Afternoon tea

Tea time is so much better with this charming tea infuser and this elegant caddy from Bellocq. Today I'm sipping No. 45, White Wolf - a delightful blend of organic white peony, cedar, juniper, and mint. Satsumas and cookies baked by mom complete the scene.


The embarrassingly sloppy behind the scenes. I'm too short for this shit. Yes, I had to drag in a step ladder.

  1. Love this style of set shots; great feel.

    Also like the use of your monitor to supplement the ambient. And no shame in using a ladder; better/safer than trying to stand on the desk :)

  2. Love it- the scene and the flavors! I've been wanting one of those stainless steel pots so badly. Great to see the behind the scenes shot too. :)

  3. Alice, thank you for leaving such a lovely comment on my blog. It's people like you that continually motivate me to write even when I feel like packing it in. I'm completely blown away by your photographs. They're absolutely incredible! Likewise, I'm going to be spending the next few days going through your archive. I'm just in awe!
