Remembering my tea set.

I had a teaset when I was a little girl. It was white with a blue pattern. I think it was flowers but for some reason Holly Hobbie is ringing a bell. I loved my teaset! My brother loved it , too. He loved the crashing noise it made when it hit the pavement in our driveway. He wanted to see if it would break. Alas, no more teaset.
Funnily, a number of women who have been in are reminded of the set they had before their brother smashed it. I have heard a number of stories this week. One lady told me she has her complete set which was given to her by a neighbour. The neighbour had the complete set from when she was a little girl. What a treasure!
While some of the sets we just got in are breakable, a number of them are made of tin. So, they should be safe from the destructive tendancies of siblings. Although, kids an be very creative.

Kids Tea Sets

Two new products arrived yesterday in our food lines. Those who have fallen in love with the Bittersweet Maple Cashew Crackle and the Milk Chocolate Hazelnut crackle will be tempted by our newest edition. Dufflet's Bittersweet Toasted Almond Crackle is yummy, yummy, yummy.

The other new product to arrive is from our

Mrs. Bridges line of preserves and chutneys.

Added to our wonderful goodies from Scotland is a

Strawberry Preserve with Champagne.

A perfect gift for Valentine's Day.

A New Year and a Prize.

It was a busy season here in the shop. We sold out of several teas. Some we are waiting to arrive and others like the Cream Earl Grey are back on the shelf. Our own blends were a great success and I am working on a few more to be released in the next couple of months.

Beehouse teapots were once again the hit of the season and we are patiently waiting the new shipment. New colours to arrive are silver, bronze and antique brown. As soon as they arrive I'll take a pic and post it.

Products that didn't arrive in time for Christmas were the glass teapots and the kids tea sets. The glass teapots arrived the week between Christmas and New Years and the kids tea sets shipped yesterday. Our Britto line arrived after Christmas and are actually a fantastic gift for Valentines Day. They are on display in the window.

Speaking of Valentine's Day we have a limited amount of Chocolate Covered Strawberry tea arriving. This is a black tea base and is a perfect treat for yourself or someone you love.

I am off to a buying show in February but have already placed orders for some fantastic spring lines.
