Engagement Calendar

For the past two years, we in the Parlor have used a Linda Nelson Stocks engagement calendar to keep track of our engagements (which frankly revolve around visits to various vets). After years of Audubon Society calendars, we decided the Parlor could use a little folkiness in 2010. We enjoyed that calendar so much we decided to revisit an idealized Americana again this year. Well, this week's print of a house and its surrounds includes a wee little table around which are seated three people, and atop of which is a tiny tea set. Too tiny to even attempt to reproduce just this little corner (so as not to break any copyright laws) to share. But it reminds us the joy of tea pops up in unexpected places and is sometimes best enjoyed outside.

We celebrated Fat Tuesday with Numi Chinese Breakfast and a slice of cinnamon pecan coffee cake.
