“This gorgeous Hälssen & Lyon calendar is made of brewable tea. Each day is made of fine pressed wafer thin tea leaves.”

Sweet merciful Jeebus.

3. “Ciacapo”
4. “I Tondi“
5. “Magic Flute Sarastro“
6. Brickett Davda
7. “Helena”
8. Menu Glassware “Norm Kettle”
9. “Balcon du Guadalquivir,” Hermes
10. Marimekko “Oiva”
11. “Modern Stripe“
