I've no idea where you've found most of these tea inspired treats from, but I love them all!

Thanks Big City Bumpkin - I've really enjoyed hunting them all down. Needless to say, at the risk of drowning in a sea of tea-cups, I've unearthed enough material to go on for weeks. I'm actually working on my last-burst of tea activity right now! And then, I'll rest. At last xx

DRIPS and LIPS - oh my! I'm all about it!

I LOVE THEM. So sloppy and sexy and cool. A tea cup, all those things? It is! They are.

I love lip prints on things as well and other than Tatty Devine I have a hard time finding lip prints anywhere but discarded 1980s sweatshirts covered in puffy paint. Shame. Rock on, top bird. Hope all is well with you. xx CB's JG
