From Russia With Love
One day, my mother will stop buying tea from EVERY place she travels to, and will simply accept the fact that Kusmi is the best, prettiest, AND conveniently available at her daughter’s shop right up the street. Kusmi is a 150 year old company, originating in the founder’s home in St. Petersburg, now headquartered in a lovely place called Paris. Best know for their Russian blends, natch, they also produce heart-healthy green teas, all flavoured in a myriad of olfactory-pleasing ways. Our faves include Prince Vladimir, Bouquet of Flowers, Lavender and Almond. But feel free to choose your own blend. Right, Mom?

Hello Butta, Hello Fadda
Bauer Pottery is our go-to for classic ceramic pieces. Each stands the test of time, from design, to colour, to function: there’s no arguing with what works. You CAN try to argue, but you’ll probably lose. This butter dish is ribbed, for your pleasure, and comes in orange, black and this handsome parrot green. Made in California, a fine place if you like year-round happiness.
