Let's have tea — at Dollar Tree!

Oddly enough, it was through a friend that I learned a new Dollar Tree had opened just around the corner from my house. In my defense, it's in the direction of Peachtree City, not Newnan, so that's why I rarely head that way. Thanks to my now-frequent visits to this store with my aunt, I've become quite a fan of DT and love to stock up on all sorts of things like dishwashing liquid, toothpaste and, of course, books. When I visited this new Dollar Tree this week, I found a few tea-ish things I thought I'd share.

First, I think these little tea sets would make great stocking stuffers. When I saw them, it was a reminder to start shopping for toy tea sets for our local Christmas toy drive for foster children. If I pick up a few of these every time I'm in Dollar Tree, that's a lot of little girls who may be converted to future tea drinkers!

And the other item that made me hit the brakes was this cute box of Disney tissues with a "Tea in the Garden" theme. Funny enough, I'd seen these on my friend Nancy's Rosemary's Sampler blog earlier this week and yes, I coveted her tissues. I admit it. She had said her sister found them at a local dollar store, and I assumed it was some exotic dollar store (is there such a thing?) that we don't have here in Georgia. When I saw this familiar design for just a dollar, it made me so happy I almost cried into my box of tissues!

  1. In today's economy, there is not much you can get for a dollar. I enjoy the Dollar Tree; especially for stocking stuffers.
    Love those little tea sets!! Alas, I have only little boys in the family to buy for. But will pick up some for Toys for Tots.

  2. Crying into the tissues did make me smile. I think you have radar hidden in your hair for all things tea. I go to the stores such as Michael's or the Dollar Store's and never see anything tea. Love the tissues, not so sure about the little tea sets.
