Our perfect pairings for weddings

I’m fond of saying that now that I’m married myself, I love going to weddings. I don’t consider myself a great party thrower, and so while I managed to plan a lovely event for my husband and myself seven years ago, I certainly didn’t relish the process. So these days when I’m invited to a wedding, it reminds me that I made it — I don’t have to throw another celebration in honor of that unless I really want to, and I can attend someone else’s wedding and just enjoy myself, stress-free. My party planning days aren’t over – recently my oldest daughter turned 4, and I found myself assembling goody bags for her birthday party. And while stuffing crazy straws and temporary tattoos into those bags I thought about how the favors we give to guests at our weddings … Continue reading

The art of gift giving

The gift-giving season isn’t the easiest time of year for many of us. It’s not full of “I found the perfect gift that will tell you just how much I love you” moments.  Often times you experience more “I’m so stressed out; I hope you forgive me for this less than perfect gift” moments. (Unless you count the time I designed a beer stein for my dad’s homecrafted brew. That was perfect.) Richard, founder and owner of two leaves and a bud tea. co., passed out some small gifts to those of us who work in the office. We each got a tea sachet-holder, for lack of a better term, made by a local potter. Maybe Richard is sick of watching us over-steeping our tea at our desks, because we don’t have good places to put a used sachet that … Continue reading

Time to bag the tea bags

I’m not going to name names here, but you know that bag of tea you’ve had in the pantry for a couple of months? The one you bought because Blue Raspberry Delight tea sounded fantastic as you cruised the grocery store aisles? Take it out, cut it open, and dump it on your kitchen counter. Let me tell you what you’re looking at: tea dust. At least, that’s what we call those miniscule particles of tea that came out of the bag. Now grab the nearest sachet of tea you have — you know what I mean by “sachet,” right? Like a bag, but really more of a pyramid-shaped pouch, that probably cost you a bit more. Rip it open at the seam and dump the contents on the counter (you don’t want to, but this is a learning opportunity.) … Continue reading
