I'm sure I must have used up my allotment of blog posts about tea-themed ornaments for the year, so please forgive me for adding just one more. I always love to hear where others find tea ornaments, so I feel compelled to share sources in case one of these ornaments strikes your fancy as well. I found this teacup ornament from Portmeirion at a T.J. Maxx in Kennesaw, and it matches the two teapot ornaments I found at my T.J. Maxx here in Newnan. Sweet!
T.J. was also the source of this Spode ornament.
And thanks to a tip from ParTea lady, I made a point of going through all the blue boxes of Wedgwood ornaments at the Kennesaw Marshalls until I found this Wedgwood teapot ornament, the only one they had! I have been wanting one of these for years.
At an antique mall, I found a 2001 Hallmark teacup ornament in the box. A little online research revealed that Hallmark has made quite a few tea-themed ornaments over the years, and I've collected three so far.
And since Cracker Barrel had teacup ornaments like this last year, I was surprised to find they had some of the same designs this year ...
as well as a new one with Santa in a teacup. Cute!
Finally, this Cracker Barrel ornament isn't tea-themed, but as soon as I saw this angel, it occurred to me my crafty friends might have fun making similar ornaments using vintage handkerchiefs.
Here is the back of the angel, but I think I would probably resist cutting my vintage handkerchiefs. And this weekend, it's finally going to be time to put up my Christmas trees!

What a lovely assortment of ornaments. I particularly like the Wedgewood teapot.
ReplyDeleteFestive! I, too, am a fan of the Wedgewood one.
ReplyDeleteHi, Angela - if there's ever a contest for 'Best Performance by a Specialty Shopper with an eye for the Unique & the Beautiful,' I am going to enter YOU!
ReplyDeleteI love all the ornaments, but, the Wedgewood is so beautiful, it is my favorite too.
By the way, do you remember the Cracker Barrel tea cup & teapot ornaments, from a few years back?
(They had the holly & ivy design, I thought they were very pretty).
I appreciate your shopping tips.
Thanks for sharing, Joanie
You've found many delightful ornaments. I found a set of tiny teacups at a thrift store, actually my daughter spotted them and picked them up for me! She knows how to please her mamma. Thanks for sharing the angel, too. ♥♫
ReplyDeleteThanks Angela for the tips! I did find the teacup ornaments at Cracker Barrel, going to T.J. Max this weekend.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!

What pretty ornaments! And I love your new green holiday blog theme.
ReplyDeleteI have added a couple new ones this year too and will have to share one of these days. My little tea tree is decorated and sitting in my office. Love seeing your ornaments. I do think you win the prize for the most wonderful tea ornaments around.
ReplyDeleteThese are all really lovely ornaments. I have thought of having a "Tea Tree" some day....
ReplyDeleteHugs,
