February has arrived.
Did you say Rabbit Rabbit on the first?
It is a common British superstition which states that a person should say or repeat the word "rabbit" or "rabbits", or "white rabbits", or some combination of these elements out loud upon waking on the first day of the month, because doing so will ensure good luck for the duration of that month (from Wikipedia).
Or, in Downton Abbey fashion, did you say Bad Harvest?!

The snowmen that I've been looking at every morning in January have been replaced.
I love Emma Bridgewater and it's so much fun to bring out my heart teapot and mugs made by Emma. Emma Bridgewater is a British ceramics manufacturer founded in 1985, owned and run by Emma Rice nee Bridgewater and Matthew Rice. Noted for their polka dot design among others, Emma Bridgewater specializes in pottery with motifs drawing on techniques stretching back over 200 years. The company is one of the largest pottery manufacturers based entirely in the UK, with all of its products made in its factory in the city of Stoke-on-Trent. Emma started the company when she went looking for a birthday present for her mother. She wanted to buy and cup and saucer but couldn't find anything she liked, so she created her own. And I'm sure glad she did!
Every one should have a tea mug that says Peace and Love and Tea!
I have some Rose Petal Tea by the Republic of Tea that I think will be a very nice way to start the month of February.
It says its a "Tea for The Queen of Hearts".
I don't know about being the Queen of Hearts,
but I am the Queen of this house!
"This royal tea blend has the light spice of delicate, young rose buds and petals atop the sweet fullness of China Black Tea. This Victorian tradition is perfect served in fine china cups for kings, queens, friends and loved ones."
I think it will taste very good served in my Emma mugs, too!
Wishing YOU well, much joy and a delightful cup of tea!

I think anything would taste wonderful in those beautiful mugs. I click onto the Bridgewater site and admire the pieces. I tell myself that I should wait for another holiday in the UK and bring some mugs home as a souvenir. I love those hearts!

Just had my morning cuppa from an Emma mug! I love her things. We visited the factory last year, it was fascinating. xx
ReplyDeleteA lovely start for February with the pretty heart tea pot. I love rose petal anything and I have rose petal tea in the pantry, thanks for inspiring me. Time to set up a little tea party here.
ReplyDeleteHave a great month of celebrations……….
About the only thing I've done for February is put a heart shaped wreath on my door. I love your Emma Bridgewater heart teapot and cups, and that tea sounds delicious.
ReplyDeleteDear Snap:
ReplyDeleteThat is a darling teaset that I have seen Susan Branch sell on her site! I am responding to your link from the grocery store as we closed o n our retirement house in Missouri on Friday. It has been a lot of work. We go back to Co tomorrow to work some more. We heard there is 12" of snow there. Thank you for sharing Snap!
The the hearts - I need a tea set like that. Guess it is too late for my rabbit rabbit.
ReplyDeleteI guess you are drinking a HEART-y tea! <3 :) Hee hee couldn't resist. LOVEly!! xoxoxRoo
ReplyDeleteSuch a cozy corner with either snowmen or with a lovely Valentine tea theme. I really like Emma's designs, too. Very cheerful!
ReplyDeleteMy goodness but the rosebud tea intriguing. Must give it a try! And, no, I didn't say, Rabbit, rabbit earlier this week! Hoping you a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteI love that sweet heart teapot! I wish I could ever find one around.
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's my friend.
Enjoy your weekend.
