Experimentation...

I did really well at the last wine fest I attended! The weather was great and I sold out of 2 blends! Here was my table...

I'll be stepping up my display for the next events. I've painted my my cup holder a bright aqua, distressed it and put the bamboo strainers on it. I also painted my plate rack lovely burnt orange color and hung all my stainless infusers and hand-stamped muslin bags from it.

I'm painting a few other display items, as well. My new event table will be colorful and will definitely grab attention!

So... onto the experimentation...

I'm dehydrating these...

fresh lemons...

and these...

fresh Key Limes...
to try some new citrusy blends!

Did you know Key Limes are green inside, but have a yellow peel when ripe?

Stay tuned for the new blends and my May event schedule!

I'll be doing two wine fests and Lois' Cool and Groovy Garden Party! Details to come!

Back to the Winery Tomorrow!

Hopefully the weather will cooperate this week! I'm heading back out to the Florida Estates Winery again tomorrow with my teas and infusers. I've decided to  stick to teas and infusers, no more tea cup orphanage... It was fun and I did sell quite a few, but I want to concentrate on teas and brewing.

I did get some photos of my beaded infusers... I have a plate rack that I hang them on for display.

I also stamped unbleached muslin bags with waterproof ink and beaded the drawstrings to make reuseable tea bags!

I hung these on a cup rack. Pretty cool I think!

Here are some of the designs up close...

I'll be adding more designs and also making reuseable bags from batik fabric.
