Episode 361, Sweaters in progress.
Welcome to episode 361. This week I did tons of crafting, but I’m working on larger projects so I don’t have as much to show.

Drink Me: Teapigs, Liquorice and Mint
In my neverending quest to find a licorice tea that I love, another selection I added to my last Teapigs order was their Liquorice and Mint tea.

Literary Tea Co.
You might imagine I could get behind a company whose slogan is “Drink more tea, read more books.” The Literary Tea Co. is a purveyor of organic teas “inspired by literary geniuses.” Why not try a cup of William Shakespeare Tea, a blend of black tea with orange peels and rose petals? https://img0.etsystatic.com/060/0/10128914/il_570xN.695573854_3zzc.jpg Or perhaps… Continue reading Literary Tea Co.
