Vanilla Orchid from DAVIDsTEA
84

Yay! Tealogs are working again!
Here’s one I wrote over the weekend:

My Dad dropped by this morning for a quick little visit, and to donate some money for a fundraiser that my hubby is participating in. My hubby’s intention was to raise awareness for the cause, not necessarily, to raise funds, but our generous friends, family, and especially his some wonderful co-workers requested that he collect donations. I can’t help but love supportive co-workers like that, even if I’ve never met some of them.

While my Dad was visiting, I decided to brew up the last little bit of this tea to share during our visit. My sinuses are still giving me trouble, but I was still able to appreciate the yummy yogurty-vanilla aroma and taste of this oolong. I used more leaves than required, mostly because it seemed like too little to leave for next time, but thankfully I have been able to get 2 solid steeps out of those leaves with no loss of flavour and will likely be able to at least get one more out of them. I’m not sure when I plan to go to David’s next, but this is another one that will be topping my shopping list.

For now I’m off to enjoy a bit of sunshine while it lasts!

That’s my mug! I’ve never really been a huge fan of Winnie the Pooh, but I like the fact that this mug is more or less clear. Plus, I can’t help but giggle when I say “ewww …I have Pooh on my mug” and people in the room gawk in horror before realizing I’m talking about Winnie. Am I easily amused? heck yeah!

A little something about my interests? – In no particular order, I love tea, makeup, paper crafting (card making), home renovations, and gardening.

As a rule, I tend to drink my tea without adding anything, but if that doesn’t work for me, I indulge in the fact that rules are meant to be broken. Yep! I’m such a rebel…sometimes I even color outside the of lines :P
