Note Cards~

I enjoy jotting notes to friends and, although I do make many of my own, I love finding pretty note cards in gift shops. I am participating in A Haven for Vee's Note Card Party. Party goers are supposed to share four photos previously posted on their blogs that they think would make a nice note card~

I think my set of four note cards would be called  So Many Teas, so Little Time~

Which to sample first?

                                                  

                             To market, to market...

                                                      Shall I be 'Mother'?

One for me and one for a friend~

Have you tried loose tea? Do you only buy teabags because you do not have the experience or equipment to drink loose tea? You are missing out on a wonderful teatime! How does powdered orange drink compare to fresh squeezed juice? What do you think of freeze dried coffee compared to fresh roasted and ground? How about instant Cup O' Noodles versus mom's home made chicken noodle soup? All you need is some type of reusable or disposable filter, strainer or infuser, a timer and some loose tea!

I guarantee it is easy as 1, 2, 3!

1. Put tea into the infuser, place in pot or cup
2. Pour 'just brought to the boil' water over the tea*
3. Steep tea for 3-5 minutes (package directions) 

*If you are drinking green or oolong tea, water needs to be a bit cooler. If you use a roiling boil for black teas, the water will be de-oxygenized and flat .

What are some of your favorite note card themes? Off the top of my head, I'd love note cards with gardens, front doors, fences, bird houses, staircases, cloches, baked goods, knitting, bicycles, gates, candles, stepping stones, rivers, trees, purses, fountains...gee, there are probably dozens of wonderful subjects!
