Fall means....Tea and Pumpkin everything....but...let's focus on the Tea!

Hey Bookies,

Warm Pre Autumn greetings! As you all know Fall is for Book lovers. But did you know God also created Fall for Tea lovers? Well, as always, around the end of August I start buying Pumpkin everything and getting my Tea Game together. Which is exactly what I did today. My pal Michelle and I met up today to visit the Delmarva Pagan Pride Festival in Downtown Dover. My main objective was to visit a good friends tent to shop her incense (I use them for meditation and prayer) and just to see all the wonderful wares everyone has. I always love to see the fairy art. In fact, last year there were some amazing fairy doors, garden stuff etc. 

However, this was the first year I had seen loose leaf teas and of course I jumped at the chance to buy these. The Sabbat Tea: Litha; contains cinnamon, ginger and pomegranate. It also have apple and rose hips. And can I just tell you it smells heavenly! It's supposed to he a summer tea but it's just perfect for fall evenings and bonfires...I can not wait to taste it while reading a good book. 

The second tea I purchased was Two Faces Bitch! I will admit that I purchased it because of the name. This tea has lavender and honey brush. It smells smoothing and rich. I really can not wait to try it out. If you would like to check out these teas you can find them at

Also, Check out The Enchantdrose on Facebook; that's the shop I purchased it from. Well...til next time...Happy Reading!

Dear Bookish Friend, 

Fall is a fantastic time of year for book lovers; we have more excuses  be hold up in our warm reading nooks with our favorite books. For me fall has a particular fondness because some of my all time favorite books where introduced to me during the autumn months. I became friends with Fern and Wilbur and the gang at Zuckerman's farm when I was 8. I traveled to Narnia shortly there after. At 12; I was just finishing a short visit with my friend Anne as she was held up in the Secret Annex in Amsterdam. At 16; I was learning that I was just another girl interrupted and by my 21st autumn I had been to Japan and experienced the life of a very famous Geisha. Fall has introduced me to some of the best and most beautiful stories I have ever encountered. I hope that as the years pass and the seasons turn that we all continue to carry our favorite stories with us; and that we pass them on to those we love. 

Happy Fall Fellow Word Nerds,

Hugs and Lots of love,

The Bookbabe of Delaware
