In keeping with the world wide obsession with all things Royal this week, I have decided to celebrate something wholeheartedly English… Tea! I love tea, as my collection of teapots can attest, so I thought I would share a few tea related items with you today. Each would make a great gift for any upcoming wedding (even if your invite to Friday’s main event *did* get lost in the mail.. just like mine!). No vow-swapping events in your near future? You may wind up wanting one for yourself!
- What’s mine is yours? hmmm… maybe not when it comes to your favorite beverage!
<image source> This set from Vancouver’s Petrulia finds a nice balance between “couple-y” and “personal space”… love it! Also, everything in the shop is recycled/reclaimed and then given a new (and beautiful) lease on life with handpainted designs.
oooh... this would be a perfect addition to my collection!
<image source> This hand-thrown set from Chalk and Mud has such a beautiful blue colour. It would be a lovely accent to almost any kitchen.
You could say this one is just about Purr-fect... (*groan*)
<image source> This unique wavy piece is courtesy of Caroline Bousquet from Montreal. I think the shape is appealing, and the mischievous cat makes me chuckle. Caroline also has some great hand painted glass items in her shop, including this super-cute turtle that stole my heart.
No matter if you are a tea fanatic, a coffee aficionado, or a hot chocolate chugger, everyone can appreciate a little bit of style and fun when you are sipping your drink of choice!

*My mother swears that the number of teapots you receive at your wedding symbolizes how many children you will have. Has anyone else heard of this before? Or is she just wishful thinking? (We got *five* at our wedding, and I treasure them… but not sure that I need a kiddo for each!)
I got 0 teapots and have 1 child so far so you can stop panicking!
