Be sure to visit to see all the teacups on parade!
If you've been visiting with me for any length of time, this may look familiar to you.
Mr. Dragon and I enjoy visiting The Path of Tea.
You pick the cup you'd like to drink your tea from and have a delicious goody, too.
My favorite is the Owl cup.
(Yes, I collect Owls and I'm thinking I collect too many things!)
The owner of The Path of Tea tells a story about a woman who would visit the shop almost everyday when she first opened and would ask if she could buy the Owl tea cup. The owner would tell her No, that she couldn't sell her cups or she would soon have no cups for her customers to drink from and the Owls were particularly difficult to come by.
The woman kept coming in, asking and making offers, until one day she came in and made an offer that the shop owner couldn't refuse!
Along came Christmas, and you can imagine my surprise when I opened the package and found this:
Mr. Dragon found an Owl teapot and tea cups that look exactly like the ones at
The teapot comes with a strainer.
Isn't the Owl cute?!
No wonder I think Mr. Dragon is my Knight in Shining Armor!
We both smile and chuckle when we have tea from this set.
Yes, we still visit The Path of Tea and we need to return soon.
They now have origami lessons once a week!
Wishing you well!

Your owl tea set is adorable - great color and shape. Thanks for the link to The Path of Tea. It looks like a great tea room and I love that everything is organic. Wish there was such a place near me.
Hi Snap,
Thanks for joining my blog.
I am just getting to check out your blog and love this Teacup Tuesday. So sweet... I have inherited some tea cups and vintage greeting cards from my aunt.
The cups and cards change with the seasons and holidays.
Happy Tea Cup Tuesday! I love your tea set..thanks for visiting me today!

Now this is the most unique tea set I have ever seen! It is pretty cute, & your knight in shining armor is a wise owl~
I thought this story was going to end by you telling us it was Mr. Dragon who had wheedled the cup out of The Path of Tea Lady. This was even better though!
Hi: That is the cutest set I have ever seen. It is just adorable. Thank you so much for sharing it. I am sorry for being so late this week. I am glad I got to see these little guys. Have a great week. Blessings, Martha
