T Stands for the Teabag Book



While looking for some examples of a pamphlet stitched book for the bookmaking class I am teaching, I came across this fun, teabag - shaped book from a small books exchange. "A Little Book of Tea Quotes Just for You"


Come along inside...
We'll see if tea and buns
can make the world 
a better place

Kenneth Graham
Wind in the Willows


We live in stirring times
tea stirring times.

Christopher Isherwood


Tea is drunk
to forget
the din of the world.

T'ien Yiheng


Frog made a fresh pot of tea
He sat down and began a story

Arnold Lobel
Days with Frog and Toad


She talked and talked
and drank
cups and cups of tea.

Margot Peters


"Do you want  your adventure now,"
Peter said casually to John,
"or would you like your tea first?"
Wendy said, "Tea first. Quickly"

J. M. Barrie
Peter Pan


Find yourself a cup;
The teapot is behind you.
Now tell me about
hundreds of things.

Saki


it's always
tea-time

Lewis Carroll
Alice in Wonderland
