The Stillroom

The Black Cask Bourbon tea is really strong!  I got tipsy just bagging it for samples!  I do not care for the heavy scent of bourbon but I think anyone that enjoys this particular libation should pretty much like this tea.  I rolled the dice on this but I was intrigued by it and had to get it for the shop.

The Matcha Tea kits did so well last year I brought them back again.  It is a complete kit and it is Delish!

The new expanded flavors of Harney & Sons loose teas are located in the back-right corner of Diamond Antiques along with tea accessories and so much more!

Wether you are sipping tea or enjoying a favorite libation, you must visit the ever growing pantry- themed section of the shop.

Tea, honey sticks, sugar sticks, tiny jams and marmalade jars are nice for just a taste and are perfect in a in a gift basket.

The Flavigny candies (not pictured) while expensive, are dear to me just because the history of this fine confection is so cool.  These are blooming with the flavors of spring!  Orange blossom, violet, rose and mint and the tins are so pretty.  The candies last long because you can’t bite these or you will break your teeth!   Flavigny are meant to be savored until you hit the breath freshening anise seed in the center.

As always, the shop has the violet breath mints.  Ahhh, spring.

In this space you will find wine glasses, kitchen wares, rag rugs, collectible smalls and the list goes on.

Tea and useful dry goods can found in the most hidden places. 🙂 I love this spot inside of Diamond Antiques & Gifts!

The Stillroom is still kickin’ the tea game.  I don’t know why this surprises me but it does and I am happy to oblige.

Oh, and the catnip pillows are sold out 🙀 I’m sorry.

Your know what Birdie and I will be doing today🧵🪡

P.S.

Help the people of Ukraine and please keep them in mind as you move through your day.

I saw an interview yesterday with Bethenny Frankel and she’s doing a kick -ass fund raiser for these poor people.  I’m going to check it so I can make a donation.  This shit is so heart-wrenching.  The interview was really impressive.  I am not a fan of her on any level but she seems to know how to organize fund raisers for catastrophic events. She’s smart.

I’m signing off now so I can check this out and do what I can no matter how small.

There is no amount of tea or lavender or chamomile in the whole wide world that can help any of us feel good about the outcome here.
