New Teacups

One of my husband's co-workers' wives is a potter, and my husband commissioned some teacups for me a few months ago. I got them yesterday, and I couldn't be more thrilled:
(The soup spoon is there for size perspective.)
Even the insides are beautiful!
I need to build a little shelf in the kitchen to display them. That Dremel in the garage has been feeling neglected...
In other news, I'm excited to be taking a weekend workshop on permaculture in a couple of weeks. I won't be able to implement much of what I learn until we buy a home, but I want to have all the research done beforehand, so I can get started immediately when we move in. Ultimately, I'd like to grow most of what my family eats, with a bit left over for the farmers' market. I'll have to start a permaculture blog eventually.
In preparation for the class, I'm reading Bill Mollison's Introduction to Permaculture, but it's slow going because it's competing for my attention with Michael Pollan's The Omnivore's Dilemma. I recently read Richard Louv's The Last Child in the Woods, a wonderful book that I will review as soon as I get a spare moment. For now, there are some warm blueberry muffins calling my name...
