"Spring Soon" teableau for 03/19/25

Tiny buds unfurl,
Baby fronds uncurl,
Spring freshets whirl,
For Life on Earth, averral.

Tea tableau on a large green felt maple leaf with gold stitching. There is an antique embroidered tea cozy with a design of bluebirds, larkspurs, birdhouse, and mailbox; a small white porcelain figurine of a wren, a mint green vintage cup and saucer with floral edging, a gold handled white ceramic spoon, and purple box of Bellflower tea.

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

Someone today was played like a
_stringed instrument_
and might receive a nice _bouquet_
for his efforts.

The Queen Catherine tea is an oblique reference, as is the flower variety.

Tea tableau in brown and purple with a swirly pattern cozy, a vintage cup and saucer decorated with delicate viola flowers, a flower shaped spoon, a MidCentury purple glass bottle shaped like a viol musical instrument, a purple Czech vase with painted gold and white blossoms, and filigree pattern felt doily, and Queen Catherine black tea from Harney and Sons.

"Sound" teableau for 13Mar25

A nod to some of the things on or in Puget Sound: Lighthouses. Giant Pacific Octopus. Sailboat. People who paint Giant Pacific Octopuses on spoons.

Tea tableau in white with red and blue with a lighthouse motif in fabric, china, and figurines. Also a wooden sailboat, a MidCentury glass creamer and sugar set, a white linen tea towel with wild crocheted fringe edges, a tablespoon handpainted with the image of a waving red octopus with yellow eyes, and the tea is English Teatime black tea from Bigelow.

"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.

"Still Winter" teableau for 03/11/25

Tiny tendrils of spring notwithstanding, winter lingers (and I'm okay with that).

Tea tableau in white, blue, and purple with a vintage Johnson Brothers dish showing a winter farm scene, and antique opalescent white china, a cozy tea cozy, a tiny glass polar bear figurine, upon a striped, knitted square. The tea is Earl Grey Bella Luna loose leaf black tea from Adagio.

"Slow Your Roll" teableau for 03/10/25

March is marching on too quickly.

Peach and lavender tea tableau with a sloth theme featuring adorable sloths on a greeting card, as a figural teapot infuser, and a sparkly soft sculpture that is actually a dish scrubber but too cute to use. There is vintage china, a blown glass heart ornament, and a floral handmade cozy cover, and the tea is Tangerine PuErh black tea from the Tao of Tea.

"Strawbreze" teableau for 03/03/25

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

Tea tableau in the juicy red and rich green of ripe strawberries, with strawberry-themed china, glass, enamelwork, pottery, and fabric. There is a Medieval- seeming art card of four ladies in jewel-toned dresses walking through a bower, with doves flying overhead. The tea is a Wild Strawberry infusion from Ahmad.

"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.
