Blooming Tea and Joy List Monday


My friend gave me Blooming Tea as a gift. It comes as this pod.
The pod will become a blooming flower.
The flower is usually consisted of green tea buds, jasmine, chrysanthemum, amaranth, osmanthus and lily.


 The pod.



 It is starting to bloom.



 Flower Basket, that was the name of my tea.
Yes, it does look like a flower basket.




Joy List Monday
♥ a weekly ritual ♥
 a reminder to stop and pay attention to the little beauties and graces 
that make life magical and to set aside time for gratitude each day

 ♥ fresh sheets on our bed .. we had lovely sun I was able to hang our sheets out on the line 

 ♥ dad and son time .. our youngest was able to spend the day helping my husband with a project

♥ almost done reading The Boys in the Boat .. the same friend who gave me the blooming tea recommended the book. 

♥ attending an event with my family and my mom won a BIG prize of the night
 ♥ making a new dessert with raspberries we froze from our garden this past summer .. a taste of summer in March

  1. That tea pod is so different. Sheets on the line, that is really awesome. I've never done that and really don't remember what it was like as a child. Congrats to your mom. Fresh frozen raspberries....now that's a treat!

  4. Love all your joy lists today. I love this tea pod. I will have to google it to see where you can get that. I love tea and I also have a good friend that loves tea. This would make a sweet little gift to give. Yum that you can make a nice desert with your garden raspberries. Enjoy.

  8. This is beautiful! I wonder how they do this, and are able to retain the color and shape? It is a mystery to me. What did you win? Sounds like you are starting March off with a wonderful bang!
