Got rid of lots of tea I hadn't touched for years and hopefully made things more accessible, just in time for a visit from dear friend and fellow tea fanatic Michelle Lunsford.
For the most part, I have bagged tea on the left (the silver canister is full of Harney & Sons Holiday tea sachets) and loose leaf on the right. The bottom right shelf is well-stocked with caffeinated black tea -- my mainstay -- and above that is the herbal/decaf tea. My favorites are all within easy reach!

If you’re tagged (I wasn't, but who cares?), you have to do the following:
Go to page 7 or 77 in your current manuscript
Go to line 7
Copy down the next seven lines/sentences as they are – no cheating
Tag 7 other authors (I hate tagging people. Please join the fun if you are so inspired!)
Two framed cross-stitch samplers hung upon otherwise bare walls. I leaned in to peer at one, but it was dated 1872 – at least 40 years too early to be the work of our mother. A pair of silverfish, curled in a death embrace, formed a whiskery blotch in the corner.
I turned to find Ana poking around in a cabinet. “There are the creepiest old toys in here – wooden soldiers covered in bite marks and dolls with half their hair gone. The carnage of Colleys past, I suppose.” She flipped her own hair back and shivered.

ReplyDeleteBTW, would you consider organizing my spice cabinet...and refrigerator...and pantry?
Everything else in my kitchen is a total mess, but I do organize my tea cabinet from time to time. I'm afraid I'd be no use to you!
Deleteno fair! not near enough! i want to read the rest of it, sonia.
ReplyDeleteKeep your fingers crossed that somebody wants to buy it!
DeleteI was procrastinating when I came across your meme...which made me see what mine would be...which returned me to my work! Thanks.:)
ReplyDeleteYou should post your 7 lines, Brandi!
Deletesonia, i just finished The Revenant last week and LOVED it! Oh my goodness, I am so anxious to read more of your work...the small snippet you just shared was very intriguing. "wow" was actually my first thought!
ReplyDeleteand i am drooling over your tea cabinet! *envies* I have never met anyone with more tea than me. I am definitely showing this pic to my coffee-drinking, non-tea-understanding hubby. :)
I'm so glad you enjoyed The Revenant, Tricia! Eeeee!
DeleteMy husband manages to drink both tea and coffee, but he still frowns at my overflowing tea cabinet from time to time. :)
