A treasure trove of tea accoutrements!


Last week, I spent a few days visiting my friend Kathy down in Statesboro, and when I settled in at "my" room (featuring beautiful antique iron beds and vintage quilts),  I noticed two full plastic baggies on the bed I always use, and "Angela" was written on one of them. "Is that a tea strainer?" I thought, but I literally plopped my bags down and joined Kathy and her husband, John, in the living room and didn't give it another thought until late that night when I was getting ready for bed. Then, I realized what a treasure trove of tea accessories she was giving me!


I knew she'd been cleaning out for a neighborhood yard sale that's coming up soon, but my goodness, I hit the jackpot! She included tea strainers …


And teaspoons and jam spreaders …


And napkin rings …


And adorable little chair-shaped place card holders, among many other things. Thank goodness I recently bought a fresh jar of Wright's Silver Cream! People don't always love hand-me-downs, but I sure love these!
