"I am beginning to suspect all elaborate and special systems of education. They seem to me to be built upon the supposition that every child is a kind of idiot who must be taught to think. Whereas, if the child is left to himself, he will think more and better, if less showily. Let him go and come freely, let him touch real things and combine his impressions for himself, instead of sitting indoors at a little round table, while a sweet-voiced teacher suggests that he build a stone wall with his wooden blocks, or make a rainbow out of strips of coloured paper, or plant straw trees in bead flower-pots. Such teaching fills the mind with artificial associations that must be got rid of, before the child can develop independent ideas out of actual experience." -- Anne Sullivan

Tea Totes, a total promotion of my goods....

I was inspired by my dear friend's love of tea to create this pretty little tea tote.
It will hold up to 6 bags of your favorite teas.
The fabric is a lovely red, brown and cream, oriental fan and floral pattern.
I enclosed it with a gorgeous brown and gold, sparkly glass bead.
This is a wonderful wallet sized tote to travel out and about with your favorite teas.
It's really nice to ask for just hot water when you're on the go
instead of spending your money on a tea bag.
Bring them to other peoples houses. Share your favorite teas with your friends and family.
These make great gifts, too. I ship them full of my favorite teas.
From my home to yours....Peace, love and tea.~Carie
