Stain
What a neat idea! “Stain is a set of a teacups designed to improve through use….The interior surface of the cup is treated so as to stain more in predetermined places. The more the cups are used, the more the pattern is revealed. Over time they will build up an individual pattern dependent on the users personal way of drinking tea.”

Cool teacups. But I’m really writing because I couldn’t help but notice the “Great Books”, Philosophy and Latin titles in your Amazon Feed (Stuff We Love).
All this jumped out at me because I’m currently taking Latin at Berkeley Extension and am reading my way through the Great Books following the St. John’s College list (I’ve made it to Aristotle).
I gathered from other stuff on this blog that you’re in SF. I live in Bernal and one of my classmates lives in the Mission/Noe. (She’s also taking Philosophy at Cal.)
If you are interested in connecting with a couple of laid back, like-minded people, send me an email. (I couldn’t find an email address on this blog, so I figured I’d just post a comment here in hopes that you’ll be able to access my email address from the comment form.)
It’s just so rare to run across someone who’s interested in this stuff, especially here in SF . . .
Vale!
Lauren
When (if?) we get our first check from the Amazon referral fees we should buy drinks for all the TR readers at Wild Side West!
I just sent an email to Lauren, but to all the other TR readers who might happen upon this…the links in our sidebar are actually chosen by Amazon based on things it thinks *you’ll* like and not necessarily stuff we like (though chances are high that we’d like it too :-) There’s more info on Amazon’s Omakase thingy over here. Anyways, hope that clears up the confusion! :-) (also kudos to Lauren for making it through all the classics! I wish i were determined enough to do that!)
