Queen of Hearts

It was love at first sight when I saw Classic Coffee & Tea's Inside Out Heart cups and saucers on Angela's blog, Tea With Friends. Alas, the shipping fees from the U.S. were too expensive, so I bided my time until they made their way to a retailer north of the border.

My patience finally paid off last July when I found the Inside Out Heart cups and saucers at Chapters' online bookstore for 75% off the regular price. So this set of 6 multi-coloured cups and saucers with platinum handles only costs me $15 plus tax!

 Just when you think you couldn't be more enamored with the adorable cup and saucer...

...you get a hearty surprise when tea is poured inside the cup! 

I found "Love Me Truly" at HomeSense. I can't resist pretty tea boxes with cute sayings. The Clipper Teas company is from the UK and prides itself in producing "natural, fair & delicious" teas--its organic chai herbal tea definitely was delicious!

The whimsical cups and saucers were used at my office's Valentine Social on Friday the 13th.

The red, pink, and heart-shaped themed sweets.

Put a little love in your heart and the workplace will be a better place!


I'm joining the following parties this week:

  3. Your cups and saucers are too cute, Margie! I'm glad you were able to get them. I love the pink set. I've never thought of checking Indigo {Chapters} on-line for anything other than books. Good idea. What a lovely tea time you set up at work for your co-workers! Thanks for joining me for tea today and enjoy your week.

    Blessings,

  6. Oh how CUTE!

    I had a friend who had those sweet teacups once, she used them at a Valentine Tea - had chocolate mousse in them topped with a raspberry on whipped cream. I thought it was such a neat set - so awesome you got a bunch at such a good price, too! YAY!!!
