    There is a stack of tea cups and plates beside an image of a person. On the left side there are four pink and orange tea cups stacked with their tea plates between them. There are triple leaf designs on three of the tea cups, while the second from the top has “This Tea Gives Back” written on it. The person to the write of the image is wearing black leggings, a light pink sweater, and a hot pink shirt along with a black purse and a black and white patterned scarf. They are smiling to the left of the camera and grabbing a water from a shelf that is behind their head and to their left.

    A photo of a table with two art filled notebooks (one near the camera and the other further down the table), coloured pencils strewn across the table, two dark beverages with ice in whiskey glasses in the middle of the table, and a deep red plastic cup at the far end of the table. The closer notebook has drawings of a ghost, a winking jack-o’-lantern, and a smiling bat while the further notebook has an unfinished drawing of a bat.
