"Thursday After Thunder" teableau for 03/27/25

There was a wild storm last night- momentous lightning, ground-shaking thunder, hard rain- that caught houses on fire & blew out windows. Yet today, it's as if nothing at all occurred, just sedate calm all around. Storms be that way.

Tea tableau in teal, purple, and red with warm wood cabinets and graceful drapery, a heavy glass vase of brilliant red roses, a quilted table square, a vivid tea cozy, and a Portmeirion Sarah Miller tea mug, with a box of Roasting Sejak green tea.

"Dear Ruth" teableau for 03/26/25

I love vintage greeting cards. The one here is from the 1950s.

A birthday tea tableau in honor of a friend. There is Portmeirion Botanic Garden china, a bisque porcelain music box statuette of a little girl reading a book, a frilly pink cozy cover and pink calico tea towel, and a birthday card from the 1950s. The tea is Alice In Wonderland tea from Harney and Sons.

"Little Possum" teableau for 03/21/25

Primeval forager,
gentle, quiet.
Make garden pests their steady diet;
But gods forbid the dog should spy it,
Or else ensues
unholy riot.

Tea tableau in spring pastels of lavender, blue, and pink with sweet florals and whimsical stripes, and at center a handpainted rock depicting a cute baby possum. The tea is Blackcurrant Burst black tea from Ahmad.

"Viol, Violas" teableau for 03/18/25

Someone today was played like a
_stringed instrument_

for his efforts.

"Greenery" teableau for 03/12/25

The cup & saucer at center are very old, given to my octogenarian friend in her childhood by a WWI English vet disabled from being gassed in the trenches. My friend, raised in NZ, gave it to me in WA State. It's seen some things.

Tea tableau with a green Irish theme including a picture of a leprechaun, an Irish knitted cozy, vintage china and green glass figurines of bird, frog, and teacup, on a crocheted rectangle, with Irish Cream black tea.

Something pretty to ease the moment, if but for a moment.

"The Pleasant Pheasant" teableau for 03/02/25

I felt like I needed a teableau with a name like an English pub. Or an indie bookstore in California. Or a Panamanian-American jazz drummer's instrumental single.
