There are a few partly-written drafts about things I've seen or done over the last fourteen months that have been hanging out in my Blogger "posts" section, so I am going to be posting a mix of those and new things.
Enjoy!

In addition to taking photos of pretty teapots at the Ecoferia, I made a couple of purchases.
Location: My apartment in Santiago (bought at Ecoferia)
Comments: I have fallen head-over-heels in love with this thing. It is green in more ways than one! Obviously it encompasses various hues of the color green, but although it is plastic it is also BPA-free, so I don't have to worry about ingesting unappetizing chemicals with my delicious tea. I can use it for anything -- cold water, prepared tea, teabag tea, loose-leaf tea, you name it! Unlike metal mugs it is clear and lightweight, and it has an inner cup that fits inside the outer shell, so the tea will warm your hands without burning them! It even has its own removable strainer so you can put your loose leaves right there in the inner cup, fill with hot water, put in the strainer, and you're ready to go. The one drawback is that the lid tends to leak a little, even when it seems to be screwed on tight and straight. Other than that, this might be my favorite tea accessory! (I swear, even water tastes better when I drink it from this thing.)
*Update: I actually lost my beautiful tea bottle last fall, which made me very sad. However, I have found a new "Tea Traveler," which is fantastic and shall be featured in an upcoming post!
Item: Fruity herbal infusions (cherry, blueberry, apple)
Location: My apartment in Santiago (bought at Ecoferia)
Comments: These are fruity three herbal infusions with the brand name "TE Cuida," which translates to "Tea Cares (For)" and also "Cares For You," which I love. I never actually got to try these guys because I moved shortly after I bought them and they must have gotten lost in the shuffle. But look at that gorgeous packaging! I'm sure they would have been delicious.
Item: Herbal infusion - rosehip.
Location: My apartment in Santiago (bought at Ecoferia)
Comments: This one I actually did get to try before it got lost, and it was delicious. Mmm rosehip. :)
Item: Grey ceramic teapot and cup with blue flowers.
Location: My apartment in Santiago
Comments: So this isn't the exact same one from before, but my better half ended up buying me pretty flowery teapot very similar to the one we saw at the Ecoferia, and an adorably tiny teacup to go with it!
