Spices and Tease
once
only sold at GreenMarkets
around the city
setting up their tables
laden with all sorts
of
fragrant spices
and
teas
there was talk of a website
there was talk of a real store
there was talk
the owners are French
the lines were long
on Sundays
regulars
newbies
tourists
finally
there is a website
there is a store
and
now to the
GreenFlea
they
come
no
more!
Do you miss seeing all of the wonderful spices and tea blends? Seems sad they don't do the Green Fleas now...but I do know where I'll be ordering some tea! Amazing selection of teas!
ReplyDeleteOh what a shame they don't come to the flea market any more. One of the things I loved when we went to Turkey on holiday was walking round the spice market - the aromas were A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.!
ReplyDeleteI can smell those spices from here! I'll have to check out their website now that I'm relaxed enough to enjoy cooking again. And I must say, I immediately focused on the Mary Poppins marquee in your header... I have been mildly obsessed with Mary Poppins for 2 weeks now.
ReplyDeleteI can comment again!!
ReplyDeleteholy crackers, I'm so happy
don't know what I did
maybe I just had to be sick for awhile
anyhoo
I can barely dealy with salt and pepper, let alone spices with long names
I love the cat bear, the way the bird seems to be looking at him is endearing
There is no smelling the website so it's a bit unfortunate, I suppose.
ReplyDeleteHey, this is Fred from Spices and Tease.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this post.
We will be back soon at the Flea Market, but for now you can still smell all our wonderful products at our UWS store (2580 Broadway between 97&98) and at our Grand Central Terminal Location in the Grand Central Market.
Hoping to see you all soon!
Mmm...can smell 'em. Reminds me of all those wonderful spices in India. My clothes happily reeked of curry and others for quite a while...and I didn't care.
ReplyDeleteI I ever got near one of those spice sellers' booths, I'd probably never leave. I'd be hooked on the fragrances!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty...the photo and the words! And Fred appreciates the effort!!
ReplyDeleteYou have turned into Dr. Seuss! Love it!
ReplyDeleteWishing this was a scratch and sniff post! And I love not only your colorful, detailed photo but also your clever words. You are one talented lady! And I like coming to visit your blog just to stare at the header...so much to look at, to dream about! Enjoy your weekend.
ReplyDeleteTaking in the sights and smells here must be wonderful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo and I bet the reality smelled divine too. I love spice shops :).
ReplyDeleteThis is defiitely a 'big smile' post! Love it!
ReplyDeleteThere is a wonderful spice shop in Philly that when we go over there we visit, I love to add special spices to my cooking, I will look at the website...thank you Daryl...
ReplyDeleteOh, well that's a shame. Sort of takes away a lot of the ambiance ~
ReplyDeleteShoot.The colors and scents must have been heavenly.
