Tea Leaves

Lately,

 I am obsessing once again. 

This time it is over tea!

Tea bags, tea leaves

&

 sipping hot steaming green tea.  

I found this darling dress to share with you!

It is made out of mighty leaf tea pouches! 

 I love it!!

It makes me imagine sitting in a hot jacuzzi, pretending it is a giant tea cup

&

 I am the teabag! 

This image makes me imagine 

organic fluffy down pillows

&

 thick antique linen or hemp sheets.

 If I were a designer,

I would design recycled french teabag bedding....

The tag would be a tea bag~  

It would be scented like my sweet Noel..

Or maybe my all time very favorite,

the fresh perfumed scent of

 Earl Grey French Blue tea leaves

from

 Mariage Freres~ 

To drink....

I choose as Vicki Archer just posted,

{who inspired this post}

steaming hot Green Tea tea in the morning!

It makes our bodies sing!

&

it makes us happy!

There is only one problem I have...

I never seem to get enough~

Muah's 

sweet friends!
