Field No. 170 — Sit a Spell

Botanical icon: flower blossom  · Collection: At the Stillroom Table

Shared in the moment. Rooted in the Stillroom Tradition.

A talc-free dusting powder for quiet, everyday care.

✤

Sit a Spell was born from long afternoons spent on the porch — iced tea glasses sweating in warm hands, conversation drifting easily, time stretching without notice. It is the scent of pause and presence, of being invited to stay just a little longer.

Soft black tea forms the heart of this blend, gently sweetened with fruit and cooled by notes of cucumber and summer air. Lightly floral and quietly refreshing, it is familiar, welcoming, and never rushed.

From the Farm

Sit a Spell carries the memory of porch conversations with my stepmother and Aunt Nan — the kind that unfolded slowly, with iced tea, shared stories, and the feeling that nothing else needed doing. Laughter floated easily, the air heavy with bloom and warmth, time held gently in place.

Blended by hand in our Summer Kitchen, this powder is an invitation to that same moment: to pause, to linger, and to be present where you are.
