Tea Party

My penpal sent me a teapot! Two teapots, in fact, but Emma and I only needed one for our tea party last Saturday. We made honeybush caramel tea - also a gift from my penpal. I had never heard of it before, but it was delicious. I believe teapots make all tea more delicious. And tiny scones!

Sadly none of the teapot pictures came out (but fret not, there will be more tea parties and more picture opportunities!). But I did get one of the tiny scone peeking out past one of my great-great-aunt's cups.

How beautiful! What an awesome pen pal!

(Heh, okay, so the teacup--which is what I was enthusing over--is one you had from before, but all the same: awesome pen pal!)

It more or less matches the teapot, though! They both have pink flowers. And china is more interesting when it doesn't precisely match, I think.

There is just something so...divine about tea from a teapot, in a china cup, on a saucer.

Yes! Elegant: expressive of a more leisurely world.

It is awesome tea! I'm going to have to look for some more honeybush tea, because it was pretty delicious.

When I have good teapot pictures, I'll definitely post them!

I'm so glad you like it! :) It's also one of my favorite brands and I was happy to share it with you. <3 You can buy their tea from their Web site:

I chose the Holiday Cheer variety pack so I could try their other flavors. :) I originally tried the Dragon Eye Oolong in a local Asian restaurant and fell in love with it! <3 Can't wait to see photos of the tea pots! And thanks for the lovely Thank You note and tea you sent. :)

I believe the newest entry will be Relevant to Your Interests. It's only got a photo of one the teapots, though. The other is at my parent's house, to grace my upcoming Christmas teas.
