My Brother.

Seriously,How amazing is he? I'm obsessed with the song.Can't believe he wrote it.

Secondly:My camera is sadly neglected of late,as life tends to spin madly on.My phone has kindly offered to share some images.

Happy March everyone!!

Shoes.Some people love them,others (like this writer) are indifferent to their charms.But whatever the case,we tend to collect them.Here are a few of mine and their stories.

White summer shoes.[2nd hand]
I've had these beauties for just under a year.They were pulled from the depths of a cardboard box and have been in the light ever since.I like to imagine that some grandma somewhere once enjoyed them as much as I do now.Also,as you can tell,that grandma and myself have worn them into a someone dishevelled state.

[

FANCY FEET]

[F21]

Ah yes.The green heels.Probably the most comfortable/pretty things ever to grace my toes.

Together we have skipped through the streets of big faraway citys and danced through dates.

Boots.[Thrifted]

These boots came from the thrift store just around the corner from my house,and have treated me just right all fall and winter.

Hello yellow.[Vintage]

The mustard pumps became my friends about a month ago,and it truly was love at first sight.

[Thrifted]

Summer sandals [2nd hand]

We've been on alot of adventures,me and these shoes.

Retired work shoes.

Covered in mocha,milk,whipped cream and many fond memories.

Which are you favourite's?

Yours,
K

“Once in a golden hour,
I cast to earth a seed,
And up there grew a flower,
That others called a weed.”

"i went to the woods because i wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if i could not learn what it had to teach...

i wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life...

our life is frittered away by detail. simplicity, simplicity, simplicity!

why should we live with such hurry and waste of life?

we are determined to be starved before we are hungry...

let us spend one day as deliberately as nature, and not be thrown off the track."

- h. d. thoreau

Its in the air.

(And the day I got my camera)

//The very first picture I ever took with my brand new camera,the joy
that is shining from the face of my beloved is the result of giving me it.\\

//Food was eaten.
Tales were told.
The rustling poplars kept our secrets.
And echoed our laughter.\\

"So I walked back to my room and collapsed on the bottom bunk, thinking that if people were rain, I was drizzle and she was a hurricane. :"

Tea-To simply say I love tea is a vast understatement,I am,in fact rather infatuated with it.I have started memorizing the tea manual at work so to further my knowledge of all things tea.
Snow! And all its fluffy goodness.
Mr.Buckley and his sidekick Kleenex-My new best friends.
The 100 year old radiator in my room,which is currently warming my back.
My Michael-For being a dear,and making me soup
Starbucks-For filling my bank account.
Chapters-For emptying it.
Jesus-For providing for me.
Canon-for making the 50mm lens then selling it to me.
Pretty blogs to tiptoe through
For kind comments and visits.
My little garret room,and its cheery mess.
And for my family,who I miss dearly.

What are you thankful for?

Home is wherever I'm with you.

The perfect cup of tea can evoke a myriad of different emotions.

First. The sense of adventure. You run your fingers over the various tins, jars and bags. You pause to ask yourself " What tea mood am I in? Dreamy Chamomile? Melancholy earl grey? Bold Chai?

Perhaps you take the weather in to consideration.The sunbeams drawing you towards the bright floral leaves,the dark winter clouds push you into the warm arms of smoky vanilla.

Whatever you choose,you know you will spend the next hour with a friend,old or new.

After adventure, comes Anticipation. The joyous whistle of the kettle, the clink of the spoon and soft sigh of the steam. Your favorite mug sits waiting to be filled then emptied. The ceremony is about to begin.

The First sip. Excitement. Contentment. Contemplative.

The mist swirls around your nose, maybe even creeping into the corners of your eyes as you think of someone far away, or trace the letters on a page of some wistful story. The warmth embraces your tongue, the taste, your soul.

The middle of the cup, or Betwixt and Between.

The momentary journey is starting to come to a close. The heat is starting to wane, the flavour,at its strongest. This cup will soon fade into the mural made up of tiny memories. But for a few seconds longer, you will remain in this tranquil frame of mind.

The Bottom. The Grand Finale.

And so Friends, we have reached the end. The last drop is delicately perched on the lip of the mug, the smell lingers in the air and you are left with a lovely case of the "Warm and Fuzzies".

What's your tea story?
