Tea Empties

 I can't believe that it's May!

 

April tea empties

 

What I will restock
1. Dessert by Deb's Vanilla Pear Winter Cake rooibos 

 

Do you remember the Oriental lilies that I purchased in late March?

 

I was thrilled when the lilies started to bloom in mid-April!

 

 

But then the leaves started to fall off and the remaining buds started to turn brown...

 

Maybe I watered the lilies too much? 

Lavender Earl Grey Teas

This week I'm sharing the different Lavender Earl Grey blends that I enjoyed recently.

 

 

Black Tea #1: Dessert by Deb's Lavender London Fog

 

Black Tea #2: Canmore Tea Company's Versailles Lavender Earl Grey

 

 

Black Tea #3: Jolene's Lavender Earl Grey

Dessert by Deb's Lavender London Fog was my fave because it had the strongest lavender notes. The bergamot was the dominant flavour in the Canmore and Jolene's blends so they tasted more like a regular Earl Grey.

 

A friend gifted me this Lavender London Fog lip balm by Moody Bee.

A Colclough Teacup

My office recently had a "Swap Fair" where people brought in items from home that they no longer want for other folks to snag. I happened to be working at home that day, but when a co-worker alerted me that someone had brought in some teacups, I rushed in to the office!

 

This vintage Colclough bone china teacup is one of the teacups that I rescued from the Swap Fair.

 

It's hard to tell from the photo, but I think the teacup is a very light cream/yellow colour.

 

The individual who brought in the teacups were happy to hear that they were going to a good home! 

HomeSense Haul

At a recent visit to HomeSense (a TJMaxx store), I spotted some cute tea-themed items.

 

 

I've always been a fan of HomeSense's reusable bags' designs. This particular bag screams spring. Of course I had to get it because of the teapot and teacup!

 

 

 

I also couldn't resist this adorable reusable bag featuring whimsical teapots.

 

 

Another great find: this tea towel decorated with pretty teacups.

 

 

This charming tea towel set also came home with me!

Easter Teas and Treats

 Happy Easter!

 

 

Easter Tea #1: Dessert by Deb's Malted Chocolate Shake black tea

 

 

Easter Tea #2: Dessert  by Deb's Chocolate Lavender Truffles black tea

 

 

Easter Tea #3: Dessert by Deb's Farmhouse Apple Peach Cider Fritters rooibos

 

 

The mini eggs cannoli and donut were the perfect accompaniment to the Easter teas!

What I've restocked:
a) Geek+Tea's As You Wish black tea 

 

I purchased this Oriental lily from my church's Easter flower market. I look forward to seeing it bloom!

 

Wishing you a Blessed Holy Week!

Tea Pouches

Several months ago, I purchased these beautiful zippered pouches from a local handmade store.

 

 

I just couldn't resist the gorgeous tea design!

 

 

The pouches are big enough to store teabags and loose leaf teas while travelling.

 

How would you use the pouches?
