Always Tea Time


Want to have your favorite teacup with you always? Aren't as thrilled about carrying it around like Lady Gaga? Here's a great alternative. A wonderful shop on Etsy called StayGoldMaryRose makes teacup bracelets! Each one is made from a vintage teacup. How freaking adorable!

T is for Teapot

If I were ever to have children, they would never have a chance against my obsession for tea... Think of all the adorable possibilities!

I'm a little teapot,
Short and stout,
Here is my handle (one hand on hip),
Here is my spout (other arm out straight),
When I get all steamed up,
Hear me shout,
Tip me over and pour me out! (lean over toward spout)

I'm a very special teapot,
Yes, it's true,
Here's an example of what I can do,
I can turn my handle into a spout,
Tip me over and pour me out!

Green Tea Wedding

It has been a little over a month since my marriage and seeing as how I definitely incorporated tea into the wedding, I figured I should probably show some photos. :)






Joey and I planned the wedding entirely on our own. A large portion of it was DIY, so of course somewhere along the way we decided on tea influences. We made our favors and they included a tin full of loose leaf tea and two candies that were tea flavored. Joey and I hunted through tons of used book stores for green and black books, which ended up being one of my favorite wedding projects. Also, my sister and I painted some of the tea pots... it was a lot harder than you would expect. Unfortunately, I did not get a picture of my cupcake stands which I made out of alternating plates and upside down tea cups. They turned out very cute.

I definitely recommend personalizing your wedding if you plan on getting married! Tons of people commented on how nice it was to have the wedding reflect us as a couple.
