We're back...

We've been missing for a while. It's been a little on the crazy side around here. Work is non-stop just before summer and moving to NC has become a reality. Andrew went to sign his work papers and came back with a house. I've never seen it, which is completely frightening. Fingers crossed that Andrew nailed it. 

 Here she is...

Her specs:

-    -   ½ an acre lot (crap- that’s a lot of lawn to mow…anyone know anything about goats?)

-      - 4 bedrooms + a study

-       -2.5 baths

-     -  2500 square feet- little pup will be in heaven hiding his tennis balls all over this place

A few things will be changing fast. The master bedroom is currently purple {ugg} and the other colors aren't much better... which means the blog will be blowing up all fall. 

Let the decorating begin… In September!

Tea time.

 I invested in a loose leaf tea set. I know, I know, it was very ENGLISH of me. 

So far, I’ve only purchased 2 types of tea and I love them both... an Oolong and a Green.

I think. 

The equipment: 

Perfectly measured tea (not really, I actually have no idea how much to use):

The Brew: 

started with leaf balls

ended with loose leaves

 The Final Product:  

Oh, and it was time to prepare for summer and bust this bad boy out:

Not sure how to loose leaf in this thing.

As for the little pup… he remains cozy while I brew.

 As usual.

Lots of Tea happening around here these days. 

Any tea drinkers out there with any advice or recommendations?

Mini photographs, please.

The cutest things arrived on my doorstep this week… MINI photos. If you know me, you know that I LOVE all things mini. Except for the papillon, he's on the large size. 

Social Print Studio

I got the Print Studio APP on my I pad, clicked on my favorite pictures, and they were here in a few days. The photos are tiny… about the size of your Iphone screen. They are also printed on a nice, durable, card stock with a matte finish. They are almost like your very own playing card. Obviously the little pup needed a few.

Oh, and they print your Instagram pictures too! 

I added the highlighter for a nice,  little size comparison. You're welcome!

  

 I highly recommend them!
