I will be hosting a tea later next week, so I headed to T. J. Maxx this weekend in search of some of those pretty cream-colored pumpkins with floral designs on them. They were all the rage last year, but alas, I didn't find a single one at T. J. So I headed next door to Michaels, and they didn't have any either, but they did have this cute pumpkin-shaped glass mug on sale for 60 percent off. It seems so fitting for my pumpkin spice tea!
Isn't it funny that it's just the middle of September and we've already reached the 60-percent-off phase with the Heirloom Harvest collection at Michaels? With my senior discount, I got both the mug ($5.40) and a cute pumpkin-shaped glass container ($3.60) for under $10, so yippee!
That purple and lime-green Halloween décor isn't anything I can ever imagine using for teatime, but a glass pumpkin about the size of a sugar bowl? Yes, thank you very much, and I will use it for whipped cream or honey or sugar cubes or something at teatime. Since these are already marked down so much, I wanted to go ahead and mention them now in case you're interested, because you know the Christmas décor will be going up any minute now!
Those mugs are perfect for your pumpkin spice tea, and I think whipped honey (or anything else you choose) would be beautiful in that lidded pumpkin.
