hearts and scones


(No "Books for the weekend" post this week, since I am mostly reading blogs at the moment.)

I received a surprise package on Wednesday. Nestled inside were beautiful little hearts filled with the most delicious tea I have ever tasted...

Thank you Kris!

Oh, I only wish you could smell the heavenly scent as it brews...

I had been wanting to make apple scones for a while, and they were indeed the perfect accompaniment.

The weather has been almost springlike recently, with temperatures above freezing and that certain quality in the sun's light that irresistibly makes me turn my closed eyes skywards.

True spring will not arrive here for many weeks yet, but what harm is there in dreaming?

  1. Ah! Que les blogs aient remplacé les livres en ce moment explique tous ces liens que tu trouves et partages si gentiment avec moi ces temps-ci! :)

    Hmmm, un oolong vanille et orchidée et des scones aux pommes - ça devait effectivement être une fort délicieuse paire!

    Je suis d'accord: ce redoux est fort agréable aussi. Profites-en bien!

    1. Si tu ne connais pas encore ce thé, essaie-le au plus tôt! Il est absolument divin!

      J'espère que tu peux toi aussi profiter du temps doux et du soleil — ça fait tellement de bien...

  2. Je ne l'ai effectivement pas encore essayé. Il était sur ma liste (j'ai beaucoup aimé tous les oolongs que j'ai goûtés jusqu'à maintenant, et comment se tromper avec un thé de ce type parfumé de vanille et d'orchidée?) et, suivant ta recommandation, il vient de monter de quelques coches vers le haut de ladite liste! :)

  3. Woohoo! Oh, what a sweet combination of tea and scones. I've never combined that tea with anything other than my face (hahaha), but I'll one day be as elegant as you. ;) I'm thrilled that you enjoyed it.

    1. Well, that tea doesn't really NEED anything other than one's face! It's truly the most delicious tea I've ever had — thank you again!
