Of Habits and Tea.....

I realised just the other day, and I suppose I should have registered this some time ago, that for years, I have had tea at my home from only one, English Fine Bone China teacup....

 

I cannot recall how I came to acquire it, it was that long ago. I has moved with me from home to home, through law school and I am trying to remember, I might have had it with me as long ago as graduate school....

I have used it so much the goldleaf has rubbed off on my lips..

Its style is a lot more romantic than the objects I surround myself with these days (putti? - it's an otherwise-putto-free household with Kevin) but somehow, I am convinced that tea tastes better in this little blue/lavender vessel. And the tea? it's my recent favourite - Lavender Earl Grey from the Lavender Barn.

Mermaid Colours

I call these Mermaid colours...not sure why...I always have....
maybe, as a little girl, I imagined these are the hues a mermaid would choose to decorate
her ocean-bottom home...~~~~~~

These items, from some super Etsy sellers, truly spoke to me....and now I offer them to you!
Enjoy!
