			Quiet Comfort on Wintry Days “The night was clear and frosty, all ebony of shadow and silver of snowy slope; big stars were shining over the silent fields.” –Lucy Maud Montgomery As the winter wind whips outside, it is simply blissful to wrap up in a cozy blanket and enjoy the warm comfort of a steaming cup of tea. After the commotion and busyness of the holidays, winter is the time for quiet contemplation. Take a moment to write a letter, read a poem, or simply sit by the glow of the soothing fire with a copy of TeaTime in hand. When February comes, we find ourselves enamored with all things lovely.
