This is a season of abundance and grace. We are reminded to give thanks, to celebrate the bounty of our tables, the blessings of warmth and home and security, and to celebrate the great gifts of being present in this big and beautiful world alongside the humans (and animals) that we love so dearly. Every year we partake in a wonderful, simple Thanksgiving ritual: we name the things for which we are truly grateful. Every time, this list always comes down not to things but to people.
Gather your bunnies, break out the scones, and put the kettle on, it's time for a TEA PARTY!

When the wind begins to bluster, the windowpanes awake silvered with frost, and the blazing gilded light of sundown mellows into the blue-gray of twilight just a tad earlier and earlier little by little until BAM all of a sudden IT'S STONE COLD DARK AT 4:30... This, dear ones, is just the time that we can reliably expect an onset of the crud.
We're not sure when the misinformation campaign against linen started but we're here to set the record straight. Linen is not fussy or high maintenance. It is not hard to care for or difficult to clean.
