Tea For One




There is a wonderful shop in my Village called The British Isles.
Tea cups and tea pots and tea and tea things everywhere you look.
A feast for tea lovers.
I went in one day with a dear friend and I splurged on a Tea For One.



Nina Campbell Tea for One


There were many tea for ones to pick from,  
but this caught my eye from the start.
It was so different from all the others with its parrots, butterflies and flowers.
Simple and makes me smile!


Nina Campbell Tea for One


It is designed by Nina Campbell for Roy Kirkham.



Nina Campbell Tea for One


Before the Royal Wedding, I checked the British Isles for
Harney and Sons special Wedding Tea blend
and they didn't have any.
But, as you can see, they got more in and I put my new 
Tea for One to work with the Wedding Tea
(black tea, roses and vanilla).


Flowers


Thanks to our tea party hostesses.
These are just a few of the tea parties in the Land of Blog.

Wishing YOU well and a wonderful cup of tea!

What a wonderful pattern! I think it is called Birdcage Walk and is named after an exclusive residential area i London. I was looking at those online to possibly carry themI can see why you splurged! I loved the designer & the pattern! Thanks for your visit as well.

That tea blend sounds wonderful, Snap. I'm having a cup of black tea while I write this. I'll think of you sipping from your new cup in your garden - hope it's finally cool enough to do so!
