Tea on Tuesday

Did you know today is International Women's Day? That's what my calendar tells me- so, I raise my teacup to all my "fellow" women out there!!!!!

In today's teacup is Kroger's Private Collection brand- acai, pomegranate, blueberry green tea- it seems to cover all those healthy fruits in one hot drink!!!

It's kind of redundant- the name of the tea, then the description below- the name is kind of self explanatory, don't ya' think?

I'm sipping this flavorful tea in one of my "new" fabulous finds!! This was a real score- to me, anyway!!! I found these in the antique shop, while checking up on my own booth. 
Hidden away in a tiny booth were 5 of these little beauties for the sum total of $3.99! I could NOT resist!!

I bought them with the full intent of putting them on eBay or in my Etsy shop, but really fell in love with them when I unwrapped them at home.







They are museum reproduction pieces from the Henry Ford Museum. The design is reminiscent of the early 1900's in quite modern day colors.



Here is my group of five, circled around a vintage carafe that I've had for about 25+ years.





Also on my breakfast table this morning, is a throwaway vintage piece, rescued from the trash - with a little silver polish, and a dried flower found in my woods (hiding the bends and crimps in the piece). It turns out to be a quadruple silver piece circa 1896-98. My favorite era for dinnerware, silverware, and fashion- so it's a keeper, despite its damage.





Last, but not least, in celebration of International Women's Day and Tea on Tuesday, I am giving away ONE small canning jar of peppermint tea leaves. As you can see, I have more that enough to last me!!! I bought bulk from Frontier, and would love to share.
So, leave a comment on this post, and let me know if you are interested in entering for the tea giveaway. A random name will be chosen at the end of today.



Please feel free to join us every Tuesday for tea. Please stop by and visit Kimmie and Patty for a list of all the tea partiers!

  2. Your new tea cups and saucers are so vibrantly pretty! I have been to Henry Ford Museum and think it is so cool that these cups came from there. I would have kept them for myself too!
    Thank you so much for sharing them with us.
    Hugs,
    Terri

  8. I want that darn tea.
    Forget those other girls - I am a copy cat and drink your special tea.
    Plus,
    I have a strainer now for my yerba mate.
    but no gourd.
    gourds aren't free, you know.
    Xx,
