2025 Fall Decor

 Happy First Day of Fall!

 

 

It's officially pumpkin spice season!

 

 

 

Pumpkins and Sunflowers

 

 

 

Of course it's not fall without some brown teawares!

A new teapot keychain

When thatteafreak recently shared the cutest teapot keychain on her Instagram account, I ran to my local Dollarama to find one.

 

This adorable mini teapot keychain ($3.25 CAD) is similar to the cu-teas plushies that I rescued at Dollarama earlier this year.

 

It makes me smile every time I see the adorable teapot keychain hanging on my purse!

A new blanket for fall

I'm a huge fan of the TV show, Gilmore Girls, so I've been keeping an eye out for their plush blankets at the TJ Max stores since last year. I was beyond thrilled when I finally found a Gilmore Girls blanket at Winners several weeks ago!

 

 

The blanket is super soft and and big enough to cover a loveseat.

 

 

Lorelai and Rory Gilmore were huge coffee drinkers. But I'm going to pretend these are teacups.

Black teacups for the fall

 

 Have you started decorating for the cozy fall season?

Tyrrell Tea by Tea...Indeed

 Hello, September!

 

 

 

Last month, my friend visited Drumheller, Alberta and brought me back Tea...Indeed's "Tyrrell Tea", a black tea blend inspired by the Royal Tyrrell Museum which features one of the world's largest collections of dinosaurs. 

 

It's a tasty Earl Grey blend with hibiscus flowers. Of course, I had to drink it in my handmade "Tea-Rex" mug!

 

I visited the Royal Tyrrell Museum in 2014.
 

 

"Black Beauty" was one of the best preserved Tyrannosaurus Rex skulls every found.

Come Shop with Me at HomeSense: Summer Edition

I spotted some fun tea-themed items at HomeSense (aka HomeGoods) recently.

These elegant white with gold trim dishes would be perfect for a shabby chic tearoom.

Thai-Inspired Brunch in Toronto

Last week, I met up with up a friend for brunch at Le Lert, a Thai restaurant in Toronto.

 

 

The decor at Le Lert was beautiful. I especially loved this mosaic wall...

 

 

...which featured teapots, teacups, and saucers!

  

 

What a wonderful way to repurpose teawares!

 

 

I had this delicious Holy Basil-Grilled Pork Benedict.

 

 

Before heading home, we picked up some yummy Isabella's mochi donuts. I had the Matcha Brownie (right), while my friend had the Lemon Earl Grey (left).

Strawberry Teacups and Teas

 It's strawberry season!

 

I thrifted these charming Cath Kidston strawberry teacups and saucer a few years ago.

A couple of months ago, I found 3 gorgeous Aysnley teacups at a church rummage sale.

 

 

Aynsley Teacup #1

 

 

Aynsley Teacup #2

 

 

Aynsley Teacup #3

 

I love the teacups' elegant sage green colour and gold filigree design which blend together beautifully!

Teas for Canada Day

When my brother came home for a brief visit, he brought some new teas from a Canadian-owned tea shop, Totalitea, that will be perfect for celebrating Canada Day (July 1).

 

Totalitea #1: Chinook Breeze green tea had blue pea flowers that made the tea looked blue.

 

 

Totalitea #2: Rocky Mountain Herbs herbal tea

 

 

Totalitea #3: Nanaimo Bar black tea was enjoyed with a cookie inspired by the same Canadian dessert!

First cold-brewed tea of the summer!

Did you know that June is National Iced Tea Month?

 

 

On the first day of summer, I enjoyed this tasty cold-brewed Raspberry Lemon Verbena herbal tea.

 

This cold-brewed Cactus Rose green tea was another refreshing summer beverage.

I'll definitely be drinking lots of cold-brewed teas to stay in cool this heat wave!

A Royal Albert OCR teapot ornament

This week I'm sharing another treasure that I found at a church rummage sale recently.

 

 

This Royal Albert Old Country Roses teapot ornament was only $5!

 

 

I can't wait to hang this beauty on my tea-themed Christmas tree this year!

A black and gold Paragold teacup

This week, I'm sharing a vintage Paragon teacup that I recently purchased at a church "Teas and Treasures" sale for only $3!

 

 

The elegant gold and black design caught my eye.

 

 

I have a weakness for teacups that are decorated inside.
