Hey Everybody, there’s a new blogger on board here at AC, and this is her first post – ever – anywhere! Welcome, Carrie Watson, it’s great to have you with us.
Zhena’s Gypsy Tea, one of our favorite purveyors of organic and fair-trade certified teas, recently introduced a collection of extremely rare teas called the Opus Garden.
The ten different tea varietals in the Opus Garden Collection are grown using sustainable harvesting practices that support environmental protection programs. The company says the teas represent the best of a single harvest and are produced in very limited quantity, so limited in fact, the offerings will change throughout the year according to availability. We are especially excited to try the Vietnamese Lotus Green Tea, which was once reserved for the royal family and the wealthy.

It’s embarrassing, but even an independent, macho individual like myself sometimes has to be conveyed through a public place in a pet carrier. Since status in the pack is often determined by the quality of one’s accessories I suggest going with the coolest looking pet carrier you can afford. The classy, designer carrier pictured below is made primarily of vintage, repurposed fabrics and features a wire mesh for air circulation and pet visibility, and a removable padded insert that can be washed if an accident happens.
Speaking of being conveyed…what’s with all those 6 year-old kids you see being wheeled around in baby strollers by their stressed-out moms like they’ve lost the use of their leg?…I’m just asking.
fits up to a 12lb dog or cat – $198 @ myrebe.com
