Ok, nap time for real now. Closing the phone and putting it on yo charge as it’s at about 6% on the battery. Oops!

I blame (ok, thank) @courtneymilan.com ‘s weekly newsletter for getting the ball rolling in my new obsession. Reading her notes on the various teas she has tried tugged at my ridiculously strong sense of curiosity, & I started reading.

And that was that. Only growing more curious the more I read.

Will I eventually end up with a tea stash to rival my yarn stash? Doubtful on a SSDI budget. But I can treat myself to maybe an ounce or two of some new teas every so often if I budget for them.

There are just SO MANY that sound so good and this is like quicksand, this new world. Sucks you in!

They would be wholly inside emeralds, so no threat of predators should they escape outside.

Thank you for your attention to this PSA.

Moar emeralds! ALL the emeralds! GIVE THEM TO MEEEEE!!!

*ahem* I dig the look here. Too dazzled by the reflection off the bling to notice much else. A good peasants reaction, and most likely what she was going for. No?

I freaking love that tiara. The emeralds. 😍 But it definitely looked better on Eugenie.

I live for your alt text in these pics. Heh.

Just for clarification, when you talk about it:

Gävle is pronounced "Yeah-vleh", not gav-la, gev-lee or gea-vley.
