As some of you know, and others have surmised, the time to close my online teashop has come. Family needs are bringing this lovely chapter of my life to a close. Next week my family will move my mother to memory care, and we know Mom will need all the care and attention we can give her to help her feel loved, safe and secure.
Will this closing be permanent? I don’t really know, never say never, but should I re-open, it will likely be via little offerings here and there. For now, I plan to focus on my mother, my family, my garden and gift myself time to simply breathe.
My closing sale is underway. Everything is 50% off and there is no code to fuss with, the discount will be automatically applied and calculated. I’ll pack and ship as quickly as I’m able, and if you are local and you’d like to pick up in person, I would love that. You just may need to be a little patient. Also, please know tea labels will be quite simple, perhaps hand-written, and packaging may be a mix as I work through supplies.
I anticipate closing the shop portion of my website on or around March 8. My website will transition to just a blog, this online journal where I will share my doings and my thoughts on who knows what. After all, I’m going to be starting a new chapter and I’m not at all sure what is to come.
Thank you for your understanding and for being such a lovely part of my life story.

Thinking of you this morning, Dori dear, with my f-i-l in the er, again. And it is so touching to find the messages from Teemie and Lidy! A thread has connected us all for so long, since those Victoria Business of Bliss days. Emergencies aside, I am no longer feeling the bliss of most of my work (except W&S) and am also ready to focus elsewhere…a different sort of “business” of bliss. Much love, Lesley
