Tea on Tuesday

I am sipping some tea,
                         that was in a bag,
                                     which was in a box,
                                                    which arrived last week,
                                                                                     as part of
                                                                 The Traveling Teacup

Put together by Judy at Apron Strings  , this teacup is going to a number of tea lovers around the country and Canada.It's kind of like a teacup round robin!

Each person puts in a hand crafted item of their own creation, enters a post in the little journal, and takes a photo of where the teacup has been. We get to ooh and aah over the wonderful items in the box, take some tea from the bag, and replace the tea bags we used with some of our own favs.

Then the box is carefully repacked and sent on its way, to the next recipient.

I will only give a tiny peek , showing the mini journal and the tea - don't want to spoil the surprise for the next on the list!!!

Here's the tea I took out - Twinings is in my cup this morning!

My teacup for today is a thrift store pottery find. Not in any stretch of the imagination is this a delicate china teacup- but it's the right size, and a great attempt by whoever this beginner potter was!! I love it!

 

Also gleaned from that thrift trip was this clunky,primitive little cup and teapot - perfect for a little girl's tea party ! And, it's purple!!!!! Soon to be on Etsy, if I can ever just sit down and restock the cyber shelves!!

Another thrift score - some more vintage silverware - with a cute little mystery spoon - anyone have a clue what this might be for? It's kind of a tear drop or candle flame shape.

Don't forget to visit Patty and Kimmie for a list of other Tuesday tea drinkers. Drop by and leave a comment - here and there- so we know you've been by!!! See you soon.................................
