Like dog and cat people, and journey and destination people, I think there are also coffee and tea people. And while I do love my vanilla lattes, for the most part I fall into the latter category.
There's something truly magical about a good cup of tea - it warms, it soothes, it relaxes - just a few sips can change your whole perspective....Which is exactly the feeling I was trying to convey with the latest eBay offering, a witchy tea box. I hope I've succeeded. ;)
I've also been busy these past few days with creative pursuits of the culinary variety...Friday's project was a fresh peach pound cake with apricot brandy glaze....
And last night found me staying up 'til all hours blanching, cooling, cutting and freezing a large batch of summer sweet corn. This is an annual project, and I admit I grumble about the time involved, but come January, I'm always soooooooo glad I froze so much of the stuff. :)
I'd like to say the latest domestic kick extended itself to houscleaning and organizing, but I'm afraid the place still looks like the art explosion. ;)
Ah well, one thing at a time.....
It's approaching midnight as I type this, and if I'm not careful, I'll turn into a pumpkin, so off I go. But not before wishing everyone a happy and creative week ahead!
I'll be back very soon with photos of works in progress....

that witchy teabox is actually amazing! its so halloweeny!
ReplyDeleteDo you sell your items in the uk or at least ship the out here? The only reason I ask is because I live in the UK and can't find items like you sell over here, plus your works amazing!! You might want to try selling this way, I know I'd buy from you!

ReplyDeletePxie, I do indeed ship to the UK, as long as it's not an oversized piece. If you see something you like on eBay or Etsy, just email me for an estimate. :)

ReplyDeleteHelloooo there Carolee! Long time no stopping in--although it curbs me from feeling sad about buying your wonderful work--although today, I might also say that I would also try to run off with your lovely cake! :)

Ok, so there must be a sinfully delicious recipe for this cake somewhere.... and the spell check area of this blog noted that Halloween is mis-spelled...but don't tell anyone!
ReplyDeleteI just spent the day freezing my string bean harvest. Your right, hard work, but yummy in the winter!!!
