Tea Stash Loot

I do have something to blog about. I got a wonderful assortment of goodies from Jannett, my Tea Swap Pal. There is Mauritius tea from Teasource, which I read has a vanilla flavor.  It's new to me. There are delicious Swedish vanilla gingersnaps. cute knit-theme notecards and pink heart Post-its. She sent hand-made stitch markers, and blue sock yarn, a pretty tea bag holder, apricot and raspberry jams (my favorites) and a chai recipe and some chai spices mix. Oh yes, and lovely floral- scented hand cream.

In knitting news, I am close to being done with the left side of my Fiery Bolero. It was mainly an effort to use up my KnitPicks Shine, but I am getting worried. I have one entire ball left and tiny bit of another. Anyone have 1 ball of Shine in Turquoise. You know I would have to order $40.00 worth of stuff to get free shipping.... dangerous.

Tea Stash II

Here is my office tea stash. I would have put it on the Tea Swap blog, but Blogger is having none of it right now. I  included the African violets on the right, as the teapot pots are so cute! Some of my favorite loose black tea is here, includding Adagio's buttery Candy Cane, and Assam Harmony, as well as Tazo loose chai and Awake bags. (I just ordered a case of them.)  The Mrs. Tea and the tea-for-one rarely get used. It doesn't show up well, but the IngenuiTea brewer from Adagion is in the back, which I got  because it was fascinating in their video. Yes, I am easily amused. I like to dunk gingersnaps,  (in front of the radio, which is permanently tuned to the campus sometimes-NPR station)  in my chai.
