I've been busy, busy, busy! With three websites and an Etsy shop that needs stocking I've needed to make a conscious effort to take a few moments each day of just pure relaxation time. Enter my tea ritual! Every day during my son's nap, rather than rush off to work, work, work like usual, I sit down and have a cup of tea and write in a journal or do nothing at all.
I recently got this lovely little "Savor" tea bag holder from Etsy seller wabisabipottery and I adore it. She has a great shop with tiny dishes that would make great affordable gifts. There is something so simple and sweet about her work.
I also got this adorable wee house dish from the same shop to hold my rings while I beeswax my wooden figures. My rings used to get all gummed up with beeswax, but now I have a designated spot for them and actually remember to take them off. This little dish also serves as a reminder to slow down and enjoy the process, something that gets harder to do as the holiday rush approaches us.
Speaking of holidays...next Etsy shop stocking will be Wednesday the 19th, 11:30AM Pacific! I'm going to try out scheduled stockings for a spell and stick with Wednesdays and see how it goes.
