First day back at the office after a 3-week holiday ... Slowely getting back into work mode Luckily I don't suffer as much from concentration problems as in the last couple of weeks before my holiday. Boyfriend won't be home until late tomorrow night But he's coming straight over to my place

In my cup: cappuccino.

Then I would guess the concentration problems might return...

I've decided to purchase;
A flagon with a dragon
A vessel with a pestle
A chalice with a palace

Other than in old movies, any idea where I might find all three?

Time for a glass of rum.

A flagon (bell) with a dragon
A flagon with a dragon (sold)
A flagon with a dragon (currently unavailable)
A flagon with a dragon (available)
Another flagon (mug) with a dragon (available)


A chalice (mug) with a palace (also available)


But I've failed to come up with a vessel with a pestle.

You're good! And...wouldn't a regular mortar-and-pestle serve as a "vessel with a pestle? (ok, so it's a vessel with a pestle INSIDE it, but still...)

All in all, I'd say you've done rather well! I do appreciate your efforts.... but...
I hate to sound ungrateful but at $1,900 for the Flagon (which I'm sure is worth every penny) the leather one for $45 is more within what I had budgeted...

While we're on it, that is one sorry looking Chalice! I mean, isn't chalice supposed to look like a grail or something. That one looks like a Dunken Donuts coffee mug! It has all the ambiance of a parking garage...

Lemme ask you... Would you serve the Queen tea in a mortar? One with a pestle sticking out that could poke her eye out? Champagne out of a slipper is one thing. Tea out of a mortar is a horse of a different color... to mix my metaphors. While I DO think it's perfectly acceptable to serve love potions out of mortars (especially if one's name is Hecate) tea just won't do.

One more glass of Bombay Sapphire and then off to bed!

EDIT: Addendum... further looking shows a larger stein on the Palace Chalice page. A bit crude, but then, so am I.
I think I might just order this un!

No florist games. Memories of an wonderful old Danny Kaye movie called "The Court Jester." Well worth a watch!

Rooibos Vanilla. Pot one.

Slow day at work so hopefully more time for tea and getting caught up with the boards.
