Serendipity Revisited

A few weeks ago I told you all about an amazing tea shop in Monrovia, California called The Loose Teas.

Having had such a wonderful experience there, I decided to try out my local "tea shop". I stopped in to the Biltmore to purchase a gift for a friend. I was quickly greeted and explained what it was I wanted. As I wandered around the shop with the clerk I explained that I was hoping to find something unique like what I'd found in Monrovia. Exasperated after not being able to show me anything that seemed appropriate, the clerk informed me that perhaps it would be best if I just went back to Monrovia to do my shopping. I must add this was said in a slightly condescending tone of voice. Well!

So, that's what I did. Look what I found.


                                                                                                   

I like the bold colors and the way . . .
