Tea party!

My great grandparents were from Scotland and drank tea with every meal, and then some: breakfast, lunch, "tea time," and dinner.  I grew up loving tea: I've been drinking it since I was three years old.  (Well, to be fair, it was 1/4 tea and 3/4 milk in a juice glass.)  Great Grannie had the loveliest tea cups and saucers, no two the same.  She had three miniature cups and saucers that us great grandkids were allowed once we were deemed old - and careful - enough.  She treasured those tea cups so much that it was an honour to receive one as a gift upon graduating high school (so imagine how amazed I was to get her entire collection when she passed away).



This lovely 9-piece set comes with a decorative box for storage.




Great Grannie liked to crochet her tea cozies, but I love the pattern and colours on this one.  Plus, I couldn't crochet to save my life.  But I can shop like a mofo!  ;)  *cough* Sorry, Great Grannie.




Gorgeous!  Reminds me of one I have at home!




Okay, I know this isn't *directly* related to tea drinking, but it's still cute!

There's nothing a good cup of tea can't solve, really.  <3
