You know you have too many teawares when you almost forget about the seasonal tea sets lurking in the cupboard.

1. Hearts Tea Set |
Fortunately, I remembered to bring out this retro Bavarian tea set just before Valentine week!
|
2. "Barrista" socks |
I have a soft spot for funky socks and wear knee-highs (under pants) during these cold winter days. I think the saucers on these super cute socks are supposed to contain coffee, but I'm going to pretend it's tea!
|
3. Savoury scones |
My favourite savoury scone is the bacon, cheddar and chives scones from Jax Sweet Shoppe.
|
4. Easter ornament |
I haven't switched over to the spring/Easter decor yet, but I just couldn't resist this adorable Easter ornament.

5. Starbucks' Honey Citrus Mint Tea |
Last week, I tried Starbucks' Honey Citrus Mint Tea which consisted
of 2 teas (Jade Citrus Mint™ Green Tea and Peach Tranquility® Herbal
Tea), a touch of honey and steamed...lemonade?!?
I guess
the steamed lemonade is no different than lemon with hot water--I
drink this concoction when I'm feeling under the weather. I found that the lemonade dominated the flavour of this tea which might be better as an iced tea.
Have you ever tried blending 2 different teas or teabags?
Margie, your tea set is wonderful for Valentine's Day. I also wear knee-hi socks under my pants but they're plain. The savoury scone sounds good and I know my hubby would sure like it. I used to mix the odd teabags together before I had to drink decaf only. It's a good thing I also drink coffee because I think I would tire of the same teas all the time. It's the last week of February, yay! and I wish you a great week.
ReplyDeleteI love that ❤️ Tea set, Margie, and I'm glad that you remembered it. The socks are so cute and fun. I love warm socks, too. I don't really blend teas, but the one that you drink does sound good. I drink warm water with lemon every morning, before breakfast, with a dash of hot sauce. I hope you're planning your next tea social at work.
ReplyDeleteYour tea set is super cute!Perfect for Valentine's week!Hugs!
ReplyDeleteOf course your would have a sweet set to celebrate Valentine's Day. I knew I could count on you, Margie.

Cute teaset and fun socks too! I love cute socks and just ordered a pair of Pride & Prejudice ones. I love the little Easter ornament. Could you please tell me where you found it?
ReplyDeleteThe tea set is quite adorable! I love having seasonal tea ware. Storage becomes an issue though (and remembering you have the items.)
ReplyDeleteCute socks...I would love to learn how baristas make those designs.
I do want to start blending two varieties of loose teas, not sure about two bags though. Sorry you weren't happy with your results. Lemon can be a dominating flavor.
So glad you remembered your teaset for VAlentine's Day. The little ornament is lovely. Where are you displaying it?
ReplyDeleteLOL glad you remembered you had that set in time to display it! That little ornament is so pretty - I too am anxious to get out the spring decor although it appears spring is going to be very elusive here in the midwest as usual. I mixed some of my dried lavender and chamomile from my garden and that makes a lovely tea. Especially in the winter . . . reminds me of summer :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute coffee/tea set.I also enjoy picking odd sets up just for fun.
ReplyDeleteSeasonal tea ware is lots of fun, although I don't have much of it. I enjoy seeing yours! I'm starting to get into fun socks, and at Christmas I still wear the ones you sent via the tea exchange a couple of years ago!
ReplyDeleteLove your socks, Margie--I wear socks under pants (and long skirts) to keep warm, too. My husband has been drinking his own mix of organic green and a lemon herbal blend.
