Tea Tea, Camellia Senesis

They say that the third time is the charm, so I am trying a tea plant for the third time!!!  I believe I have learned from my mistakes. 

I will not add to much extra things to the soil and I will not over water.

I went up to Hirt's Garden, just past Wadsworth and picked up my third tea plant.

They had the nicest selection I have seen on the Camellia Senesis plants and they had two sizes- a 4" and a 6" size.

I randomly selected my plant and hoped for the best.   This is the large leaf tea plant.

Be sure to check the hours if you want to go there, they close at 3pm during the week and at noon on the weekends.

I used the plant light I got a few years ago for Christmas to see if that helps with the red and blue lights.

They say it is an easy to grow house plant...here is hoping that they are right. This time if it starts to die I will bring it in to work...all my plants seem to grow great in my office with the artificial lights.

Picking up dishes as I go...

At Goodwill in Jackson I picked up this fun dish from Japan...I knew right away it matched some pieces that I already had.

Also, these pottery pieces are super light and almost feel damaged, but aren't.  As soon as I pick up any of these pieces I can tell they all go together.

This covered dish was $4.14.  I believe it is Darco Pottery - Troy NY.

A year or so ago, I picked up this pink pitcher from a Goodwill as well.  It also matches the pieces.

Two or three years ago I picked up these pink cups...that matched these green cups and tea pot that I had bought about 12 years ago.

This is the set that started it all.  This vintage glazed stoneware tea set from Japan I picked up for $10 when I worked at Audrey's Attic.

I am enjoying my eclectic little set of Japanese tea ware all with the basket weave pattern. 

I have tried to research this pottery and I can't find anything on it sadly.
