Have a Cuppa Tea...
I am a coffee in the morning and tea at night type of gal.Any fan of tea knows the second cup with the tea bag is better than the first but what to do with that tea bag while you're enjoying that first cup?Put it one the counter?No,that stains.Put it on a paper towel?No,that's wasteful.Put it on a plate?Gee,a whole plate for a little ole tea bag?That seems excessive.But no!I have these!
Vintage anthropomorphic items can be expensive and I have looked for this set for honestly going on a decade.Either the price was wrong or the quality but I lucked out last week after years of getting outbid on Ebay or my heart sinking when eying a set at an antique mall only to find a handle repaired or a mismatched set.Now I can save my tea bag till I'm ready for another cup in style.
that is really really cute!
ReplyDeleteI have a tea-bag holder very similar to these! My husband hates it - the used teabag really grosses him out while it sits in its little holder. He has banished it to the cupboard. :)
ReplyDeleteOh. My. Goodness. My sis and I found an identical set YEARS ago at a little shop in our hometown for like... $2? Gave it to our mom as she's a big tea drinker. Uses them daily, tho some have been broken and repaired due to drops and bumps on Mom's part. I adore them and have been looking for another set for years too, for myself. Lucky lucky girl! They're adorable.
ReplyDeleteVery cute! And hooray for finally getting your goodie! I hope one day I will find the elusive Boston Terrier spice rack.
ReplyDeleteSweet!

ReplyDeleteOh these are so cute! I'm not a big tea drinker myself but my chap is so maybe i'll have to look out for some for him! x

ReplyDeleteMy parents used to have that set of dishes (tea cup and saucer). Blast from the past.
