This year, we decided to sign up for the Duncan Farmer's Market. Every Saturday from 10 am - 4 pm you will find me at the market with freshly blended teas, teas to sample and, of course, with some of my tea related ceramics. Later on, when our produce is ready we will also be selling that at the market. Can't wait for our fresh greens.
Also, do come by my booth for a cuppa.....
This coming Sunday (May 3rd), we are starting a series of tea tastings at the Artfarm - www.artfarm.ca.

To avoid disappointment, we recommend that you reserve a spot. Call 250 748 3811 for more information. These tea tastings and seminars will run every Sunday throughout the summer.
I am having great fun at stretching my teapot limits these days making anything from cute, little teapots to really large pots. This one is for the serious tea fanatic.
Here is one of the more recent tea sets. Just love creating these little tea families...
In August, I have a teapot exhibit coming up in in Qualicum Beach here on Vancouver Island. This means I have been working on teapots for a while now. It also means I will be doing the same for another while still. I really enjoy making teapots. I find their uniqueness amusing and their functionality attractive.
Here is one of the recent additions -
Last week, just before the beginning of a very busy season, and to celebrate Victor's birthday, we decided to go to Tofino for a little break. It was all very Tofino - windy, gorgeous, sandy, exhilarating and then...... it snowed! If you know Tofino and the West Coast you know how rare this is. It was odd to watch the snow falling on the beach. We enjoyed it, as did the dogs.A few days after we got back to Cowichan,
Spring arrived and we have been enjoying all the early budding. The garlic is out of the ground, peas, spinach and arugula on the way. The daffys are gracing the outside of the studio.
Ahh, does it feel good!
I have just returned full of new ideas and inspiration from a trip to Denmark. I went to visit my family on the island of Fyn. I also had a chance to walk the streets of Copenhagen. The old city core of Copenhagen is as beautiful as ever. Being the tea fanatic that I am, I truly rejoiced in the tea houses of Copenhagen. Some new, some that have been around for close to two centuries. Tante T is one of the more recent additions. In 2008, Tante T was voted best tea house in Copenhagen.
