A Royal Albert Teacup

 Let's kick off April with a pretty pink floral teacup!

 

I found this vintage Royal Albert bone china teacup at a church rummage sale a few years ago.

 

 

I love teacups that are decorated inside!

 

 

The back design

Church rummage sales season is just around the corner...I look forward to hunting for more teacups!

 The tea-related Easter bunny decor continue to multiply at HomeSense (aka HomeGoods).

 

 

I had to exercise great willpower to leave this Peter Rabbit teacup behind at the store.

There were also some cute bunnies at HomeSense.

 

 

Michael's also had this sweet bunny in a pink teacup...

Five Things in February

 We made it to the last week of February!

 

 

1. Winter really hit us hard this month. Back-to-back winter storms buried us in almost 60 cm (23 inches) of snow--the biggest snowfall that we've seen in years. I drank Murchie's Snowflake black tea in between all the shovelling!

 

 

2. Valentine cards and sweets from work and tea friends.

3. I found this sweet velvet plush blanket at HomeSense (aka HomeGoods in the U.S.). I was sold as soon as I spotted the cute teacups and teabags!

 

 

4. A virtual tea to celebrate a friend's birthday: Chocolate Truffle Cake and Caramel Custard Flan Rooibos (Dessert by Deb)

5. My parents gave me this adorable purple pin. I will strive to "Hold Onto Positivitea" during these tumultuous times.
