The weekend's tea finds

On Saturday I spent the day in the Marietta area shopping with my Aunt Jane. These were the only two tea-related items I picked up, but I love both of them!

First, this dessert/luncheon plate from America's Thrift Stores is just the size I like, 7-1/2 inches in diameter. Wish I had more of these--especially for the 79 cents I paid for this one. Unlike teacups, which demand a bit of storage space, plates are easy to add to a stash. Besides, I like having pretty plates on hand for styling photos, especially when the roses are so pretty. There was no mark on this plate at all, so I'm stumped as to the maker and the pattern.

And although I rediscovered a few lost oven mitts last week, I saw this pretty, thick, teacup and bird design oven mitt at HomeGoods for $4.99 and had to have it. My friend Phyllis recently found some pot holders in this pattern up in Michigan, and I loved the pretty blue print. Have you had any tea shopping success lately?

  1. I love both those items also. I checked out Marshalls and Ross yesterday but did not find anything that I had to have.

  2. I love that little plate! So sweet, and yes, those little plates are fairly easy to store. I was at Home Goods on Barrett Parkway on Saturday, but I never made it to the kitchen linens area. I was quite tempted by all the pretty things there, though. I managed to leave with only what I went there to find, but it was fun to look!

  5. You have the midas touch for finding tea themed things Angela. I looked everywhere when we were in Florida and didn't find anything. Maybe I don't get out enough? :-)

  7. I LOVE the oven mitt! Retail therapy for tea items is so much fun! You are so lucky to find the best stuff!

  8. I think I'll pack my two hot pads that match your mitt, and bring them to Kentucky so they can go home with you. You've been collecting a lot of kitchen accessories in the aqua color, while I don't have anything in that color. 13 days and counting... ;-)

  9. What a beautiful plate! Love the rose. Can't wait until I'm fully recovered and can get back to shopping.

  10. Love your finds.
    Actually, can you believe it, I did find a new tea item at the market on Sunday. It is Chai Masala Popcorn with Assam Tea. It is quite good.
