Sun Tea with Mariage Freres

It was hot last week and I made sun tea with Mariage Freres Marco Polo tea that I got at Watson Kennedy. (Small sidenote, Watson Kennedy is my all time favorite store anywhere, ever, and for all time. Many more posts to come on Watson Kennedy.) I put a small handful of tea into big glass jar full of cold, fresh water.

Then I added some rosebuds and half an orange peel for some color. It was a hot day and it only took an hour or two to steep.

I had fun shaking it up like a big summer snow globe. Then I chilled it and added Santa Cruz Strawberry Honey Lemonade and/or fizzy water to suit my mood. Delicious and Refreshing.

Saw it on The Street

Here's some fun summer shoes we've seen crossing the floors of Passionflower. Our customers are kind enough to let us share these photos with you. Stay tuned for more Passion Fashion.

Happy Feet - Summer Sandals

Lindsey was so taken with these sandals from Urban Outfitters, she ordered herself a pair.

Passion Fashion - Summer Shoes

The zipper down the back is a nice touch. For some unkown reason it makes me think of Helen of Troy. Pretty sure the Greeks and the Trojans didn't have zippers in their clothing repertoire.

The Inner World of Terrariums

Tina made this terrarium - I want to spend some time there.

Zippy Little Boutonnieres

Lindsey is having some fun. And making just the right amount of mess for the project at hand.

Wild Child Wedding

More inspired work from the floral department. Every bride is different. Weddings are a joyous event and the flowers ought to make it more so. Maidenhair fern, moss, and blueberries make this a particularly "Northwest" kind of wedding
