Took this photo on our return from Detroit, perfect for today as I thank you for being part of my life.
Dryad would not be what it is without you, *I* would not be who I am without every experience I've had meeting so many of you, chatting with you on socials, discord, Twitch. Today I am grateful.
It's TODAY!!!! My birthday!!! Yaaaay!
Now I get to give all of you gifts!
Please join me in celebrating, and get you some tea!
It's my birthday tomorrow and I'm giving the gifts!
Please join me to celebrate another turn around the sun!
Tea Tuesday!
Cold brewing tea has become my go to recently. With temperatures being warmer than usual recently I've needed a cool off!
Bob the Skull has become a big favorite of mine to cold brew!
“Dear Shop Owners,
It is with deep regret that we write to inform you that Painted Tree Boutiques has made the very difficult decision to cease all business operations today; Painted Tree will not be conducting any further retail sales at any location.”
It's that time again! The reoccurring battle or green or black tea!
Let me know in the comments which you prefer (and yes, voting caffeine free is acceptable too!)
Happy to report there is some pottery on the website! D1scord got first dibs (you should join us!) but there are still plenty of stunning pieces available to take home with you!
We returned NCECA and had to say goodbye to Caspian, so we are a bit behind on orders. Hoping to be back to normal by early next week. Until then, here's a photo of the sunrise from my hotel in Detroit. That's Canada across the water. (Yes, I said good morning to Canada every day.)
Thank you all.
Off to NCECA!
Thank you for your patience while Knight and I travel to our yearly Ceramics "Trade Show" where I get to learn lots of new stuff and shop for lots of new supplies!
All outstanding orders will begin shipping when we return on 3/31!
Tomorrow come see us at Colorado Anime Fest! Come get your Colorado tea restock! You know you need more tea.
Will we see you this weekend at Colorado Anime Fest?
I sure hope so!
It's Friday!
Happy Friday, Teaflings! What's in your tea cup today?
We're back from AMKE! Thank you to everyone who stopped by to chat and pick up some tea or pottery! I look forward to us returning in 2027 💚
Next up? COAF!
In honor of attending Anime Milwaukee in just a few days, today's Tea Tuesday!
Wildflower Whimsy is my take on a lavender lemonade tisane.
If you want extra lemon? Steep it with lemonade instead of water!
Find us this weekend at Anime Milwaukee! We're super excited to be back!
I am so grateful to have found the clay community that I have. They're really great folks.
(This is a Nugget that I made for the CCW fundraiser after being invited to take part this year! The money raised goes to a scholarship to help folks attend CCW!)
I've been doing a lot of thinking about Clay Con West last month, processing all of the knowledge that was passed on, reminiscing about the joyful time spent with friends. I'm also looking forward to the end of March when I get to meet up with a lot of those same friends at NCECA in Detroit.
Tea Tuesday: Girl with the Lion's Tail!
Inspired by the music of SJ Tucker, this tea is warm hazelnut notes blend with cinnamon and vanilla for a tea that offers comfort and freedom all at once.

We're preparing for convention season! This is the time of year when we start making *all of the things* for cons! Today we're working on Flavor and Class Packs! We change them yearly to keep choices new and exciting, but they'll be the same awesome grab and go packs that you've all come to love!
Where to find us this year!
It's a pretty full schedule, but I'm excited to see everyone! Where will we be seeing YOU?
Mushroom cups!
If you could choose any color for the cups, and the mushrooms- what would you pick? I'm always curious of people's "dream combinations"
Today's Tea is Casimira. This was DryadDad's favorite tea, he'd bring his empty tin to the shop for a refill as "payment" for helping us out.
The state of everything has been weighing heavily on me, and I wish Dad were here to give me a pep talk. I wish he were here to give all of us a pep talk...
Hope everyone is staying warm and safe out there! We here at Dryad Tea HQ didn't get much snow so we're in office and working on getting orders out!
Please have patience with usps as some areas of the country got hammered <3
Not only are we back, but we're doing a sale!
Up to 25% off so many things! Please help me clear this out!
We're back in shop after a much needed rest! You should start seeing shipping notifications.
Did you take part in TeaCember? What was your favorite day?
Mine was Day 31. Much to no ones surprise. This exact pattern and color combo will never be made again. TeaCember was the only way to get it!
Our Short Rest is almost complete (though, maybe it's more like a Long Rest...)
I promise that I've been working on a few things in the background, so get ready for January 2nd!
Tea mail is probably one of the best things ever. And what's even better for me? Photos of tea mail! When people post in Discord in the Tea Time channel I always get the best smiles, and a lot of warm fuzzies.
I know we're always looking for more Teafling friends to join us. <3

Peppermint Forest has been a huge hit this holiday season. I still have some left, if you want to try it for yourself!
We're working on getting orders out as quickly as we can, but if you're worried about holiday cut offs may I suggest gift cards? Great to gift, easy to get in time for your deadlines!
It was so wonderful to join the members of Castle Clay at the Denver Potters Association sale this past weekend. Thank you to everyone who came out and picked up some tea! I had such an amazing time chatting with everyone Friday and hope to be invited back as a guest artist in the future!
