"iDollATea" teableau for 04/26/25

These real linens are from an old upholsterer's sample book. It was an undertaking to get the very long iron staples out of the binding, and a real chore to remove the gluey- tape that further attached the fabric pages. Worth it, though.

Tea tableau in pale colors featuring a small bisque doll in a pinafore and bonnet holding a puppy on her lap. She is about to partake of tea from a tiny tea set. She is ensconced on and in front of beautiful embroidered linen fabrics. The tea is English Afternoon black loose-leaf.

"Morning Song" teableau for 04/23/25

Because the dark must always end.

Simple tea tableau with vintage china covered in a design of tiny bouquets of roses, violets, Forget-Me-Nots, and pansies, with a matching napkin. The cup and saucer sit in the middle of a wreath of appliqued tulips on a white cloth. There is a yellow ceramic bird raising its beak in song. The small teapot is light green with yellow handles and spout and orange knob and turquoise feet; it is covered in delicate black text in various fonts using words that end with t, e, a, as puns such as affinitea, hospitalitea, generositea, creativitea, prosperitea, and so on. The tea today is Tippy Yunnan black loose leaf from Harney and Sons.

"Now Rise" teableau for 04/19/15

How can one be comfortable
When others have no joy?
Prepare, then, to rise up,
And all one's gifts
Employ,
To free, to restore,
To be,
For Justice,
An envoy.

Tea tableau in white, red, and dark maroon, with a bird poised to fly from its nest and an embroidered backdrop of a floral bouquet appearing to float upward above it. There is vintage china, a dark red teapot, and Apple Hojicha tea

I rigged up this one at my volunteer gig today using borrowed treasures.

"Play Date" teableau for 04/03/25

I had to get my mind off things. Here's a teableau of puppies playing in the parlor.

In front of the chair are two porcelain tan terriers bowing playfully at each other. The tea is Cardamom black loose leaf tea from Sadif.

I'm still working on today's teapot #15, but earlier today ((( THIS ))) came out of the kiln!!!

A collector came to claim it before i even had a chance to get a good photo, but I did get a chance to make this sloppy stop motion, while their 3 year old was crawling all over me! Parents are such amazing people!!!
