slow down for a cup of tea with Tolkien

To escape into reality for a moment or two, we chat theology, philosophy, literature, family and home.
Sit down in a nice cozy chair with a cup of tea and a cake or two, nestled in our own corner of modern-day hobbiton.  

join the conversation

Join our closed Facebook group for discussion, our book club, and community here.
Our Book Club will be beginning the Return of the King in the fall! 

This little corner of our home is officially my favorite. We were hanging up the kids' backpacks and I'm still a little bit in awe of that third hook which will soon hold another little backpack. 🐻
Lattes with Lewis baseball tees are finally available, just in time for the last few days of our sale! Grab yours for $20 + I'll refund your shipping (if you're international, I'll refund $8 of your shipping cost) if you share about our sale on your Instagram feed or stories. PS sweatshirts are also on sale for $40!
Just a reminder! 🍂 All baseball tees are marked down to $20 this week + sweatshirts are only $40! And I'll be restocking the travel mugs in a new, bigger plastic version in a week or two! 🍃
I found a little deer and a bear cub wandering around in the trees this afternoon... 🐻🌲🦌
