Nice collection Omegapd, but you better start drinking more green tea!

I ride a little too. The lake-front bicycle pass starts from our building here, it would be a shame to not use it. So we do. My husband loves to bike, so I got into it as well. The ride along the lake Michigan as beautiful. We go to the Birds Sanctuary, to the Zoo, to watch the Air show, so many places. Good stuff!Chip wrote:So, not into R.A.M.?omegapd wrote:We do have something in common though- I ride a bike a lot too. Started about 2 years ago and really enjoy it.

I hate to get off my bike at the end of a ride ... just want to keep on going. I live in a rather hilly/semi mountainous region. A flat ride is virtually impossible. One of my fave rides is to ride up Mt. Penn and ride across Reading's very own Skyline Dr.
Tea ... oh yeah. 4th steep of Lishan in my new cup. Shhhuweeet!

It's an antique & was a gift from hubby. The only downside is it holds 10 cups of tea & I've yet to need that much. I haven't been brave enough to have a tea for more than 4 people.

Thanx for the compliments! I love that little antique server & it's perfect for my teaware. Some of the pieces pictured live in the china cabinet or in the kitchen so it's not regularly as crammed as it looks. My wares range from antique to new & have come from estate sales, antique shops, ebay & gifts.Salsero wrote: Henley, these are just breathtaking. So many fabulous teawarez in so little space just seems WRONG! Where did you get them all?

Hey, those who consume caffeine and smokers both have a lower incidence of Parkinson's Disease. More so the caffeine/coffee drinkers than smokers. Researchers don't know if it is the caffeine/nicotine stimulating the brain to make dopamine or if it has something to do with "pleasure-seeking personalities".Chip wrote: Nice collection Omegapd, but you better start drinking more green tea!
You got a lotta pots! I have the sudden urge to go dig my husband's teapot out of the hutch now. . . I know what you mean. I have a few sewing pieces from a few years back that are just bad. My current project is creating a purse similar to one that my mother saw in the store but didn't want to pay the high price for. It is a simple looking, sling style bag that was done in an Oriental brocade so it looks easy enough to recreate. I already have the material for it and spent this evening measuring and planning a pattern. It took a lot of willpower to not get out the fabrics and start sewing. I knew if I did, I would be up all night until I finished it. which is a bad thing when I have to be up in the morning for work. Good luck with your next project!augie wrote: Cinnamon Kitty I have already started my second project. I unearthed a "Friendship Star" project I started 5 years ago! I am mortified at how bad it looks.
I've got one that love sweet iced tea and thinks she likes it hot, but can never get past sticking her head over the cup and smelling. 
I must admit that I haven't been as motivated to do another. I think the next one will stay safely in this house!

Thoughts?
