The Heart of Annapolis

There’s this calming feeling when you go back to a place for a second time, especially since it’s been nearly two years since the prior visit.  Bean Rush Cafe has the coziness of Annapolis tucked away in an even more quaint and peaceful part of town, if that’ even possible. My continuously growing history of […]

Autumn In Annapolis 2.0

Time just keeps on moving.  It’s really starting to feel like fall, with a few days feeling bright and sunny.  That sounds like Maryland weather.  That sounds like a return engagement to Annapolis.  Well it’s actually just part two of what I started last week… I wish I could write about Spice & Tea Exchange […]

Autumn In Annapolis

This is where we get to my favorite time of year when talking about teas.   With the iced teas somewhat behind us, it’s time to focus on fall and all the adorable flavors, aromas, spices, and the other glorious entities that come with the change of the seasons. I’ve stated countless times my love for […]

The Fireside Is…

I’ve been away for a little while.   This season has been a little harder to embrace than most.   Eventually sadness was going to take over and just manifest itself throughout the holidays.  And I love the holidays so much. I love Thanksgiving.  I love Christmas.  I love all the celebrations of peace, life, love, family, […]

I Felt Transformed, Transported…

It just didn’t feel right at the time.  Sometimes it just doesn’t.  It didn’t stand out to […]

From The Heart to the Soul

Literally next door, and I mean literally next door, from where I spoke on last week, is another charming and I’ll say it, adorable spot in West Annapolis, Rutabaga Craft Juicery. I had no intentions of writing about this wonderful place, (here is their menu, some eco information, more about them, and their contact info) and […]

Love That Blue!

The Spice & Tea Exchange continues their run of making amazing teas, limited time or not.  I mean you’ve got to be kidding me.  I mean we throw terms around a lot; calling things incredible, legendary, iconic, that we maybe shouldn’t.   Where am I going with this?  I don’t know.   But I would say at […]

Grateful For The Spice & Tea Exchange

Well here we are.  Thanksgiving has passed, and we’re well into this most beautiful of times of year.   And when it comes to tea and beautiful times of tear, that can only mean the fine folks of The Spice & Tea Exchange. The Spice & Tea Exchange go hand in hand with all that is […]
