shotgun view (er, from a while ago)
Yesterday I wrote my first forum post on Etsy, which serves an opportunity to help other crafters and artists who sell online. The post explained how I wrote my business plan in conjunction with how I travel (by the seat of my pants, with lots of stops for looky-looing along the way).
This reminded me that I have not shared any of the pictures of our trip to Arizona (which was, um three months ago), but the good news is that I have since learned how to make really cool collages. So this is a tiny shotgun view of how we travel and it”s pretty much a microcosm of how I view my business as well:
Happy business planning!

have I mentioned…?
I’m working on a website overhaul…
Summer market season begins June 19 at the Gallatin Valley Fairgrounds…
I’m vending at my very first show-away-from-home (June 25-26):
And then I’ll be vending at my first accepted-by-jury show that very same weekend (Sunday, June 27):
Yep. Back to the world behind the doors of The Tiny Empire of Tea. I promise to come out and breathe again soon!

roll with the punches
I was just reading a post about “plans” and motherhood over at dig this chick, a fellow Montana mama from Missoula, and I couldn’t stop nodding my head in agreement.
I spend a lot of time standing in front of the sink at our house since we don’t have a dishwasher, so there’s a lot of pretty things on the wall for me to look at:
And on that wall is my favorite quote, front and center:
“It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent,
but the one most responsive to change.”
– Charles Darwin
Roll with the punches, enjoy these days. Especially the ones with sunshine and birdies and a pretty blossom smell in the air.

the tiny empire of tea
So instead of taking more pictures of the new tea blends, I got myself into a tizzy and created four more. I’ll just show you some gratuitous Montana shots instead while I tell you about the new teas.
This beautiful place we call home is a major component of the inspiration, after all.
I’ll go into further explanation as the details get a little more solid, but for today I thought I would let you know the names of the new crew:
- Move Me Brightly
- The Peacock’s Fancy
- Glorybound
- Sacred Earth
- Green Go Lightly
- Prairie Shine
- Firedancer
- Beloved
- Black Moon
- Mountain Morning
Yep. That’s ten teas that have erupted out of the flurry of flowers, herbs, spices, and top quality teas over the last few days. It was really fun but I think I’d better take a break for awhile. I’m a little crazy from all the caffeine.
Whoops, forgot one. Woodland Maiden. That one has hops. And sticks.
So as soon as I get all the names rounded up, I’ll announce the winner of the Tea for Two set on Tumblr (you can see it in the sidebar over there under “current state of mind” ~ it also automatically posts to Facebook). Thank you to everyone who entered! I’m excited to see who gets to be the first to try Move Me Brightly–as for everyone else, it will be available on Etsy pretty quick.
