Flower Sugar Heaven. After a very trying tea tragedy this morning, I was very happy, no more like ecstatic, to see this box on my porch!!
It's not on my porch in the picture. I was way too excited and didn't remember pictures until I saw how prettily Sharon had wrapped some of the piles...
then I ran and got the camera. 
I am loving this white one way more than the last white from Flower Sugar, and I liked that one a lot lol!
Is this gorgeous stuff or what? Zip over to Daisy Cottage quick quick if you want to stockpile your own supply of this loveliness! She's a super speedy shipper too!!
Also in the box of adorable awesomeness: Holiday Happy by Monica from Happy Zombie--Love this stuff too.
Thank you Sharon!!!So the tea tragedy...you may want to just go on to your next blog and stop reading here lol!
So my latest obsession is tea.
It started at my local Teavana store and has grown to include many online tea shops. Look at this box(es) of 31 samples from Golden Moon for 19.99.
Anyways, one of my very favorite teas is Jasmine Dragon Phoenix Pearls. They are little hand rolled green tea leaves with a jasmine flower tied around each one, cute aren't they?
Very yummy, but the flavor is delicate- so great care must be taken to only store them in a tin that has only ever held Jasmine Pearls. Well this morning I stumbled out to the kitchen and pulled down a tin of My Morning Mate and scooped it out into my measuring bowl, then I decided to mix it with some Chai Mate so I dumped it back in it's tin....only it wasn't. I looked in and thought there were a bunch of little chocolate chips in there...so I started to mix them in better...then I got a whiff of Jasmine....oh CRAP---I somehow dumped my extremely strong smelling Mate
into my delicately flavored Jasmine Pearls, about 40.00 worth of Dragon Pearls. These babies aren't cheap.
I spent my morning with various sized strainers and sieves and separated as much as possible that way and then painstakingly picked out every little pearl by hand. Who knew that reading glasses were an essential piece of tea brewing equipment??? One more little tea fact for those of you who stuck with me this long...it makes you lose weight...especially the Oolong and the Pu-erh. I've lost 15 pounds in about a month just drinking yummy tea :) O.k. I gotta go get dressed, I'm leaving in about an hour for a 3-day conference at UCSD with my church.Happy 4th of July!!!!

I adore tea too. I feel your pain, truly. But those yummy fabrics would have made almost any tea tragedy a thing of the past!
Hmmm...now I want tea lol.
Yummy, yummy fabrics. I'm anxious to see what they turn into. Sorry about your tea tragedy. What a bummer!
Happy 4th of July!
You are too funny. You know I love the fabric. But......I'm needing me some of that tea. I too would like to lose 15 pounds. Which one do I get??
I can see why you are in heaven. The fabrics are fabulous!!!
Oh, my goodness....to die for, is right!!! Love every little one of them. I was laughing the other day as I have an entire shelf in my kitchen dedicated to tea, I am only now just getting into the loose. Which tea do I get to lose 15 lbs? I desperately need it....lol Can't wait to see what you do with the fabric.
15 pounds lost drinking tea!! Wow!! You just turned me into a tea granny!! ;o)
Take care and Happy 4th of July!!

Oh yeah, give details on the weight loss teas!! I could use a jump start on my weight loss. I drink Chai almost every day so switching to some tea that would help me lose weight would be easy enough. Sorry about your tea tragedy but the fabric shore is purdy!
That fabric is GORGEOUS! Enjoy playing with it while you recover from the tea trauma :)
Oh your fabric is just yummy! Can't wait to see what you do with it. I'm so sorry about your tea tragedy...15 pounds lost drinking tea...wowser, what do I need to order? That's amazing.
I am not a tea or coffee drinker but your tea obsession sounds interesting.
You do like those Sugar fabrics. You certainly have a style when it comes to picking fabric.
REALLY??? It makes you lose weight??? ;-) You MUST share all of your secrets!!!
The fabric is gorgeous. I REALLY want to get some, but I just keep buying and buying and I need to DO something with it all -- it's ridiculous!!!
Yes, gorgeous packages there! Do tell...about the tea! I have been struggling...do tell!
Love, love, love these fabrics!
I'm not much of a tea drinker (I do love it, just don't drink it that much), but if I could lose 15 pounds in a month I would give up coffee and diet coke!!!
No wonder you were in heaven... fantastic and absolutely gorgeous fabrics....
Hope your neck and shoulders have been better... take care and rest while dreaming about projects with these lovely fabrics in mind...
And ENJOY your wonderful tea.. have tasted almost the same kind and it is good stuff!! :o)
Those fabrics are just so yummy, I ordered some from Sharon as well. It's all cut up and a Schnibbles quilt is on it's way.
GORGEOUS fabrics, wow!
