Tea Tasting and More...

Dropped in at Julieanna's yesterday for their monthly tea tasting and some chitchat. Susan, from Over a Teacup, always has a lovely presentation. Yesterday was a rooibos iced tea, or a black mint flavored tea, with mini scones and strawberry cake.

Part of the conversation was a discussion on the upcoming construction at Julieanna. They are planning to put in a kitchen, and rearrange a wall to accommodate seating for tea parties. I know I will be dropping in for tea!!!

Of course, one can't go to Julieanna without browsing, and inevitably, buying!!!! She has everything from teapots, teacups, windchimes, teacup bird feeders, upcycled china, jewelry by Julie, loose leaf teas, and antiques.

Yesterday, I noticed something I had been looking for for a long time, at a reasonable price, and I had to get it! I call it a sewing box - but I am sure there is probably another name for it. The liner looks a little newer than the box itself, and a couple of the jars need to be replaced - but it's mine!It measures 17" x 31" when closed.







One of the jars is kind of neat - it says "hospital size- for hospital use only". Pockets, jars and spool pegs- very cool!!

I also could not resist the calabash pin cushion from Hawaii!!! One can never have enough pin cushions, altho' I am approaching overload at this point!

I even managed to get a few Father's Day goodies at the adjoining bait shop - how convenient was that!!!

If you are ever in Broadway, be sure to check out Julieanna's, and sign up for their mailing list,(join their FB page too) so you won't miss out on the tea classes, tastings and special sales.

    I am looking at the pincushion and thinking I have some fabric with that print that I got from Barb in American Samoa!
