4th annual tea trade deadline extended

good tranquil tuesday morning to you!!  i have some fabulous news to share!!  i originally had the 4th annual tea trade deadline set to this past saturday the 15th due to my original plans of being out of town the latter half of the month.  but since my sweet little cat, dooty, had to go to the vet my entire month of september got switched around.  but i'm happy to say that dooty is doing much better. 

and in honor of the dooty doing much better and me being around for the latter half of september i'm extending that happiness to the rest of you who were interested in getting in this years tea trade but missed the deadline.

the deadline has been extended until THIS saturday, september 22nd at 11:59pm est.!!

please be sure to visit the blog post with all of the details before signing up.

“only when we deepen our appreciation of ourselves, and what we have to offer, can we begin to truly appreciate and truly support and love another. when you begin a relationship with someone it is the relationship with your self that continues to deepen as you learn to share your space with a partner.”

if you are cold, tea will warm you;

if you are heated, it will cool you;

 if you are depressed, it will cheer you;

if you are exhausted, it will calm you.
