November Musings and The Perfect Cup of Tea

After a really mild October and early November, the air has finally turned properly cold here in Western Maine. While some folks don’t love the shorter days and approaching winter that November ushers in, personally I think it’s one of the most beautiful months to be in Maine. What November lacks in the Pinterest-Autumn-Aesthetic, it more than makes up for with gentle colors and muted sunlight that gives the most ordinary days a little bit of ethereal beauty.

If you’ve been following along on Instagram, you’ll know that I’ve been trying to install a new wood stove in my sitting room, which has turned into quite the saga. I’m happy to report that it’s finally in, just in time for the first predictions of snow next week. I’m looking forward to some cozy evenings watching the fire and enjoying some tea.

To celebrate the start of the cozy season, I thought it'd be fun to make a printable that embodies my deep and abiding love of being home. The Perfect Cup of Tea is more of a suggestion than a recipe. The most important element is making sure you have the space and time to enjoy it. I’ve shared this printable as a JPEG so it will be easier to resize, if you’d like to add it to any holiday gifts for the tea drinker in your life. I hope you like it!
