Dollar store finds: Tea-themed artwork

 We made it to spring!

This week, I wanted to share some tea-themed artwork that I found at the dollar store!

I found these 8.5" x 8.5" art for $1.25 at Dollar Tree (Canada) last fall. I loved the dainty teacups and thought they were perfect for spring!

At a recent Dollarama visit, I found these 8" x 6" wooden plaques for only $1.25 each. Aren't the succulents beautiful?

At that price, I couldn't resist picking up both the natural wood and white backgrounds!

Have you scored anything at the dollar store recently?

I've been having fun using my Breville Milk Cafe to make tea lattes and tea-infused hot chocolate.

 

 

Coconut Matcha Latte 

 

London Fog Latte

The black tea was grounded into a fine powder so it dissolved directly into the hot water.

I couldn't resist buying this adorable sweater from Ricki's.

The website description said it was a "coffee" sweater, but it's obviously a teacup, right????

A Platinum Jubilee Tea Time

Yesterday, I honoured Queen Elizabeth's 70th anniversary with a special tea time.

I enjoyed a cup of Earl Grey black tea in my Buckingham Platinum teacup by Noritake.

The British classic Earl Grey is reportedly one of the Queen's favourite teas. Taylors of Harrogate has earned a Royal Warrant "as an official supplier to the Prince of Wales."

Last year, my aunt gave me this Diamond Jubilee demitasse that commemorated the Queen's 60th anniversary.

Queen Elizabeth II is the longest reigning British monarch.
