Tuesday Miscellany

Instead of more cruise pictures today, I have several miscellaneous items to share.

Remember that tea I was searching for? Emily in France sent me a different brand in the same delicious flavor, and now Jette has unearthed the original brand. She sent me 3 boxes (along with some other nice goodies, including a lavender sachet from her garden). So I'm set on peche-cassis tea for a little while. Yay! It smells so delicious!



Right before our cruise I took a glass fusing mini workshop with some friends. I received the finished pieces yesterday. I just have to attach some findings to the earrings:

The large blue thing is a suncatcher with a thin pocket for a single flower stem. The red star thing is also a suncatcher. The rectangle with the bumpy dichroic glass is a pendant; the glass matches a pair of earrings I bought a few years ago.

Glass fusing was really, really fun. I intend to learn more soon.

And today is Thing 2's 5th birthday. Here she is modeling some of the princess gear she received. She is definitely princess material.

Happy Birthday to Little Miss Thang #2!! Are you sure she is only 5? She looks at least 8. ;o)

Hi,

I came across your site while searching for "peche-cassis" tea. I had it while living in France for a little, and I am obsessed with it. I cannot find it anywhere, and saw that you knew some more about it! Do you happen to know where I could purchase it online or anywhere?

Thank you!

I'm afraid that this tea seems to be pretty much impossible to find outside France. I couldn't even find an internet source. I got mine--two different brands--from a couple of generous people in France who were willing to mail me some.

This tea is sooo good; I can't imagine why it's so hard to find.

Thank you for getting back to me so quickly. It is delicious. If I do happen to find it (which I am determined to do), I will let you know where!

Thanks again!
