A new aquisition!

Hubby bought this for me over the weekend. I had a wheelchair weekend. Lots of pain and inability to walk. Soooo, hubby says we are going to the malls, it is cool in there.
(We are having high 90's in Charleston with heat indicies of 100+)

I have a stop at our most northern mall that is called Gloria Jean's. It is a purveyor of coffee, tea and accoutriments of both.
Hubbers knows the past few months I have been trying to build my teacup collection. I had been in a bidding war on ebay for a shamrock teacup - Beleek, that went up to $50.00 for one teacup and saucer. I had to let it go and pout for a bit hoping that there were going to be more...no such luck so far. Then I found a lady who painted her own teacups, I found a pretty shamrock one on her site but it got sold and she doesn't repeat patterns. Her loss...mine as well.

On our roll around the mall, I wanted to stop in Gloria Jean's for a sneak and peek at all of their individual teacups. They still have the tea set I want to buy my little niecling as soon as she gets a bit older to handle ceramics. hubby handed me a few to look at but he had already got this one down. He said it would make him happy to know while he is at work that I am drinking my tea with my favorite pattern bought by himself.

How can you not love a man like that?

I bought 2 bottled teas today, they are in the fridge getting cold and I hope to critique them later today. The high is suppose to reach 98, so cold tea will be a blessing from the Goddess!

Brightest Tea Blessings!
