I always feel bummed when I have to miss T Day. :(<br /><br />I already know what my fave T Day post has been so far, so I know what I'll be linking up next week. :)<br /><br />Hope you had a great 4th of July weekend!Denise Pricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04627425586228447868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-33695638981730725312014-07-09T16:50:17.274-05:002014-07-09T16:50:17.274-05:00Really cool photos Elizabeth - I have seen clear g...Really cool photos Elizabeth - I have seen clear glass teapots used for this tea. I have never tried it. I bought a single one for my son as he is a tea drinker - he also ended up throwing most of it out. It seems that the visual appeal outweighs the flavour - although someone mentioned mixing it with other teas which might work.<br /><br />As to what to do with the bloom after... I wonder if you could dry it back out and stamp with it using light paint? If you dried it out so it is splayed out like that it would make a cool blossom stamp. :) I will be interested to see if this shows up at a later date!Cindy McMathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10786235605189409252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-9978554316805124062014-07-09T12:14:01.980-05:002014-07-09T12:14:01.980-05:00Re next weeks anni- I've only been joining y&#...Re next weeks anni- I've only been joining y'all for a few weeks- is distant past ok? or should I try to do a special b'day post?Robynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01805399324157676417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-26066698045246174822014-07-09T00:20:39.227-05:002014-07-09T00:20:39.227-05:00Yes there was a time when I was an advid tea drink...Yes there was a time when I was an advid tea drinker. Loose tea mind you not this tea bag stuff of today. I agree these are prettier in the box. Didn't really care for the ones I tried and used them as a dried arrangement instead.

You and Dianne have reminded me, thanks. It is actually pouring here and has been for nearly 24 hours, which just makes it worse. Anyway, We are nearly half way through winter, so it will be uphill from now on I hope. Thanks for being such a friend to me.Vicki Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08756936181545589388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-46363261209023631922014-07-08T22:20:56.952-05:002014-07-08T22:20:56.952-05:00Happy T-Day!

Wonder if maybe it's just that particular one.<br />This is going to be interesting to see how and when I started visiting you.

Luckily, I prefer bland tea--ROFL! They are really fun to slowly watch open. I have a glass teapot that works perfectly for them.<br />Congrats on year one!

Too bad it wasn't good for drinking, and since it took so long to brew, it probably would not have made a decent dye either.<br /><br />I am looking forward to next week!

Can't wait to see everyone's. So glad I found your blog dear friend and can visit with you and the others each Tuesday. Some weeks it seems hard for me to get here but I do try and enjoy them so much. <br /><br />I just linked up too, YAY, got home early from bible study and have to wait till Renee gets off work, so I've been up pretty late 5 nights in a row. My eyes are so tired they are hurting. <br /><br />I loved reading how T day came to be also, so awesome how all these friends helped you. Thanks for sharing that since I didn't know. <br /><br />Have a good night. dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07763553809671436129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-45526782740569852912014-07-07T18:04:37.570-05:002014-07-07T18:04:37.570-05:00Beautiful tea!
