Mad Tea will Rock You!
Happy Friday the 13th
Autumn has come to Orange Moon Downs
You know autumn is just around the corner when you drive down the road and hit a pumpkin paradise or walk into the dollar store and get overwhelmed with Halloween goodness. And if that doesn’t clue you into it, having strange creatures suddenly appear in your green places will do it. We’re not sure what these critters are. We’ll check with Mab and see if these little guys escaped the greenhouse!
Autumn is coming!
The Evil Gnomes are Everywhere!
The gnomes are just getting angrier it seems. For our regular visitors, you might remember that a skating rink floor hidden gnome brought down our Wormwood Queen when she was roller-skating with her young son many moons ago. Poor Kate had to have surgery on her ankle to repair the damage and spent many months recuperating and having to keep still; not something our busy busy tea-maker is interested in. Now it appears another crafty gnome living in a flight of stairs to the attic brought down our Miss Blue. Bethalynne took a tumble from the top of the stairs through the closed door at the body and buggered her poor head and body up pretty bad. As she stares down a schedule of orbital surgery for her face and much healing, she will not be online for awhile. Her eyes will need plenty of rest. So while our tales may have a short break while she gets better, the tea is still flowing and the blog is still updating. I hope you join us in sending her positive vibes.
The Blue Girls
Pixie-o-Gram
So Miss Moxie Mox cloth doll and her companion Hooter Todd are off to their new home today. The real Miss Moxie Mox and her tiny hooting companion have been staying with us for five months now. She was originally found living in a window garden in Chicago. She needed a little more room and found her way here. Now that she’s all back to perky and sassy self, she’s considering going back and finding a nice floral shop to call home for a bit and see if she can find any of her kin in need. Mab is going to miss doll and pixie alike.
The Art of Tea Leaf Reading
Our society’s own Wormwood Queen has put her first book out on the art of tea leaf reading! Tea and Tasseomancy: A Guide to Reading Tea Leaves: “A fun book teaching a centuries old tradition. Use the guidelines set forth to gain confidence and open your intuition. A perfect excuse to relax and sip a cup of tea while reading. Then try your hand at creating your own tea blends by experimenting with the recipes included.” Ready to try your hand at the art of reading tea leaves?
