The Double mint blend is a blend of peppermint and spearmint. I bought the seasonal sampler… Continue reading Drink Me: Tea Market, Double Mint
Earlier this week a friend posted some delightful looking mugs from Stuff You Love. I had to go check it out for myself. These are my favorites!
As you know, I recently ordered a few teas from Plum Deluxe. Another tea in this order was Strawberry Orange Herbal Tea.

This blend contains nothing but Tung Ting Oolong tea. Tung Ting Oolong is available in a sample size for $2.50 and a pack of 15… Continue reading Drink Me: Teapigs, Tung Ting Oolong Tea

A few months ago I was contacted by the folks over at Stitchcraft Marketing to see if I would be interested in knitting something out of Manos del Uruguay Marina. Marina is a superwash merino laceweight single that comes in 874 yard/100g skeins. I went pattern surfing and couldn’t find a shawl I was dying to knit,… Continue reading Knit Me: Manos del Uraguay Marina in Arboretum
