The second church garage sale I went to last month was selling teacups and saucers for only 25 cents each! I was tempted to buy ALL the teacups, but I restrained myself and only brought 4 teacups home with me.

Last month, I was gifted a beautiful vintage linen tea cozy made by the talented Lauren from Wonderfully Made.
I love the pretty design and it fits my different teapots perfectly!

Last weekend, I celebrated the Platinum Jubilee of the Queen with an outdoor tea party hosted by a family friend.
It's been a hot minute since my last Dessert by Deb haul!
Deb never ceases to amaze me with her creative and unique collections. I loved the theme of the spring collection: Picnic Sweets & Treats!
The bonus goodies in my order. Deb surprised me with a couple of sweet surprises!
In addition to the subscriber promos (75g and 100g teas), I received several complimentary tea samples.
When you can't resist ordering the new teas in the spring collection!
What I've already enjoyed from my order:
Top: Almond Peach Galette black tea (left) and Lemon Lavender Spritzer green tea (right)
Bottom: Concord Grape Jelly green tea (left) and Lemongrass Mimosa herbal tea (right)
I also enjoyed the Sakura Strawberry green tea.
This month's tea wagon vignette was inspired by the beautiful towel designed by Deb.

I celebrated International Tea Day (May 21) by drinking a couple of "rare & innovative pure leaf teas from the world’s greatest gardens" in DavidsTea's Garden to Cup collection.
The Organic Thailand Black Tea was a lovely black tea.
Zomba Pearls is a delicate white tea from Malawi, Africa. The women who work in the local tea gardens hand-plucked and rolled the leaf.
I went to this season's first church garage sale with low expectations...and ended up scoring a great haul!
This teacup was matched with a Royal Albert Serena saucer from my collection.
The Easter dish, tea cozy, 2 mugs, and 2 teacups cost me a grand total of seven (7) dollars!
I recently visited the museum exhibit, "Leading Ladies: Early Dundas Women’s Groups”.
