Hi, These teabag holders are so cute....my favorite is the one with the roses :) Of course, lol :) What sweet little kitties you have :) Nice to meet another fellow cat lover.

Happy Teacup Tuesday!

Warmest, Brenda

I like the butterfly one, but I'm flummoxed. What is their function? I just put my bag in hot water and then squeeze it with a spoon before removing it from the cup. Obviously, I'm missing several important steps! Have a good week, Snap. (Mr Dragon is always right...)

Wonderful tea bag holders! I have never seen them before. I will be on the lookout. I will see a few tea shops on vacation. Thanks for stopping by.

Mr. Dragon is right -- those teabag holders are HUGE -- easily triple the normal size! Maybe they are meant to be a "group" teabag holders, LOL!
