I have to admit that I am a tea freak. For me there was always something special about sitting down late afternoon and enjoying a pot of tea. When my children were younger, and when they could stay up later on weekends, we cuddled together in our family room enjoying tea and something sweet while watching TV. Things haven’t changed much for me except that I have become very selective about what teas I drink….also from what vessels.

In addition to being a “tea person”, I am also an observer of life. It seems that many of my brides are entrepreneurial. One of my brides, Shannon Collins, has launched a new business called “Spice Girls” in Sarasota, Florida. She carries over 500 organic spices and herbs and wonderful TEAS.

Recently I made a pot of tea using one of Shannon’s fabulous teas , (Zhena’s Gypsy Tea - Raspberry Earl Grey)…..it was beyond good so is the Zhena’s Pomegranate Rose.

Plan to stop by Spice Girls when you are in the Sarasota area - organic spices and herbs for gourmet cooking and healing plus an exquisite collection of tea. EW

Hmmm….custom floor mats for your car that feature STARK carpet in oriental, plaid or leopard print designs. If those are a bit too much for you (how could they not be!!)- the preppy monogrammed mats might just work! Do you think these things are kidproof? HH

A few months ago we posted about the on-line collaging site called Polyvore {Create Your Own On-line Collage} We have since uploaded a bunch of products from writeonandmore.com to the Polyvore item database and have enjoyed hundreds of users creating “sets” that feature one or more of our products.

It is just amazing to see all of the talent and originality in these designs. Take a look at how OUD used our Olivia Riegel Sea Creature Frame.
