What a fantastic weekend of fun, tea, and friendship. We couldn't have asked for better weather with rain storms on Thursday and again on Sunday. And now it's time to share your giant teacup photos! And if you don't have a teacup photo, just tell us how far you traveled to attend the Pennsylvania Tea Festival this year. Shout out to Mary Ellen, our festival photographer shown here in front of the lens!

This week is all about getting ready for the PA Tea Festival at the Rosemary House in Mechanicsburg. I'll have plenty of tea, mulling spices and a great selection of tea ware. Moldavian Balm and Leaf Your Toxins Behind will be in the sample jars. I'll be in my usual spot next to Passiondale 🐦 Sharon Emery ! Come out for 2 days of speakers and great vendors.
Sunday I'll be back at the Glen Rock Makers and Farmers Market, 10am-2pm. I'll be bringing lots of produce, tea, and tea ware. Its always a good time with lots of awesome vendors.
