Griffith Park Tea House Installation Comes to San Pedro

Opening ceremony for the Griffith Park Tea House installation took place last night. I was unable to attend so I visited the tea house, briefly, Friday afternoon.

The tea house sits atop Knoll Hill in San Pedro. It appears that this may be a travelling installation.  Pedro may not be its home.

Note all photos are by Lady J © March 2016. Photos are meant for this blog only.

Inside the house was a small bench, a bell, and wooden tablets to scribe upon. On these tablets wishes are written.  When I arrived,  I was greeted by a woman who had collected what looked to be about 100 wishes that had flown away due to high wind.

Some of the wishes were warming and others were just plain ridiculous.

My wish for Los Angeles:

A wish
A hope
A knowing
that inside our ribs
we carry the light that lives
and the light that dims

I'm so appreciative of this installation.  I love tea houses,  and I love Pedro, Los Angeles, and the powerful simplicity of a wish.

Care for a Kettle? Tea Pot from Modcloth

Cupcake Kettle or Teapot at Modcloth.

The spout looks like a pig nose and the top is definitely resembles a peppermint candy. I don't care forth either, however, overall this kettle is pretty enough to be added to my humble collection.

Mangoes & Green Tea Ice Cream

Moons ago, when I considered starting a zine, I thought I would title it, Mangoes and Green Tea Ice Cream. I loved the randomness of it's sound and the mango is my favorite fruit and green tea is my favorite flavor of ice cream.

I was curious to find images of this combination. This one is from Yelp; posted by Dung N. Very pretty. I've got the green tea ice cream in my fridge: looks like I'll need to pick up some mangoes tomorrow.

If the zine thing, ever comes to fruition, I'll definitely keep the name.

I love a man who embraces eccentricity, the art of tea, and giant hats.

Life is better with a tambourine in your hand. If you don't got one, a cup of tea will do.
