The Random Tea Room & Curiosity Shop

Tea is about nourishing the body, tonifying the spirit and making new friends, but The Random Tea Room isn't only about tea. Vintage and antique pieces are also available for purchase, not to mention delicious baked goods, French-pressed Old City coffee, and locally made jewelry and skin care products. We also offer free wireless internet so you can surf while you sip. Most of all, we look forward to spreading the good will of Tea and growing with the community, cup by cup, pot by pot.

Change, it's inevitable.

Change, it's inevitable.
Be it pocket jingle, physical attributes or moods, change happens.
After selling a super rad print,
I was faced with a gaping hole above the threshold of the tea fortress.
In an effort to communicate as much as possible,
I decided to upgrade the tea room and add a chalk board.
Of course, not just any old rectangular board will do,
and I couldn't spend any money.
Luckily, I'm pretty creative and have lots-o-stuff.
I cut up an old masonite drawing board,
chalk board painted it and just happened to have a rubber hand
(thanks former studio mate Ben Meister)
that I painted gold and mounted.
A few chalk scribblings later and we have artful communication.

There have been quite a few signage updates
in the tea room as of late mostly made by Ian.














































































Speaking of change......
