Spring Peace- A beautiful collection that I was featured in

Hey everyone,

This week one of my tea cups of featured in a really beautiful Etsy treasury collection by an artist called Caroline who is from Canada. The collection's theme is Spring (if you didn't guess that already hehe!)  I really love the colours and it reminds me of that lovely fresh air and spring blooms which you get at this time of year  so I thought I would share it with you all.

All items are avaliable to buy on Etsy.

Big thanks to Caroline for featuring me :)

Hope you enjoy reading this post :) 


The history and customs of high tea

So who would like some high tea !? Have your's from a beautiful vintage teacup (all made in England) Please take a look at the link above to see the tea cups I currently have listed in my shop.

Would love to hear from people from other countries to hear what their tea time is like and if they have any different ettiquette for tea or traditions :) would be fun to hear so please let me know in the comments below.

Have a great day :)

New things!!!!

Hello everyone :) !

Hope that you have been having a wonderful day and that this week is a good week for you all. Today I have to admit I have been having a rather lazy day! I spent the day sitting out in the sunshine with family and friends and drinking lots of tea and then cooked an amazing Thai curry for supper :).

My lazy day today makes up for my day on Sunday, although supposed to be a day of rest I was super busy! I woke up early and decided to have a change around of the living room. You know one of those ideas which seems like a really good idea but half way through isn't?! Well I managed to break the TV aeriel and so have been without television until this evening! It took me forever to make it work again. I wouldn't normally mind as I don't really watch that much TV anyway but at the moment the Paralympics are on so I have been so annoyed that I have been missing bits. I have been reading the news and twitter to try and keep up to date and watched some clips online on the news sites but its not quite the same!

I also photographed lots of my new vintage stock which was exciting :) and have loaded some new items to my shop :). It took me the whole day but I am really pleased with the photographs and even took new photographs for some of the stock already listed as I feel the new photos show off my items much better :). I have listed about 6 new items. I thought I would show you a small selection of my new photos and listings. What do you all think ?!

This photo I am particually proud of :) The orchid was for my birthday present :)



This is one of my favourite of the new cups I have listed. The colours just make me want to smile :) ! Listed here




So far all the newly listed tea cups seem to have gone down well and I have had a few likes on facebook and quite a few views and favourites on Etsy which is always lovely :). My pink and white rose teacup has also been featured in a treasury already which is so exciting :) especially as its only been listed for 24 hours!!!

A lady called Ruth has made a beautiful tea themed treasury with some stunning items in it. She certainly has an eye for treasuries and I love every item that she has featured especially the Brighton bus tea cosy!!! Makes me feel at home :) !

Here is Ruth's beautiful treasury (thank you so much for including me!!)




'Time For Tea!' by RuthClare

My hubby and I can't resist a good cuppa, and not only is it tasty and refreshing, it also has health benefits. So I thought I'd celebrate our love of having a good old cuppa with this treasury list. Put your feet up and enjoy!
