2026 Autumn Teawares

The autumn season officially starts tomorrow (Sept 22)!

 

My owl tea cozy is keeping watch over my pumpkin and Anne of Green Gables mugs.

 

Pumpkins and sunflowers are the quintessential autumn decor.

A Vintage Violet Teacup

This week I'm sharing a vintage teacup that a friend gifted me from her collection.

 

 

Purple is my favourite colour so my friend knew that I would love the violets on the teacup! She also gave me this teacup display holder.

 

 

The teacup is too old and fragile to use for hot tea, so I'm only using it as decor. It matches my vintage Sadler violets teapot perfectly!

A new tea cosy

A few weeks ago, I purchased a pretty floral tea cosy at a neighbourhood garage sale.

 

 

The tea cosy was in pristine condition and only $2 CAD!

 

The tea cosy was smaller than I had expected, but it fits the single cup teapots.

 

The tea cosy is also perfect for the tea for one pots!

Teawares in the Garden

It's tea time in my front garden!

 

 

My teacup and teapot planters

 

 

 

Old teacups or teapots--that are cracked or no longer functional--also add some whimsy to my garden!

Welcoming June!

 We made it to June!

 

Summer vibes: My vintage Sadler basketweave teawares decorated with cheery flowers.

Now that the temperatures are finally warming up, I've been enjoying some cold-brewed teas.

Tea-themed Birthday Presents: Part 2

This week, I'm sharing some more unique tea-themed gifts that I received for my birthday a few weeks ago.

 

This coin purse has a cute design: a pretty floral mug sits on a stack of books (Pride and Prejudice, Alice in Wonderland & Through the Looking Glass, Little Women).

This fruit-themed teapot is perfect for spring!

It's officially pumpkin spice season!

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

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?

Strawberry Teacups and Teas

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