sighs of blissful bathing in memories... tea times. what's not to love? scones, handpainted porcelain your mother gave to you and then gets a heartattack whenever she accidentally sees it in your home because she misses it so much in her own home, pretty tea selections, rose buds, extra bergamot flavored kandis sugar (yes! it's a winner!), steaming tea, flowers, good company. it mus be like that in heaven, tea times all the time. a 'tea around the clock', so to say. minus the clingy-to-porcelain mom, maybe (you know i love you mom).
scones recipe here. honestly, i think i got so quick and skillful at scones, i could probably do it the minute i get up after a sleepless and/or hungover excessive night, with the eye patch(es) still on and one hand on my back. okay, i'm awfully show-offy today. but hey, if you've got scones skills like that, then you are officially allowed to boast.
isn't olivia such a nice name? i kinda think my daughter might be called olivia. my imaginary well dressed toddler daughter, by the way (it's so hilarious, check it out, you must! thank you).
on with the merry tea drinking! we drink tea and/or we call our moms, it's how we work, right?
What beautiful pictures...
ReplyDeleteElegance, silence, scent of tea and flowers.
Everything looks so delicate and precious.
Love it.
Warmest Regards from Italy,

Deleteisch guet! toitoi und liebi grüess us züri...!!
Hello Scarlett! I posted a comment earlier this morning, but it seems not to have gotten through, so I am trying again. I wanted to let you know I am a biiiig fan of yours! I have been following your blog for a while and also on fb and ig (hhiiihii...hope this doesn't sound too creepy! ;-) And this post is so beautiful, I had to finally write you and make you a big compliment! I am a big tea fan myself and in the US I have discovered a nice brand that makes great tea, Teavana. I am actually from Zurich too, but I moved to Miami over a year ago, for work and love ;-) So I do really miss Zurich here and the cozy tea weather is offers.. :-) And too bad I did only come across your blog a few months ago when my friend, a fellow blogger (peeledonion) recommended it to me.
ReplyDeleteAnyways, congrats again on this most beautiful, stylish and classy blog - you are one of my idols in the blogger world out there! And maybe on one of my next visits I can visit one of your Supperclubs! tschuess und alles gueti!

Deletei might or might not have jumped and danced around the living room when i read your comment, like, maybe last night at 10 past 1 (am) *smile*. and i might or might not have contacted and texted you on facebook, but, i mean, it's just a theory, obviously.
what i do know is: i LOVE your blog and i kinda have a crush on you, like, major! and to know that you are from züri... simply beats it! and thanks to peeledonion for hooking us up, right? haha.
keep in touch, promise?
best from züri. let me know when you're here so we can make dinner plans!!!
xx

Woohoooo!! ;-) In fact, I saw your lovely note in one of my posts!! And it made me probably react in a very similar way, just, well, ähem, I was in the office, so I think my feet very happily and quietly dancing under the table! ;-))) But then I just saw this note as well, wow!! ;-) I am so super happy you liked it, you know, this means super a lot to me!!! Thank you, Thank you!!!
ReplyDeleteI will let peeledonion know she is the best match-maker ;-) And yes, promised, we have to stay in touch please!! ;-) I will absolutely let you know when I am back in lovely Züri for a visit, then we definitely have to make dinner plans.
big hug from Miami, Sylvia
hihi, yes, yes i think i probably made the first move, then. haha, i'm prouuuud! well done, me. hihi. so good we've found each other! AND we have mutual friends, too. so fun! can't wait to meet you. until then, i think i'm just drooling over your food and read every bit you post twice. haha.
Deletei'm off to amsterdam tomorrow!!! for a food styling workshop. i can't wait!
big hug to miami (still: jealous about that...)
scarlett
