Kitchen Helper

Candleholder With Big Eyes, 6 x 6 " oil on Gessobord panel, ©2013, Fay Terry

$100

Stormy weather has caused us to lose power on several occasions recently. It's a good thing we have this cute little owl in the kitchen ready to light up when we are suddenly plunged into darkness. When he's not busy spreading light, this little owl just looks cute on the table.

We have a severe thunderstorm watch and flash flood warnings right now so he may be called into service. I hope your week-end has been less rainy than ours.

Afternoon Tea

I received a tin of tea for Christmas that came from Charleston Tea Plantation and it is really good.  The tea is grown on Wadmalaw Island off the coast of South Carolina. I have a little teapot that I purchased in a shop in Beijing and it has a little clay insert for loose tea leaves.  Next, I decided that there must be a reason these little candles are called tea lights so I made things festive by lighting it.
