"Goghing Dutch" teableau for 03/30/25

This tea cozy cover was the very first one I bought from The Family Busyness on Etsy, thereby launching my mania for tea cozy covers & inspiring this peculiar teableau hobby.

Tea tableau in rich blue and white with Delft Dutch emblems like windmills, sailing ships, wooden shoes, a blue tulip, and geese. The mat is gingham, the cozy cover is a Van Gogh style design, and the tea is Hot Apple Spice black tea from Harney and Sons.

"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.

Primeval forager,

Or else ensues
unholy riot.

"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.
