Kicking off iced tea season

Happy Victoria Day to my Canadian friends!

In honour of Queen Victoria, I've displayed my Tower of London teapot (the crown on the lid is so cute!) and Emma Bridgewater crown jar (the bottom part is missing). Of course, the teacups are vintage bone china made in England!

This May long weekend marks the unofficial start of summer in Canada. The weather is FINALLY warming up so I cold brewed my first iced tea of the season!

Teavana's Youthberry is actually a white tea; the pink hue is due to the hibiscus. Its tropical flavour is very refreshing!

My violets started to bloom during the lockdown.

Last week, I shared this unique item that I found at a church sale. 

Many of you guessed that it was a cover of some sort which was half correct...

The crown was part of Emma Bridgewater's 2012 limited edition decorative jar that celebrated Queen Elizabeth's Diamond Jubilee. The commemorative jar was sold for 100 GBP but I only paid 50 cents for my souvenir crown because it was missing the jar bottom!

At the same church sale, I also purchased this James Sadler (Made in England) teapot for $5. I thought that the teapot was lilac in colour, but when I brought it home, it looked more like periwinkle blue. Does it look purple or blue to you?

The last treasure that I scored was this gorgeous embroidery for only $2!

I'd love to have these teapots in my cupboard!
