Bazaar Times

Last weekend, I had the opportunity to check out the Christmas Bazaar at my parents' church.

I was pleasantly surprised to find numerous gift baskets containing teapots, teacups, infusers and teas...

...and vintage English bone china teacups! 
Be still my heart!

I didn't need any more teawares, but I figured that the $$$ would go to a worthy cause...

...so I brought home this fun basket!
Contents included: a purse, scarf, Frieda Kahlo socks, water bottle, memo pad and chocolates.

The reason I got the basket: My eagle-eye spotted this super cute teapot on this fun purse.

I also couldn't resist bringing home this pretty teacup with a lavender band which is part of the Royal Albert's Gaiety Series - Tango.

Have you shopped for a charity recently?


I'm joining the following parties this week:

  2. Wonderful goodies in your basket, Margie! The new teacup is a pretty one and suits you to a T-ea! Can't ever go wrong with Royal Albert. It's always nice when we can give to a charitable cause.
    I haven't been out and about very much but we did go to S'side last week where we visited a shop. I did come home with a couple of things. Soon the stores will be very busy with Christmas shopping which I will stay away from as I don't like crowds. I will be busy myself with decorating and baking the next little while. Love this new season that's coming upon us quickly! Have a wonderful week, Margie.

  4. I haven't been to any bazaars or craft sales yet, but hope to go to at least one with my daughter. I love that teacup - it's such a pretty shape with an equally pretty pattern. The basket of goodies is lovely. Helping out charity causes this way is a win-win.

  11. Lots of beautiful things for sure and yes, for a good cause. I agree that it makes it better if you know your purchase is helping someone. Those filled teacups would have been my downfall -- so many pretty ones!
