We put the TEA in Teamwork! Three teahouses, three owners, one purpose: to promote tea-love here in Skagit Valley! We are hatching a plan so stay tuned! Thank you Jenni Belisle for a most scrumptious afternoon tea! @skagitcupoftea @whitebranches @willowbrookmanor

This was the view guests enjoyed as they left Holi

This was the view guests enjoyed as they left Holiday Tea last Saturday. It seemed like nature was whispering ‘peace on earth, good will toward men’. I felt it. And I want to say ‘thank you’ you to everyone who warmed my home with their presence. My heart was especially tender for the husband and wife who come to celebrate their 51st wedding anniversary. Their love and tenderness to each other was palpable. We served them tea in the special music box teapot with silver etching that reads “50th Wedding Anniversary”. It was a beautiful day.

Elette and Bill are Willowbrook regulars. They stopped by this week to drop off custom-made holiday tea towels. Each one is unique. Elette creates these works of art as a way to support outreach efforts for women and children in crisis. If you are looking for hand-crafted gifts this holiday season, message me to see about purchasing some of Elette’s tea towels. ($25each). All proceeds go to Skagit Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Services.

Last October Jenni Belisle, owner @skagitcupoftea

Last October Jenni Belisle, owner @skagitcupoftea ‘My Cup of Tea’ on Fairhaven Ave in Burlington, came to Willowbrook Manor. It felt good to visit with her and brainstorm on how we could collaborate and foster more tea-luv in Skagit Valley. Today she is making my Holiday Tea preparations much easier. Her staff is doing my food prep (so I can finish hanging Christmas lights). I’ve included a few pictures of her charming teahouse. If you have visited My Cup of Tea you can add your pictures to this post! (On Instagram) Click through to the end for instructions. It feels good to share the feel-good nature of having tea, especially at Jenni’s delightful teahouse. #skagitcupoftea #willowbrookmanor

I call them my ‘worker bees’. Cannon and Zach worked hard on a chilly winter day. The orchard was pruned and they were in charge of clean up. These branches are headed out to the burn pile. I’m grateful for all of my Wonderful Willowbrook Workers!

Jim and I went to visit my folks in Kanab Utah this past weekend. It’s always a wonderful getaway with fabulous food (my mom’s love language is cooking) and wonderful company. Jim and I actually did the tourist thing and visited the Moqui Cave. I’ve driven by it hundreds of times over the years but never went inside. Now I can say I’ve been there!
