A new handmade mug

At the beginning of the month, I attended the local Potters Guild Fall Sale. The show was super busy with lots of people, so I didn't get a chance to take any photos.

 

 

I couldn't resist bringing this charming ceramic mug home. I love the 3D flower!

 

 

This "Healing Flower" mug was handmade by Genie Kim.

 It's not fall season without some pumpkin spice varieties!

Thank you, Kitty, for these delicious pumpkin teas!

A Belated Birthday Present

A few weeks ago, I met up with a childhood friend who I hadn't seen in years. She missed my birthday party in January 2020 because of a snowstorm (one of the hazards of having a January birthday), and then the pandemic and life happened...

When finally got together last month, she brought my 2020 birthday gift, which I had totally forgotten about! Even though my friend and I hadn't seen each other in years, we picked up right where we left off!

 

 

I was delighted to receive this beautiful vintage bone china teacup.

 

 

This dainty teacup is part of Royal Albert's "Summertime Series".

Halloween Mugs

I thought my house was haunted

I used to live with ghosts.

Afternoon Tea at the RBG Tea House in the Fall

Last weekend, I had afternoon tea at the Royal Botanical Gardens' Tea House.

 

 

The "Manor Classic Tea Tower" for 3 people

 

 

I enjoyed the RBG's Royal Blend Tea, a floral rooibos blend that was inspired by the Rose Garden in Hendrie Park. 

Fall Teas: Cardamom Blends

 Happy Thanksgiving to my Canadian friends!

 

 

I'm always thankful for the visits and comments left on my blog.

 

 

I've been on the hunt for a creamy cardamom black tea and this Monarch Tea. Co's blend was everything I wanted and more!

 

 

DavidsTea's Cardamom French Toast black tea is one of my favourite cardamom blends.
