tea time to come

{via The City Sage}
Okay, so take a look at the first collage of books.  Top right corner there's a book called Honey Bunch.  Pretty sure my mom used to read a book to me called Honey Bunch that used to be hers.  Loved it.  Next, look at the second collage.  Bottom left corner is a Kodak Brownie camera.  I definitely have one of those sitting on my bedroom shelf!  This is all really encouraging to me: I'm discovering great decorative stuff I have sitting around my house!  Okay, so maybe not "discovering", I knew it's been there all along.  It's just difficult to decorate a house that is a "students" house, if you feel me.  A mish-mash of whatever you can afford or what is free (and not necessarily the good kind of vintage feel...).  But I am thankful for the fact that I probably pay less rent for such a decent place compared to anyone else in the city.

On another topic, I found this blog that has requested people to submit photos of their tea-times.  When you sit back with a spot of tea, it's always a relaxing and reflective time; needless to say, the artsy-ness of people can tend to come out.  So, why not document these creative/relaxing times in people's days.  How cool!  Check it out for yourself here.  I already had my London Fog for the day, but I think I may start documenting my tea-times to come!

hit up the MCC for some cheap little decorations, you can find the coolest little vases and such. I saw someone on christmas buying decanters to use for frankincense and myrrh. At that point I made the decision that I would like to have a house with decanters one day...so classy.

oh trust me, i've found some real gems at the mcc. it's just that having a collaboration of 3 peoples things (the roommates) doesn't have a tendency to have the luck of meshing nicely. ah well! when i get my own place...
i love decanters too. so cool.
