(Is anybody out there?) No matter, I can let you in on a little secret that it has to be a high percentage of bloggers out there that mainly blog, um, just to hear (see) themselves think. It's thearaputic. And therapy is a good thing, so carry on all my fellow disenfranchised and/or disillusioned blogger-mates!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Anyhow, back to the subject of neglecting blogs. Plural. I have more than one. But the point is (and you will hear me say it here for the first, and maybe the only time) that it seems that I may have spread myself too thin. Indeed. And blogging is an easy casualty.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">The Sugar Tree Cafe itself has melded into the Sugar Tree Cottage, which I'm more inclined to throw out a line or two about on facebook... and even that form of social media I do not give the amount of attention I belive is probably expected of me.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">I have meant well, I assure you. Blogs and free websites (and a few paid one's too) track my interests, personal and professional, designed to keep folks who may be interested informed.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">However, for me, much like for most people over the age of three on planet earth today, the last couple of years have been long ones. Not all bad I must absolutely say... some of my most treasured experiances have happened during this time.. but long, and thought provoking. Priorities realized. So, I am going to continue to neglect some blogs (and a few free as well as paid websites, and one or two extra facebook pages, and facebook groups...) and concentrate more just on my current favorite project: Olive Street. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">That project, dear blog reader, lucky you, actually happens to be indeed related to the old Sugar Tree Cafe turned Sugar Tree Cottage... which is on Olive Street. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">So you can find me here: <a href="https://onolivestreet.blogspot.com/">https://onolivestreet.blogspot.com/</a></span></p><p> </p>Dawnella Suttonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08691952640259142626noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1702263646447368532.post-70265676197336012882021-09-26T11:12:00.000-04:002021-09-26T11:12:15.613-04:00Hayden Brook after the rain<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dwl4YhE5VtBFPiYgEMMBQrvie_1juNxba4nhp9tS6D8iSWaYmEQNXV7AeXZUqjz8sBIggBJEHwJ68h4R-_E8w' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><br /> <p></p>Dawnella Suttonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08691952640259142626noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1702263646447368532.post-87315302906987865742020-06-04T18:07:00.008-04:002023-01-23T18:17:12.030-05:00best chocolate ever<div class="separator"><a href="https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=1726006&u=133864&m=107545&urllink=&afftrack=" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://static.shareasale.com/image/107545/IMG_72162_900x.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p>Really.

<span style="color: #1c1e21; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Folks who are new to loose leaf tea sometimes wonder if there really is a difference between the grocery store tea bags and loose leaf tea. And yes, there </span><span style="color: #1c1e21; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">absolutely is! A fellow tea consultant helped to show this comparison. </span><br />
<span style="color: #1c1e21; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #1c1e21; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">At the top of the plate you see the contents of a bagged tea purchased at the grocery store, and at the bottom beneath is the Tealightful Earl Grey loose tea.</span><br />
<br style="color: #1c1e21; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" />
<span style="color: #1c1e21; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Note how tiny the particles are from the tea bag. What you are getting in these are "fannings" or tea dust, what is left over from the full tea leaf. </span><br />
<br style="color: #1c1e21; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" />
<span style="color: #1c1e21; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Now look at the Tealightful Earl Grey. That’s how tea should be. We know you can taste the difference, but wanted to show what really is in that tea bag</span>Dawnella Suttonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08691952640259142626noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1702263646447368532.post-77571599331250507502019-08-17T22:30:00.001-04:002020-11-08T10:30:55.474-05:00tea garden studio<div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_WmEwvO5AMGGsBfEyIcV4P5dyWMumPVbpCTE7spOc807qWvYTRQRb0DCNjDQOg8ZqB0BiEi0y7iMS73sK5CNIup7U4kxz8t10jfHPzLuUWyKADpoKr4P9PA8QLeylR_YKZtwT2lTFBE4/s750/teagardenlonglavenderclean.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="194" data-original-width="750" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_WmEwvO5AMGGsBfEyIcV4P5dyWMumPVbpCTE7spOc807qWvYTRQRb0DCNjDQOg8ZqB0BiEi0y7iMS73sK5CNIup7U4kxz8t10jfHPzLuUWyKADpoKr4P9PA8QLeylR_YKZtwT2lTFBE4/s320/teagardenlonglavenderclean.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div><span face="Trebuchet MS, sans-serif">A new place coming soon.</span></div><div><a href="https://teagardenstudio.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><span face="Trebuchet MS, sans-serif">tea garden studio</span></a></div>Dawnella Suttonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08691952640259142626noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1702263646447368532.post-19801582887681148652019-07-30T15:00:00.000-04:002020-01-05T11:30:09.735-05:00Kneading Conference Artisan Bread Fair<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">September in Maine: Cooler weather, warm tea, richer flavors... it's my favorite time of year for tea!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Spiced tea is good in any season (think chai!) but let's face it, when the cooler winds blow, the leaves start to fall, frost on the pumpkin, we wrap ourselves in our favorite sweaters and settle down with cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and allspice in our cups. These spices are comforting.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Have comfort. </span><br />
