Coordinates: Tea Time
It is nice to have different items that go together as it creates a feeling of harmony and organization - such a relaxing air is highly desired in a chaotic kitchen, or to enhance the soothing nature of tea. A matching tea cosy and tea towel really put the final touch on fine hospitality. To hold a warm cup of tea, take a bite of your scone, and glance around at the beautifully and carefully chosen details of your surroundings make the moment truly charmingly calm. Once you create the ambiance, from the linens to the specialty drink you serve, you will love to have someone over for a cup of afternoon tea and soft oatmeal raisin cookies.

Garrison Keillor perfectly describes the delight of hospitality in his book "Wobegon Boy":

Aunt Eleanor had a beautiful garden. "She was my ideal. She lived her life as best she could and never complained." Said mother "One her best days, there was no one more generous and fun to be with, and on her worst days, she kept quiet about it. She loved to have people over for coffee. She laid out a nice white cloth on the table and set out her best cups and saucers and the creamer and sugar bowl, the good napkins, a plate of fresh cookies, and berries in season, and she sat at the head of the table and poured coffee and it went on for hours. She was never in a rush. She was a country person. Hospitality was everything to her." - pg. 102

How much more will you enjoy being in your kitchen when you are wearing an apron you love with matching tea towels abounding. Too many women and men daily chop and cook their meals in haste adding to the workday they have often come back from, not caring if the towels are terry cloth or linen, or even wearing an apron! Imagine escaping into your kitchen with delight as you slip into your favorite apron, click on the ipod, and swing around the kitchen creating the culinary delight for the evening. Having an apron and matching kitchen towels allows your cooking experience to shift from inconvenient havoc hastiness to a place where you belong, reign and relax as you master your meal.
