The return address was from my sister, Kathie. Hmm, Why would she be sending something?
It came at the right time. I had been needing a perk me up. Unexpected fit the bill. It could have been anything and I would have been thrilled.
The contents were something I'd been obsessing over, TEA. Any tea, especially naturally flavored no caffeine tea.
We have this mobile cart with five shelves. I originally bought it to put assorted plastic ware in the pantry. That stuff made the pantry like "Fibber McGees" closet.
The day we received it and assembled it I was making tea. We had a cabinet we stored all our teas in, but every time I went to get tea, it seemed the one I wanted was behind the others.
We keep our teas in deli-salad containers we have washed and labeled. They stack nicely in the cabinet. When I touched them I thought, their length is about the depth of the shelves. Eureka! A place to organized the teas where we can see at a glance and grab the one we want.
A plus; the top shelf was just the size for my everyday teapots, hot pads, and a couple of canisters. (The brown canister contains sassafras roots we dug from our yard.)
On the left it has hooks which I hung our tea tray and one of my grabbers. (These are a necessity when you have back surgery. They are also great for reaching the far back of a cabinet .) The red hanging on the other end is my apron with lots of pockets!
After we choose a tea of our liking and have chosen what pot to use, the cart slides right back into the pantry, "out of sight not out of mind". Take time out for a relaxing cup of tea.
