"Brightly"
#Teableau 18Nov25

A spot of color on a grey day.

#Tea
Tea tableau on red calico with a matching tea cozy and pale green vintage china. There are also a beige crocheted square and a white handkerchief with red crewel edging and an embroidered red rose. There is a red glass rose between the teacup and the creamer, and the tea is Champagne Splashes, a strawberry tea by Lovaré.

Turquoise goes with anything, am I right?

#Tea #Color
Vivid orange and blue tea tableau on a base of paper fully patterned in monarch butterfly wings. The china is pre-War Nipponese lustreware in aqua blue with a row of orange birds. There is a golden spoon with a monarch butterfly finial. There is a monarch butterfly made of silk. There is a Kelvin Chen teapot trinket box painted with a design of Van Gogh Sunflowers. The backdrop is a brightly painted box with an abstract design in orange, yellow, royal blue, and teal. The Ceylon black tea is in a matching packet upon a card done in similar colors.

"Kit Kat Chit Chat"
#Teableau 16Nov25

The larger cat is a vintage Avon perfume bottle holding Here's My Heart cologne. When I was 7, a great- grandmother I'd not yet met sent me a tiny bottle of the same cologne from across the country, so the scent is poignant for me.

#Tea #Nostalgia #Avon
Tea tableau on a light blue linen square. In back is a clear blue glass Art Deco Depression Glass cream and sugar set on a caddy. The tea cozy has a beige background with a pattern of various colors of cheerful cats. They china is a dainty Haviland ecru demitasse upon a crocheted white, blue, and pink doily. There is a white milk glass cologne bottle shaped like a cat, and a smaller, seated cat figurine that resembles a stuffed animal. The tea is a grey and blue square canister of Vanilla Comoro black tea from Harney and Sons.

With apologies to Maggie Stiefvater.

Tea tableau on white linen embroidered with a dark maroon flower. At center are a pair of horses, one of which is a golden yellow jeweled enamel trinket box and the other is a large cloisonne brooch. There is a cream colored demitasse set embossed with gold, and a tea cozy in a flowing abstract design of black and rust. The tea is a gold packet of Darjeeling from Ahmad.

Can I still call it a teableau if it's a coffee tableau?

#Tea #Coffee
A variation on a tea tableau using coffee, instead. Upon a blue MidCentury atomic tablecloth there is a yellow Fiestaware oval tray holding two Jacobs coffee cups and a jeweled enameled rooster trinket box. Behind them are a shiny chrome MidCentury Modern coffee percolator and a blue and yellow bag of Horn and Hardart Automat coffee.

This saucy teapot always makes me smile. The design is very reminiscent of a Clarice Cliff piece, but I don't know if it is one.

#Tea #ClariceCliff
Tea tableau with an audacious teapot in bold colors with a loud design, a miniature teapot in a similar style, a child's teacup, a tiny blue turtle, and Sour Cherry Infusion from Taylors of Harrowgate, upon an orange towel centered by a teal crocheted square.

"Bigleaf Maple"
#Teableau 12Nov25

We walked the dogs on a trail last evening that was thickly carpeted in Bigleaf Maple leaves, some larger than Thanksgiving platters.

#Tea #BigleafMaple #PNW
Tea tableau on a bed of tan and bright yellow bigleaf maple leaves, with a camo- patterned tea cozy to blend in, an orange lustre Fireking mug, a packet of Maple black tea, and a gold spoon with a monarch butterfly handle.

Tea tableau with red poppies everywhere, painted on glass, china, and pottery shars, on tea cozy fabric, on a tea tin of English Breakfast black loose-leaf tea, and two blossoms in a small rusted watering can, to commemorate Veterans Day and Armistice Day.

This is absurd and plainly illegal. The courts should reject this fringe theory.

But the real news here is Trump will do anything to try to kill an agency that has returned more than $21 billion to scammed Americans, but he'll do nothing to lower costs for American families.

Not sure if it's evident here, but the etching on the cobalt blue mug is of the Space Needle. 💙

#Tea #PNW
White and blue tea tableau featuring a cozy with a sparkly pattern of snow flurries, next to a dark blue ceramic statuette of a dolphin, a cobalt glass mug with the Space Needle etched on its front and lit by a candle within, a trio of tiny glass octopuses, and strands of pearl beads draped like sea foam. The tea is a black and green wedge- shaped box of Mint black tea.

Take food from poor, throw it in the garbage, borrow more money and give it to billionaires. Like all dictators do.

No, but a new deal just dropped that the former chief of DOGE will now get a 1 trillion dollar payout from his own company if certain tasks are done.

After all, what could be more efficient and not wasteful than a government-subsidized company giving 1 trillion to a single person?

Before ACA, many Americans couldn’t afford insurance

Alex Smith was a diabetic who got kicked off his Mom’s insurance at 26

He made 35k a year which was “too much” for Medicaid, but not nearly enough to cover insurance premiums

He had to ration his insulin & died a month after losing insurance
Insulin's High Cost Leads To Lethal Rationing
Alec Raeshawn Smith was 23 when diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes and 26 when he died. He couldn't afford $1,300 per month for his insulin and other diabetes supplies, so he tried to stretch the doses.

I don't care that it's fashionable to malign pumpkin spice; I love the stuff.

#Tea #PumpkinSpice
Bright autumn tea tableau with patterns of pumpkins and forest flowers, and bee figurines, and a cream and sugar set that looks like honeycomb, and a mug with the inscription Pumpkin Spice is Everything Nice, and a box of Bigelow Pumpkin Spice black tea.

#Teableau 08Nov25

The teapot is a rescue. It has a crack in back, making it unsuitable for holding tea, and so was about to be discarded, but I find it perfectly decorative and asked if I could bring it home with me, instead. 😊

#Tea #Teapots
Tea tableau in palest pink with touches of peach, orange, and lilac, with a white and black figural fox terrier teapot where the handle looks like a pink bow trailing from the dog's neck. There is an embroidered tea towel, vintage china, a handmade floral card, and Wild Pear green tea.

#Teableau 07Nov25

The little teapot is from Torquay, from a pottery collection that was typically sold to tourists, but I doubt it was found in any hotel giftshop of Basil Fawlty's.

#Tea #Torquay
Rustic tea tableau on a purple field and an ecru crocheted cloth. There is a set of tall row houses, a large evergreen tree, a town clock, a teapot with a cottage painted on it, a tiny porcelain clothes iron, a tiny dark blue teapot, and a miniscule white terrier figurine. The cup and saucer are a Royal Winton Grimwades Ye Old Innes pattern showing an 18th Century couple arm in arm. The tea in the clock tower tin is English Afternoon black loose-leaf tea from Ahmad.

Another of my Yixing teapots. This one's for steeping Earl Grey.

#Tea #Yixing
Tawny tea tableau with a dark brown Yixing teapot on an upended uranium glass bowl as a pedestal. There are a mini pumpkin and white and yellow roses at the base, an elegant vintage cup and saucer, and a pair of tiny fox figurines. There is a large napkin with an image of a live fox printed on it, and a hotpad with a packet of St Dalfour Mango Green Tea on it.

It's wondrous to live along a main corridor of the Pacific Flyway.

#Tea #BirdMigration
Tea tableau on ivory and white with Autumn toned china and an antique metal tray, and a bisque porcelain figurine of a pair of geese. The cozy is embroidered linen, there is also a handkerchief with embroidered flowers that mimic the floral pattern on the cup, and a dainty MidCentury smoked glass vase holding dwarf maple fronds of deepest ruby hues. The tea is a blue and buff tin of Vanilla Comoro black loose-leaf tea from Harney and Sons.
