Tea and thrifty are on my mind right now as a friend is throwing a tea party fundraiser for charity and I'm helping out with the decorations so last week I hit up a local thrift shop and just by sheer luck they were having a 1/2 price sale on all household items. I got two very nice tea pots that I'm going to use as flower vases plus a couple of large heavy silver trays for displaying treats. It's amazing what you can find. <br /><br />I love the tea press you found. I've got so many loose leaf teas and that would be a great way to prepare it.Elizabeth D.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7132521194361824092.post-20664806423608532032014-03-24T21:16:42.333-04:002014-03-24T21:16:42.333-04:00Thanks Diann! :)Thanks Diann! :)JoKnowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10282621916141807042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7132521194361824092.post-29499409890535531542014-03-24T21:16:28.828-04:002014-03-24T21:16:28.828-04:00We use a Keurig for coffee - mostly for guests.

Your fabric looks very early summery with the strawberries and is reminding me of picnics! I enjoyed your beach photos too - pure Canadian - did the kids pour some maple syrup on the snow to really immerse themselves in winter/spring? ;) Wendy xSeptember Violetshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10931133319044031928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7132521194361824092.post-83437169699472692492014-03-17T10:44:56.270-04:002014-03-17T10:44:56.270-04:00Hmm...I'm not much of a coffee drinker so I ha...Hmm...I'm not much of a coffee drinker so I hadn't thought of it.
