Iced Tea

 It has been so hot in Santa Cruz, and the fear of fire is always there. I still plant my flowers and hope for the best. The last heat wave up north horrified me: fruit cooked on the trees and shellfish cooked in the sand.

Sequestered in my room (against the heat), I searched around for some scrapbook ideas (I like, as you can tell, vintage ads) and came across this rather fun one from the McCormick company. The give-aways back then always seemed to be good quality (this pitcher was made by the Hall company and was ceramic).
