It’s Tuesday (and teapot-less, despite the bajillion teapots and tea cups and tea cozies done up in Morris prints). Also, International Fragrance Day, World Vermouth Day, the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, World Poetry Day and the International Day of Forests. What fragrance are you wearing?
My tea this morning is Numi Chinese Breakfast mixed with Upton Christmas Tea, and in my imagination I’m drinking it in the library at Kelmscott (below), while leafing through one of the many books Morris decorated (above). The perfect scent for such an undertaking seemed to be Paul Smith Story. Mine is no longer in great shape and I ought to toss it, but it’s one of my favorite bottles. Meanwhile, I’m wearing a single spritz and I might top it off with another vetiver after a bit.
Reminder: 3/24 is William Morris’ birthday…
