I've been saving this Buckingham Palace Strawberry and Vanilla Cake afternoon tea for my birthday! A work friend was in London, UK last summer and she said that the tea made her think of me. So she brought it back for me! It was one of the best strawberry teas that I've ever had!

 

 
Teas that I received for my birthday: Tealish herbal teas and some intriguing Adagio Valentine-themed teas.

 

 
I'm excited to try these sugars infused with vanilla, rose, and lavender!

 

 
 How cute are these Winnie-the-Pooh teacup sets?

 

I used a gift card to purchase this reusable bag at Home Sense (aka HomeGoods). The teacup and laptop made me think of my tea blog!


I also used the gift card for this fun and cute Rae Dunn "Happy Birthday" mug!

The friend who gave me the gift card almost bought this mug! But she thought I already had enough mugs and that cupcake wasn't purple...So it was hilarious that I went out and bought the same mug!

I'm blessed to have family and friends who know me so well!

  3. Happy birthday dear Margie. Girl, you are the TEA QUEEN! I visited several tea stores while in the mountains last week. I was AMAZED at the names of so many different types of teas! I didn't buy any...refrained! But I did enjoy a cup or two! LOL! Hugs and blessings, Cindy

  6. A Belated Happy Birthday, Margie! All of your teas sounds so good; especially the Strawberry tea your friend brought you back from the UK! I love your new cup with the cupcake on top; it's adorable! I'm sorry I missed your birthday. I knew it was sometime this month, but I couldn't remember the date. Have a wonderful year ahead!
    Blessings, Sandi
