It was supposed to be just a simple in-and-out trip to Books A Million in Peachtree City to pick up a copy of one of the few magazines I can't find in Newnan. I would dash in through the café, cut to the back where the magazines are, check out and be on my merry way. But no. The café just HAD to have a display of these Tea Lovers Eco Cups in cute patterns with teapot-shaped doodads on them. I mean, really. I've resisted buying one of these ceramic mugs mimicking the look of a to-go cup every time I've seen them so far, even when I spotted pink ones at T.J. Maxx.
But with roses? What rose-crazy tea lover could resist that, I ask you?
And the teapot-shaped doodad? So that bit of $8.99 cuteness was going home with me, no two ways about it. I got home and was getting ready to photograph my new cup when I realized the string of the tag was tangled behind the teapot. That's when it dawned on me the "doodad" is designed to wrap your teabag string around! It was a "duh" moment if ever there was one! If you have a BAM nearby, these come in lots of great patterns, including stripes, funky flowers and even one with a floral pattern reminiscent of Blue Willow. But I'm quite happy with the roses and green teapot design. What a fun find!

That Tea Lovers Eco Cup is really cute. I will be looking for the blue one.
ReplyDeleteThis is great!
ReplyDeleteWow angela, that is wonderful! I especially love the little teapot string holder.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great cup Angela! I've never heard of BAM, I don't think we have them here in California, but I'll keep my eyes peeled at Borders and Barnes & Noble. I love the roses!
ReplyDeleteHow cute is that and so clever.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty cup. The tea tag holder is a great idea.
ReplyDeleteI love it! I can see why you had to have it, I want to get one too. Have a great day, Joanie
ReplyDeleteHow clever! No more handle wrap arounds -- I love it and I love your site, Angela!
