An estate sale find from a friend


My friend Patti told me she had something for me that she'd found at an estate sale, and she left it at the welcome center of our church for me to pick up. I figured it was probably a teacup or teapot, but when I spotted the package with my name on it, this was inside!


I've never had a tea brick before and was delighted to receive this one!


The close-up detail was incredible, and I can hardly believe this is actually pressed tea leaves. I'm kind of glad it came from an estate sale, because if it were brand-new, I'd be tempted to break off a piece and brew it.


And Patti also included this cute container of teapot cookie cutters. I have lots of these cookie cutters, but I didn't have this set, so yippee! Question: Do any of you know if it's okay to display a tea brick on a stand? The internet says you can, and it's awfully sturdy, but I sure don't want it to fall apart!
