“Have you not noticed that the wild flowers are becoming scarcer every year? It may be that some wise men have told them to depart till man becomes more human. Perhaps they have migrated to heaven.” ~ Kakuzō Okakura, The Book of Tea ~ I was cleaning my cupboard when I saw a blooming teapod which I was sure had reached its expiration. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a decent glass teacup or kettle. I still tried to check it anyway... found an old magazine to match it and to have a dramatic effect... and hoped it worked great ~ ~
