Christmas Market at Bouquet by

For the Christmas market at Bouquet by, ooo joined a small group of artists and makers in the studio space.

We brought tea, teaware, and a few objects for the table: loose leaves to smell, small packages to take home, cups, pots, trays, and tools that make tea feel closer to daily life.

It was not a tasting menu or a guided session. People moved through the room slowly — looking at textiles, ceramics, flowers, books, jewellery, objects, then stopping at the tea table. Some came to buy gifts. Some asked how to brew at home. Some picked up a cup before choosing a tea.

That felt right for winter.

Tea can be a drink, but it can also be a small gesture of care: something to bring to a dinner, to send to a friend, to keep for quiet mornings, or to place beside an object you like.

At Bouquet by, tea lived among other handmade and chosen things. Not louder than the rest, just part of the same table.
