29th February 2008 24 hour Tea or Coffee break 2008
A pack of 80 tea bags costs £1.79, yet an Indian tea farmer earns only 15p . The 24 Hour Tea and Coffee Break is held during Fair Trade Fortnight and highlights the plight of poor farmers throughout the world.

You can also ask your server at your restaurant or your grocery store for ETP teas or fair trade teas and coffees. These come from tea and coffee estates that are monitored for the care of the workers and good prices for the farmers.

I had a dream last night that I was touring a house that was for sale at the end of our street. Everything about it was what I would have wanted;bright and airy, built in hutches, wall length/height windows with filmy sheer curtain, and antiques and elegant furniture galore. There was one problem though. Everything was either solid pink or accented in pink. I love the color pink, but this was a garish pink. The walls were pink with white trim, the hutch was pink with white trim, the tables were white inlaid with pink scroll work. The best thing that was pink? The dinning room table was set in pink jasper ware. I wanted to scoop it all up and run out the door.

In the end, our friends in the dream who were showing us the house ended up buying it.

Blue jasper ware. Two glasses and a vase way in back, or maybe it’s the vessel for whatever is to be poured into the glasses.
