The Sharing Tea Boutique
As the holidays approach and our readers look for unique gifts and personal items that will add beauty and meaning to their own lives and the lives of family members and friends, we have selected some unique gifts that our readers can purchase using the same simple method that has been available for years to buy recipes, menus and the entire Tea Book.

I cannot recommend Blue Wings highly enough; the book feels immediately at home in your hand, open it at random and a poem is revealed, perhaps just the right poem for that moment. Or start at the beginning and journey with Rose as she finds the beauty and sanctity in everyday life, creating a gentle way to find peace in our own space. I came slowly to love poetry, but I am now a huge fan and think the fresh thought or feeling given by a poem is a gift we offer ourselves. Paired with your favorite cup of tea, a few moments with Blue Wings will truly uplift your spirit.

Wanting to match the high quality of Rose’s offering, Suzi, my fearless baking partner, and I are adding a few of our very best baked goods to the boutique this holiday season. Suzi will be making her decadent English Toffee in half pound bags with festive ribbon bows, and I will make my all-butter shortbread, in bakery boxes, or tins, if I can source pretty ones. Both the toffee and shortbread will be available to order beginning on November 15th until December 14th, for your Christmas, Hanukkah, and New Year’s celebrations and gifting. |

As some of you may know, we have several artists in the family and are thinking about putting some small drawings and paintings in the boutique. We have just roughed out the idea and are still thinking about how that would work. We will keep you posted when we figure it all out. As my Grandpa Pat used to say, “We’ll observe ourselves closely, and see what we do.”
Readers who buy any of these items from our new Sharing Tea Boutique before the end of the year will also receive the free PDF download of The Complete Tea Book, a treasure trove of tea-related information, recipes, menus and seasonal hosting ideas. We are grateful for our readers who have supported www.myteaplanner.com, a pop-up and advertising free venue for the past ten years. We hope that our new Sharing Tea Boutique will enrich your journey “back to civilization” even more!
