Fall Romance

Fall is almost here (for this side of the hemesphere) and I can't wait!  This time of year always finds me in the mood for a nice cup of tea, a good book, and maybe an art project or two... and this season I'm really falling for little romantic elements to kick things up a notch or two.

I need your help... leave a comment with your favorite tea and an excellent book recommendation, and I'll love you forever!  : )

Ohhhh....boy! Those rings have my heart racing, racing I tell you! :)Ok, I am not that exciting on the tea front but, my favorite is Earl Grey with milk and sugar. And I DO have a great book recommendation! Twilight by Stephanie Meyers(It is in the teen section but, don't let that fool you) :)xoxoMelissawonderful,wonderful picks hun! :)

yum. I love those shoes. I need a pair. Now.

I'm currently reading Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. It's seriously one of the best books I've read in a long time. I don't know of any unique tea blends.. but I'm currently a sucker for some green tea right now.

[Clementine]

Oooh, I have recommendations! :)Two teas: Green Tea Tropical and Chamomile Citrus from Mighty Leaf

book: The Thing Itself: On the Search for Authenticity by Richard Todd. Don't let the subtitle fool you, this is a charming, funny look at the things we valuehttp://www.amazon.com/Thing-Itself-Richard-Todd/dp/1594488517/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1219449575&sr=1-1

love the bow belt!

my all time favorite tea is jasmine. the fragrance alone makes me happy. the last book i read that i could not put down was "comfort me with apples" by ruth reichel. what an exciting life that woman has led!

Love the Gocco journals (Thank you, Ez!). ;)

{ Tea } My favorite is plain ol' Lipton Orange Pekoe (with a dollop of clover honey and splash of milk, UK style).

{ Top 3 Books }1. The Time Traveler's Wife, by Audrey Niffennegger2. Middlesex, by Jeffrey Eugenides3. The Joy Luck Club, by Amy Tan

Let me know if you read any of these!<3,Angeline

[flowerpress]

A book a lot of my friends and I have enjoyed recently is 'The Time Traveller's Wife' by Audrey Niffenegger (sp?). As for tea I'm a plain black girl though I also love jasmine, chai and sometimes Orange Pekoe. Here in Oz there is a great tea shop chain called T2 :-) Susie

[Ruthie]

I love this collection - definitely want to get the coat!

[allison]

as for books:the thirteenth tale- diane setterfieldthe time traveler's wife- audrey niffeneggeroystercatchers- susan fletcherthe book of lost things- john connelly

[Hansbans]

[amanda]

hm...tea...wanna have a cup of earl grey with milk and sugar. my all time favourite.i read a few weeks ago the time travellers wife by audrey niffenegger-a book a lot of people recommendet. the shadow of the wind is great(carlos ruiz safon) and night train to lissabon by pascal mercier.

[Krista]

I am also a sucker for peppermint tea and The Time Travellers Wife. My two other favourites are The Princess Bride (so much better than the movie, really!) and The Lovely Bones.

[Megan]

Good picks for fall! I have to second Twilight by Stephanie Meyers. There is just something about it that makes it a perfect fall read. And they're making it into a movie :) As for tea, I really love early grey lemon!

[Caroline]

Fall is my favorite season too, and I have a couple projects on tap as well. My favorite tea is plain old black or Constant Comment. Favorite books I'm sorry to say are the Harry Potter books. I also adore "The Shell Seekers" and "And Ladies of the Club." And I'll read anything by Mary Higgins Clark and Terry Brooks. Trash, I know, but so delicious. In nonfiction, "Blue Like Jazz" by Donald Miller was an inspiration.

[beth]

i've always been a huge fan of earl grey tea (yum!). and for a great book i'd recommend the lady and the unicorn by tracey chevalier - http://www.amazon.com/Lady-Unicorn-Tracy-Chevalier/dp/0525947671

[Loopy]

Oh! I've got to agree with Krista! Time Traveler's Wife is a beautiful story! (I got a little weepy). And a book like this deserves a soothing camomile tea. Yum!
