Beautiful morning!

Interesting. I am up and ready for my show at The Gilman School today and I don't feel very tired. Normally when I only get 3 hours of sleep I do. The sky is a beautiful blue as I sit here drinking my blueberry tea :) perhaps that's why I feel so energized!

Sunny spot on a cloudy day

Bought these lovely little tea cups that I've had my eye on in Anthropologie for about a year! Finally, and on sale! Good thing I waited. Other than that, this day is fairly cold and cloudy which I actually prefer. 

stumbled upon these awesome chairs by Paper Craft from Japan. They are constructed from recycled paper material and are a beautiful simple design. I would love one for the studio!  Oh one more thing I found the other day: Tenso. It's a site that allows you to get a Japanese shipping address so you can order japanese goods even if they don't ship internationally! Check it out: www.tenso.com

Anyone know of other ingenious services like tenso  out there?

 

Haunting Pendants!

     

Added some new pendants to my jewelry case today, and am finishing the clean up on some of my tea ceremony pendants. When the collection is done it will showcase the many different shapes of tea vessels used during the japanese tea ceremony! Oh I must apologize for my lack of updates to my website! It is on my list of things to do (and has been for a while now...) So for now please be satisfied with my blog for updates until I get around to finishing my site! 

Also  I just had to share some amazing bath and body products by Haunt that I found on Etsy! They are delicious and oh so fall!

    

blood orange cocoa sugar polish!

Honey Lust lip balm!

and Milk and Nectar skin gloss! (I really want this one!)

Cake, Tea, and Jewelry!

What a whirlwind this week has been! Towson Fest was a blast! Thanks everyone for coming out to see me it really was a fun local show to do. Cake box was a great hit and I even got some business deals for future ventures! We'll see where this takes me : ) On Mothers day I brought over some wonderful Imperial White Tea blossoms and brewed a beautiful pot of tea! it was delicious. If you haven't tried some I highly recommend it! The buds I got are from Teavanna and they are GREAT! I have a lot of work to do from now till Viva! Vienna! in VA so I'll be busy! Also We are moving very shortly so I will be busy moving my studio into the new house and things might get a little crazy...

New Goodies!

Went shopping this morning at the International foods market and picked up some cute Tea Cakes and Almond Sweet Tea! Can't wait to enjoy these little treats! Also was playing around with the Gocco last night and made a set of 100 cards and stationary and have been happily painting them with watercolors, they turned out nicely.
