Thank you to all who voted in the teacup poll. The winner is the Golden Bramble teacup, a perennial favorite. It was such a lovely day that we went out into the garden for our photo shoot. Have a wonderful August, and may your harvests be all delight! Poll results…
Thank you to all who voted in the teacup poll. The winner is the charming Forget-me-nots teacup, seen here filled with Iron Goddess of Mercy tea, accompanied by a few plums from my garden. There are many more on the tree! I expect I’ll be making plum jam this year.…
Thank you to all who voted in the June teacup poll. The winner, by a nose, is the roses teacup! Here it is with some lovely Darjeeling, some Our Lady of Guadalupe roses from the garden, and some strawberries (which I have since eaten) in honor of the runner-up. Happy…
