A sweet lil doggo adoption success! 😍😍😍

I have a new friend! Meet Lankide (Basque for "colleague"), a tea friend from @queenbeeceramics.bsky.social

She's already making friends with Frankenbear, naturally.

I love finding out where my lil guys end up! Whatever his name turns out to be, I'm so glad he found a loving home and delicious iced tea!

I have a new friend courtesy of @fridaytea.com and @queenbeeceramics.bsky.social! Had to make an iced tea immediately to welcome him home while I decide on a name 💜

A photo showing my new ceramic "tea pet". A small figure with a wide smile and two crooked horns sits on top of a box of Mystery Tea Samples. The "Certificate of Adoption" is prominent, stating: "This is to certify that the tea pet named Dribble has been formally adopted by rhoniru on this 14th day of May. Witnessed by Queen Bee Ceramics" A photo showing my new ceramic "tea pet" after his first tea time. A small figure with a wide smile and two crooked horns sits in a yellow tea cup, with a shallow pour of tea surrounding him.

HE’S HERE! He hasn’t told me his name yet, but we’re just getting acquainted over our first brew…I’m sure he’ll open up after a few sips of Nightlife. Thank you for the new friend, @fridaytea.com and @queenbeeceramics.bsky.social!
Gong fu tea set on a dark brown bamboo tea tray, including a green gaiwan, a green and white tea cup full of golden colored tea, a small bouquet of blue flowers, a unicorn pegmatite stone…and the main attraction: the happiest tea pet ever! He is a little monster guy, with small white horns, a round purplish grey glazed body, and the goofiest grin.

Walter made it to his forever home and looks so dang happy to be there! Ready to add a little Squatch, Meep Morp, or Crow into your family? My next adoption event will be at the Whidbey Ren Faire in just a couple weeks: May 24-25!

We got alllllmost where we needed to be over the weekend. Still about $3k shy to be covered for a simultaneous rent/payroll week after a couple of slow months. SO!

1) We restocked tea pets!
2) Several tea faves just restocked!
3) Tea classes are still open!
4) Custom blend slots now open!

The last couple of months have kicked our asses into the ground with economic slowdown and we're back at Rent Party Time!

We gotta scrape up $15k with a quickness to be able to cover rent *and* payroll, more like $20k to get ourselves out of the stock scarcity hole and back to breaking even.

(1/7)
Slow season rent party! Sommelier class signups! Pure tea restocks galore! Gift cards 10% off! New tea pets!

I spent all morning making Meep Morps and now I'm on a ferry to work a wood kiln shift. I cannot stress to you all what a dream come true my life has become ✨😍✨

More crows are cooking in the kiln as I type, getting ready for the restock at @fridaytea.com ❤️🐦‍⬛❤️
Many small sculptures - mostly little crows - are nestled together inside of a kiln.

Played around with some potion bottles this afternoon. I'm hoping to catch them at the right time so I can add dragon scales to the straight walled ones... 🐲

Eight bottles made from a medium-brown clay are sitting on a metal shelf. The bottles vary in height, width, and overall shape. Some have textured necks while others are smooth for now.

I was reminded in person today about the importance of community for my mental health. As I was on my knees inside a kiln sweeping out debris and wadding, I started to remember this feeling. Being part of a happy crew of potters working hard towards a common goal.
