Glitterlimes bra

Glitterlimes is a favorite website of mine that sells dried fruit that is resined and glittered and sold as jewelry. Love love love their products.

Debbie Ploor, owner of Orange, a store in Valrico Florida, created a bra with some Glitterlimes for "Bras for a Cause". There were 30 bras made by different stores/ individuals, auctioned off at a Breast Cancer Event, and worn on a BC walk.

Not too long ago I posted about a tea cup bra that was also featured at the Bras for a Cause event. To read that post click here.

all the other colours are just colours
but purple seems to have a soul
purple is not just a noun
and a adjective
but also a verb
when you look at it
it's looking back at you

tea and water

"Tea and Water give each other life," the Professor was saying. "The tea is still alive. This tea has tea and water vitality," he added, "...Afterwards, the taste still happens... It rises like velvet... It is a performance."

Irises tea cups

Irises (1889) Vincent Van Gogh

Irises is one of my favorite painting. For some time I have been planing a tattoo based on a strip of the painting.

To offer a little history of the piece, Irises is a painting by Dutch artist Vincent Van Gogh. Irises was painted while Van Gogh was living at the asylum at Saint Paul-de-Mausole in Saint Remy de Provence, France. It was painted the last year before his death in 1890.

I came across the above image which I immediately recognized as an Irises print. I only wish the tea cup was for sale!

After seeing this lovely cup I was curious if I could find others. I found much tackier and gaudier pieces. These pieces are actually for sale. They are not my style but fun to gander at. If you care to make a purchase click on the link below each image.

care for a cup?

Beautiful yet frightening ay?



In April 2007 Nick Watts planted 74,802 cups of tea in Trafalgar Square, London, to illustrate the average Londoner's tea consumption over a lifetime.

Watts created a documentary in 2007 which spoke to the topic of product consumption and its effect on the plant. The documentary is entitled Human Footprint.
