.

A beautiful color.

Let's give it a taste.  Remember, you shouldn't add milk t green tea, so I'm going to taste it plain and with  honey.

Well, it's good, but a bit grassy. 

The honey takes some of the edge off.  I wonder if a second steeping will be even better?

Yes, the second steeping was less grassy and more mild.  Oh, I put clover honey in the tea. 

Thank you for joining us for this December 1 tea review. I don't think we'll be posting daily; we haven't decided on a schedule yet.  My outfit is from Dressing Dollies; it's super comfy and has pockets!  If you visit the site, this is a Page set.

Oh, and since the calendar was a gift we are not going to search for it online and spoil it learning too much information.  However, Nonna found it on Amazon, so you can too. 😃

A HUGE thank you to our dear friend!

Have a great day!

October Coolspring Expo Recap Days 3-5

Welcome Back

Hi!  I didn't forget, just got a bit distracted.  Then all of a sudden it turned into November 15! How did  that happen? Yesterday was Halloween! Well, let's get back to the wonderful fall show at Coolspring!

Day Three

So Friday was kind of rainy and Xyra had gate duty so I hung out at the tent with Echo and Phil and the new puppy and kitty Maritza and Flo gave us.  (giggles)

I did get out a bit in the afternoon to check out the grounds.

After dinner we headed into the Power Tech building where Franz and Professor M and a few others were working on a generator.  

That was cool, but also loud when it got running.

I had a rebraiding session.

Day Four

Saturday was also a bit dreary.  We spent most of the day down at Sudlow Station with the Parmaco.  

Of course, we also got inspired to a bit of a photo shoot among the fall colors. That was fun!

Do you have a favorite photo?

The sun came out at dinner time. 

Day Five

After a tasty breakfast at Punxsy Phil's we packed up and headed home.  See that square?  That's where our tents were.

Traveling ins a lot of fun, but coming home is really nice too!

PS. Finishing up while watching Moana for the first time.  Great movie!  Hey Hey is hilarious!

Thank you for stopping by!  Please come again!
