A pop quiz!

Today's blog post is something of a pop quiz with a pop-up giveaway attached. For those of you who've been reading this blog for more than a year, this should be easy peasy! Okay, here is a tin of Pumpkin Spice Tea from Harney & Sons, right?

Wrong. It's actually an empty tin of Pumpkin Spice Tea. But why do I save my tea tins, especially at this time of year? It's something I've mentioned several times before. If you remember, leave your answer below, and tomorrow I'll select a winner from all (or any) correct entries. The gift will be a nice teatime surprise, something I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy having!

  1. Hi Angela,
    I believe you use your tins for storing your Christmas tea ornaments. Almost time to unpack them! Such a great way to recycle.

  4. Ditto what Mary Jane & Margie said! I enjoy seeing your tea ornament tree each year.

    I reuse my tins for storing loose teas, infusers, and strainers.

  7. You keep your tea-themed Christmas ornaments in them, which I think is a wonderful idea.

  8. I was under the impression that you were going to try making a candle in an empty tea tin?

  11. Love tins and you use your tins for ornament storage (me too!) I enjoy seeing how the artwork changes, over the years.

    From my "Missouri years," I have some interesting tins, ranging from type writer ribbon tins, wine bottle tins and tiny "miniature" cigars (limited edition tins) that are a perfect size for desk supplies. For me, each tin tells a story and brings back so many memories, just like your knick-knack story. Have a great day, Joanie

  12. I think I've read that you use them to store Christmas "tea" ornaments. I love my Harney tins and store all kinds of things in them...electronic chords, cupcake liners, etc. Thanks for the giveaway! dmskrug3(at)hotmail(dot)com

  13. I remember you included the 'fall' color tins on your tea trolley for added autumnal decor ...

    1. HI Angela. Yes I do remember the pretty tea trolley for fall with tea tins too - but I love your idea about storing delicate tea ornaments inside. I just wish all tea tins today were tin - some are only cardboard - so disappointing! Please include me in the giveaway. Sounds fun. Thanks.
