Home most definitely is a cup of tea at my cottage. Your art and words are delightful!

There's nothing in the world a cup of tea can't make better :) I'm rather partial to a cup of Earl Grey, although smoky Lapsang Souchong (always loose leaf) is also a favourite. Although I live in England, the first time I ever saw a tea chest was in Florida - Disneyland in fact. I chose Orange Pekoe on that day, but couldn't work out why it didn't actually taste of oranges (doh.) Thank you for sharing your beautiful story and illustrations and for giving me pause for thought in my day.

Everything about Dandelion Seeds delights me, Candance. I am feeling that it is a special nod from the universe that I was tempted, and chose to look at your lovely site. Right now I am reading everything here that is available to me. Thank you for sharing yourself with the world in this delightful way. It has instantly become important for me to read Dandelion Seeds each morning.

Hello Candace, I have never read a more lovely story of tea online than yours. I have always loved tea (having grown up in HK and U.K.)! Also, I love and admire writers who are artists. I wrote about them on Medium (https://medium.com/@marianneo/writers-who-are-artists-delight-us-with-their-visual-arts-and-illustrations-3081b0f77bb9). I wish I could add you there :-)
