it's tea time :)

one of my favorite things about fall is drinking warm drinks from huge mugs.
something about warm tea on a cool morning just brings a little peace and joy to my soul.
coffee is pretty yummy as well, but nothing beats a giant mug of slightly sweet lady grey tea.




there is something about china tea cups that makes me feel like i'm taking a trip back in time, drinking tea with the queen or i'm living in a fairy tale. what can i say, i like to play pretend. :)


it is highly likely that the girls in my small group will be receiving something similar to this for christmas. i don't know who wouldn't love a gift like this, and it's so simple to put together. perfect gift for a group!


the ultimate tea pot collection. my heart is melting.

i'm 97% sure i will be having a tea cup display like this in our next apartment. i have the wall already picked out.  what's the point of having cute mugs and containers if you have to keep them behind closed cabinet doors??

cinnamon rolls are the perfect companion for a morning tea party don't you think??
then again, when are cinnamon rolls not perfect??
:)


p.s. i'm participating in my first giveaway! :)

  3. I love tea, so I would love that gift idea. When we finish remodeling our kitchen, I want to have a coffee/tea area in the kitchen because it is such a big part of our lives.

  4. I have been loving bringing hot tea back out too! You are like the second person I have ever known who actually knows what lady grey tea is! The other person and I discovered it together so I am not even sure that counts. Now, I have toask, does it smell like fruity pebbles to you at all? When we tried it, that is the first thing I noticed. The second was that I liked it and would need to stock up ASAP.

  5. I looooooove tea in the fall/winter!! Usually more than coffee, even...I love all the fall flavors that come out, too. Pumpkin spice tea, anyone!?

  11. Your first three pins are my favorite! I have an entire box of my grandma's old teacups sitting in my mom's basement just waiting for me to get a house of my own so I can do something with them!

  14. You are so right - nothing is better than a warm mug of tea on a cool fall day. My favorite tea is a chai tea latte - my mom makes the BEST ones! Mmm :) I love the tea cups you pinned!
