"Refresh" teableau for 03/29/25
The charming copper lustreware mini cream pitcher is Lancaster & Sandland, Hanley, England, 1940s. I love the MidCentury design.

"Dear Ruth" teableau for 03/26/25
I love vintage greeting cards. The one here is from the 1950s.

The vintage tea cozy fabric is Waverly Violets, 1980s.
"Don't Tread On My Friend" teableau for 03/24/25
In case anyone forgot, Canada is a sovereign nation.
"Swanning About" teableau for 03/23/25
Mute Swans are famously monogamous, with only about a 3% divorce rate.
"Little Possum" teableau for 03/21/25
Primeval forager,
gentle, quiet.
Make garden pests their steady diet;
But gods forbid the dog should spy it,
Or else ensues
unholy riot.
"Spring Soon" teableau for 03/19/25
Tiny buds unfurl,
Baby fronds uncurl,
Spring freshets whirl,
For Life on Earth, averral.
"Viol, Violas" teableau for 03/18/25
Someone today was played like a
_stringed instrument_
and might receive a nice _bouquet_
for his efforts.
The Queen Catherine tea is an oblique reference, as is the flower variety.
"Greenery" teableau for 03/12/25
The cup & saucer at center are very old, given to my octogenarian friend in her childhood by a WWI English vet disabled from being gassed in the trenches. My friend, raised in NZ, gave it to me in WA State. It's seen some things.
"Still Winter" teableau for 03/11/25
Tiny tendrils of spring notwithstanding, winter lingers (and I'm okay with that).
"Slow Your Roll" teableau for 03/10/25
March is marching on too quickly.
"In All Of Us Command" teableau for 03/05/25
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free-
Oh, Canada, our friend
-And wise-
We share not
Enmity,
We know it is
The One who Lies
Who is
Our enemy
"Strawbreze" teableau for 03/03/25
Something pretty to ease the moment, if but for a moment.
"The Pleasant Pheasant" teableau for 03/02/25
I felt like I needed a teableau with a name like an English pub. Or an indie bookstore in California. Or a Panamanian-American jazz drummer's instrumental single.
