Welcome, I'm Shirley

LoA little about me… I’m Shirley Dawson, the author and owner of this blog. I live in the Ozark hills of northwest Arkansas with my husband and our big dog, Boaz. I’m retired after 33 years with the FDA, mostly in IT. I’ve always loved software, image editing, and creating blogs and websites. I also enjoy drawing and painting, and I truly love the World Wide Web.
These days, I spend a lot of time researching, learning, and working on my three blog sites. This one, A Passion for Tea, is my latest—and yes, I truly do have a passion for all things tea.

I also love photography and ran a portrait studio for several years. I enjoy keeping up with my favorite tea groups on Facebook, and I’m always learning something new online.
Most importantly, I’m a grandmother to some wonderful grandchildren, which brings a lot of joy to my everyday life.

If you’ve made it this far, you’re probably someone who enjoys slowing down and savoring the simple things — just like I do. Whether you’re here to learn more about tea, find something comforting to sip, or just take a quiet break from a busy day, I’m so glad you stopped by. So go ahead… put the kettle on, choose your favorite cup, and stay awhile.

There’s always time for tea.
