Tea for...Me

I love tea. Wally world, was out of Great Value decaf (I am a serious light weight when it comes to caffeine) black tea. So I looked for the next cheapest thing, and Tetly was it. I love the little round pillow. It doesn't hit my tea button, its a close 2nd (or 3rd- still searching for a good decaf black). Drinking tea for me is mostly about capturing a flavor memory. I have two that are my favorite. Black tea because my Grma Lois drank black tea, and raspberry tea because it reminds me of Grma Brown (here).
On to the mug. I love simple and pretty. I like old and worn (what my kids call dead people junk). The contemporary mug (Jon's Christmas gift from J.J.'s girlfriend) is not me. But I like it. I like the feel of it in my hands, on my lips, and the way it holds the heat. For now I will console myself with its color, black and raspberry.

Oooh...there's nothing like a nice cuppa tea to brighten a girl's day, is there? The pillows are cute! They're really making me want to go to bed though. LOL! :D

I want to come have tea with you and forget my life at the moment. The 2 big dogs just got skunk sprayed. I just want to twitch my disgusted nose and be in Florida on the beach.

Oh, this is my first visit. We should do tea sometime. I have been hooked as a kid, and have a whistling tea kettle so I don't ever forget my mom. We only ever had black tea, but now I am wild and crazy and have green tea, sleepy time, and English morning breakfast tea. Oh, and I want chickens too, but the dogs tend to kill them. We have two we caught at the horse parade "chicken fly", and it's a treat to hear them crow! Thanks for visiting my blog
and commenting on the quilt. I don't really have time to quilt, but now and then it just happens.

Tetley is my favorite tea after loving and leaving English breakfast, green, and Constant Comment and never liking Lipton's I have settled on Tetley's. But I'll take mine regular, not decaf. We bloggers ought to meme our tea cups/ coffee cups. I have a favorite one too. I love yours and the reasons you like it.
