{Feature + Giveaway :: The Gleam of Rose Tea}

April 7, 2010 ·
Filed Under: giveaway

This giveaway is now closed!

This feature + giveaway is really exciting for me because it’s on a beautiful shop. And we all know how easy it is to talk about beautiful, drool-worthy things over here, right? :]

I’d like to introduce Hillary of The Gleam of Rose Tea to you. She’s a super sweet girl with such a passion for accessories that inspire. You may visit her blog here.

***

What inspires you?

A big open field, DIY projects, and holding hands in public.

Share an interesting fact about yourself.

I once had an outfit featured on the cover of a daily Chinese newspaper.

How did you come up with your blog name?

My favorite verse in the Bible has the word “gleam”, I love tea, and my middle name is Rose. I made it up at 12am and it kind of stuck.

{Proverbs 4:18- The path of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn, shining ever brighter till the full light of day.}

Share a little bit about yourself.

I love family time, sunlit pictures, and weekends that consist of naps and fresh fruit. I have moved across country four times during grammar school. I work with people who design games all day. I get excited when I find a new blog to follow and an outfit that inspires me. One of my goals is to know high-end designers by their advertisement (I work in marketing).

Share with us a favorite Etsy purchase or shop.

I am biased towards my own.

List a few of your most favorite pastimes.

The first dinner I made for my boyfriend. He sat at the table for an hour eating homemade pita chips and hummus after I cleared everything away. Doing nothing at my family’s summer lake-house in Maine.

Read any good books lately?

Harry Potter 5, and the Women in White. Have I finish them is the question…

What is your most prized possession?

My thrifted Cole Haan brogues for $8

What are three of your favorite foods?

Jasmine pearl tea (that can be a food right?), homemade salsa, pasta carbonara.

What would you like to learn to do?

Cook so well people cant wait to come over.

What are you listening to right now?

You and I, Ingrid Michaelson

Name one place you must visit in your lifetime and why.

Hands down Alaska, to see the Aurora Borealis

    Saw your post on Twitter – bcuz I follow you – about if I read your blog.

    Well – i don’t read it that often – but I like your entries – especially this one with all of the questions. It is a fun read about Hilary.

    My blog is called at the Blue Barn – which is also the name of my website.

    The name came from a drawing that our youngest son did for a PTA art contest which was of a Blue Barn which is posted here: http://www.atthebluebarn.com/pages/aboutus.htm.

    Thanks for your post.
    Jennifer
