Free Tea Party

The Free Tea Party (no has nothing to go with the "Tea Party" political group) is a man named Guisepi. He travels around in his made-over in his short school bus serving free tea! How cool is that? He is serving free tea to anyone who wants a cup. His mission statement is "The Free Tea Party cultivates community and encourages dialogue about peace, environment, and health through actions like serving free tea.". The Free Tea Party's goals are "To bring people of all classes and colors, shapes and sizes, political beliefs and philosophies together in order to foster a connection between those who normally would never have connected in conversation. In this way valuable ideas can be shared and a human face can be put on people who one may have never related to before.". His web site has a great links page and it would seam that you just never know where this bus is going to be but I hope to run into them some time! To date this man in his bus has served over 10,000 cups of free tea. That's a love lot of tea! Like I have always believed drinking a hot cup can bring people together this man is proof that it's true. I love this idea and truly inspired. http://www.freeteaparty.org/

The Literary Gothic

It's time to curl up with a cup-a-tea and check out The Literary Gothic. It's a web site dedicated to classical Gothic literature ( one of my favorite genres). With the long weekend at hand take time to peruse it's content and then go down to your local library and get a stack of knowledge. Or do what I do and go down to the book store and blow a ton of money to help save Borders Books. Any who, it's a great site, check it out! (via Cobwebs) The Literary Gothic

Blood,sweat and Tea

Rule # 3, never be late for Tea! You too can make one of the "Late for our Date" tea sets. All one needs is a good white china set and some imagination. Candy of  course is optional, but the blood is compulsory!
