3rd Annual Ginormous High Tea Party at Steve's Teas

Last Saturday, I attended the 3rd Annual Ginormous High Tea Party hosted at Steve's Teas party. 

 

Since the tea room was busy, I didn't get much photos during the party. But you can see the charming decor from my visit back in April.

 

 
The fireplace mantle's elegant fall decor.
 
 
Complimentary cucumber sandwiches and scones with Devonshire cream and jam were offered.
 
There were 3 different teas available:
1) Decaf Caramel Apple Iced Black Tea
2) Cream Earl Grey Black Tea
3) Sweet Chai O'Mine Black Tea (loved the name!) 


 
I brought this pretty pink teacup from my collection to compete in 2024's Fanciest Tea Cup in Brantford, but I didn't win.
 
I enjoyed the Sweet Chai O'Mine Black Tea and Decaf Caramel Apple Iced Black Tea.


 
We loved the delicious scones so much that we purchased some for take-out.
 
 
I also brought home the tasty Apple Cider black tea.


Tea time at home: Scone with the tasty Vanilla Honeybush.

Acquiring a mug on my wish list

Raise your hand if you have a list of teawares that you're in search of (ISO) when you go thrifting.

A few weeks ago, I was at a local thrift store and couldn't believe my eyes when I spotted the DavidsTea watermelon nordic mug on their shelf! I practically skipped to the cash register!

 

The watermelon nordic mug was released several years ago and I always regretted not buying it when it was still available. 


The mug was in pristine condition and came with a stainless steel infuser. It's perfect for my watermelon oolong teas!

 

I also couldn't resist picking up this cute colour-changing parrot mug.

Have you scored any thrifty treasures lately?
