teatime

I’ve never been a huge fan of the long cold winter months here in Wisconsin. However, there is one thing that always seems to make it a bit better, a nice warm cup of tea!

A few winters ago my then roommate and dear friend Ellen and I had many kitchen study sessions always accompanied by a nice cup of hot tea. This Christmas I saw it fitting to make her a lovely tea wallet that she was delighted to receive.

I’ve been a big fan of tea since I was really little. I remember spending time at camp grandma & grandpa eating breakfasts of oatmeal and berries and drinking hot tea. My favorite kind of tea is Bigelow’s Perfect Peach; it always reminds me of those summers with my grandparents.

So today I present you with teatime, best enjoyed with a nice warm cup of your favorite tea.

hello yellow

Hello all, hope you had a lovely weekend (+ Monday). This week I thought I'd share a little more about myself and a few of the things I absolutely love.

Yellow is my absolute favorite color! I love light buttercup yellow and deep mustard yellow the most. It wasn't a big surprise when I choose to incorporate yellow into my wedding colors (plus pair it with Seth's favorite color, blue, and you've got the Brewers colors)!

This color always seems to brighten my day, I hope it brightens yours!
