The almost-perfect Lilly Pulitzer tea tumbler

After I left T.J. Maxx with a new Christmas teapot on Saturday, I walked next door to Marshalls and left with the most summery new tea tumbler imaginable, but it was something I had to have because a) I love Lilly Pulitzer's cheerful patterns b) I love roses and c) I love teapots! When I saw this pretty tumbler sitting on a shelf staring at me, I literally stopped in my tracks and pulled out my reading glasses because I thought I was imagining there were teapots on that tumbler. As a longtime Lilly Pulitzer fan, I would certainly have heard if Lilly had introduced a teapot design, wouldn't I?

But indeed there were teapots.

And indeed there were roses.

But the funny thing is, the reason this particular Lilly pattern wasn't on my radar is that it's one of their lines created for a sorority, Delta Zeta. See the little triangle and the Z? Yep. So I, who was never in a sorority, now own a Delta Zeta tea tumbler. But my goodness, isn't this just the cutest thing? Would you have been discouraged from buying it by the sorority connection? If you're a tea fan and happen to have been in Delta Zeta, well, I would HAVE to have one of these if I were you. (But don't pay the $20 they're going for on eBay. Hold out for Marshalls, where I got mine for just $4.99!)

  1. That tumbler is darling and no, the sorority symbols would not deter me a bit at $4.99. Wouldn't pay $20 though! Glad you found it at Marshall's.

  3. Very fun! I didn't really see the symbol at first. I am pretty rural, but the goodies you get in the urban stores makes me want to move...well, sorta...

  4. I didn't see the symbols until you pointed them out. They should make a version without.

  7. I would be tempted at this tumbler. It is so cute and wouldn't have noticed the sorority mark.
