Can you imagine?!

So, Tuesday is my birthday. By now, you all know I’m a tad eccentric. What would be my ultimate b-day gift? Well, if you happen to have an extra $85,000.00 lying around you don’t know what to do with, you could always buy me THIS. I am gaga for trolleys. Why? I love old stuff. I really, really love old stuff. Trolleys are great for tricking out in the Steampunk style as they already have great wood panels and brass accessories. This particular trolley comes with a potty. Very important for those of us who suffer from IBS.

Even though it’s called the party trolley, you know what I would do with it. That’s right, it becomes the tea trolley. yeah, baby! There I would go, puttering down the road, ding! ding!, stopping to have tea with people.

Heck, it would just even be a blast to drive the thing!

DING! DING!

Looking for unique ideas for your next tea party? Check out THIS. I have been following Natasha’s creative journey for about a year now. I have always been entertained and amazed at her creativity and, she is genuinely kind and a joy to talk to and has a cutie pie little boy to boot! Why not go, ‘down under’ (she lives in Australia) for some inspiration and a respite from the day?

Hello dear readers. Last week, I received my newsletter from Elizabeth Knight. Elizabeth, for those who don’t know, is an author and speaker specializing in tea. She has a new book out: Celtic Teas with Friends.

If interested, please do visit her site to purchase your own signed copy of her new book.

I purchased a Broyhill chair at a garage sale yesterday. It needs some TLC, but when I’m done, it will go nicely in my office. So for today at least, have a nice cuppa and a cookie and we’ll resume Chesterton next Monday.
Happy Sipping!

It’s a bit over cast and cool today so a nice cuppa and some cookies are in order.

I am sad to tell you, Tasha Tudor has passed away. If you do not know who she is, please take a moment to visit her website, or her memorial website. Among other things, she recently auctioned off a large collection of antique dresses she used to let her friends try on, to their great delight, and I’m sure hers. Tasha was a gifted illustrator, grew her own food, had a small farm, hand dipped her own beez wax candles and always had afternoon tea at 4:00p.m. every day.
