This set is very special to me....I absolutely love it!! I used to work for a not-for-profit and part of my role was providing support to 50 volunteers who used their time to try and improve the health care system for patients in Salford and Trafford. Most of our volunteers didn't have very much money but when Chris and I got married they all clubbed together and bought us this tea set as a wedding present. (I had to try very hard not to cry when they gave us it!!)
This is a tea cup and pot combo (The pot is on the top) and is absolutely perfect for when you fancy a couple of cups of tea but can't be bothered going back to the kitchen to make a second one (Lazy Moi......never!!). When we lived in Manchester I used to fill her up and then sit glued to Saturday Kitchen.....ahhh those where the days!!
Here is another tea cup and pot combo....actually it's more of a tea mug and pot combo and was given to me by my lovely friend Claire for Christmas. I love the colour of it, the design on it and the pot makes the perfect amount of tea for the mug!!
Now, those of you that know me well will know that no kitchen of mine would be complete without something relating to shoes - and here it is!!! This fab tea set was given to us by Chris's Aunt Dot and Uncle Steve - I absolutely adore it (It even came packaged in a shoe box!!) and it just goes to show that you can never have too many shoes!!!
We also like coffee!!
And I couldn't resist showing you this cause I think it's a bit bonkers!! It's a rice wine pot.... and if you look closely you will notice that it has no lid. 'How do you fill it then?' I hear you ask......well, you fill it from the bottom. There is a tube in the middle that stops the liquid from leaking out when you turn it back round the right way.......Ingenious eh!!!
So there you have it......I have now exposed the inside of my kitchen cupboards to you and I tag JJ at Tea Stains, Jen at Spiral Skies and Caroline at In Search Of Adam as I think they will all have rather fab tea cups!!!
