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!

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?

Irish Breakfast Tea in a clover teacup

In honour of St. Patrick's Day (March 17th), I'm sharing this vintage Queen Anne teacup (circa 1960s) decorated with yellow flowers and green clovers.

 

 

Of course, I'm sipping Irish Breakfast in this charming teacup!
