For my birthday last month, mom took me to lunch at Gertrude’s in Old Colorado City.

They have good food and the art work on the walls is for sale.

Hello! This lavender sunset 9×12 acrylic on canvas board is for sale on my Etsy site. A great way to perk up that bare wall or office.

Goodbye, Tasha
Posted by Melissa at 10:00 pm in Art, Tea, Writing

I am sad to tell you, Tasha Tudor has passed away. If you do not know who she is, please take a moment to visit her website, or her memorial website. Among other things, she recently auctioned off a large collection of antique dresses she used to let her friends try on, to their great delight, and I’m sure hers. Tasha was a gifted illustrator, grew her own food, had a small farm, hand dipped her own beez wax candles and always had afternoon tea at 4:00p.m. every day.

My Visit to the Denver Art Museum

The art museum is partially responsible for redeeming Denver. Art and a strong pot of tea can help a gal get over almost any trauma if it’s not too severe.

Better than 4 wheel drive. I need this. Seriously. It even has compartments so that if you get tired and hungry on your way home from work, you can just ease it on over to the side of the road and make a snack and take a nap. I’d take this over and suv ANY day of the week!

I’m looking for these to try the next time I enjoy my green or oolong tea. These are consumed during tea ceremonies instead of putting sugar in your tea.

I thought I’d share some of my Flicker Favs while I’m waiting for Tech Hubby to grill the steaks. If you click on the links below the pictures, they will take you to the rest of this persons photo stream.
