Teacup love

Remember those T2 teacups I went crazy about not long ago? Well of course I dashed out to get one - understandably I couldn't rely on the bf to move fast enough ;-)

I was super disappointed to find the one/s I liked had sold out locally but one lovely assistant told me about a few teacups from last season (???) that someone had put on layby 6 months ago and never picked up so asked if I wanted to see them. Of course I said yes!! And it turned out it was love at first sight! I bought two, one blue and one yellow which I'll have to show you another time.

LOVE teacups, love these ones! Did anyone else get any and what did you get?

Tea and a little Q+A

{Image 1}

Lovely Shawna from Poppies and Sunshine, and Amanda from Homely One tagged me in a little Q&A recently. It took some thinking but I finally managed to do it! You may want to make a cup of tea for this one as it's a long one! :-)

1. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?
I'm already living somewhere quite spectacular which isn't my original place of residence but if I could choose somewhere other than Sydney it would be a toss up between New York and Provence in the south of France. Two polar opposites!

2. What is your favorite band/singer?
Too many but I want to share Adiemus with you. It might not be everyone's cup of tea but I adore this track. It makes my spine tingle and often makes me cry! The music is by the legend, Karl Jenkins. His music is hard to define but for me it feels very wordly which is what I love.

3. If you could be someone else for a day who would it be?
Haha, I really don't know the answer to that one. When I was a teen I desperately wanted to be Baby Spice or just an additional Spice Girl, lol! (The BF really takes the mickey with my previous taste in music). Hmmm, I'd probably want to be an actress and a really good ice skater!

4. Concert or Broadway show?
Hmmm, both! They both have their merits and it totally depends on my mood! I used to play in an orchestra so I always have a soft spot for concerts. I love ballet too!

5. Do you have a theme song for your life?
Oh my goodness no! But I'll have to think one up at some point just in case someone makes a movie of my life haha (yeah right)!!

6. Would you choose a fancy dinner at a nice restaurant or a picnic in the park?
Oooh picnic in the park or anywhere outdoors every time. I get taken to fancy restaurants a lot through work but I'm just NOT a fan. A place full of character, unaffected staff, good manners, company and hearty food is what I appreciate and value most when I eat out.

7. What is your favorite place to shop?
There are some lovely gift shops I love around Sydney some of which are fair trade and ethical which I'm very supportive of . When you go to a country where families are paid $4 a year for a beautifully woven Ikat (I know these are very popular in interior design at the moment) then you begin to reassess how you buy things back home. But I favour most my local charity shop, the markets and I'm glued to Gumtree.

8. Favorite movie?
My favourite movie? Arghhh there are so many! Amelie and Micmacs are two that stand out. I love them because they are light hearted and quirky but yet deal with very real life matters.

A big thank you to Shawna from Poppies and Sunshine too for her Sweet Blog Award and Bren from Chasing Beauty for her blog lovin award! Please check out their gorgeous blogs, they provide so much inspiration daily!

Hope everyone is having a pleasant week so far! :-)

Wednesday's wish list ♥

I know I haven't done a Wednesday's wish list for a while...but I just had to blog about these gorgeous tea cups and saucers (I have an obsession with them) from T2.

I've seen them before but I think they discontinued the line for a while so now they are back on my wish list, quite close to the top in fact...

Hmmm....maybe if I leave the computer on this page the BF might get the hint. What do you think? ;-) I still have that T2 loose leaf tea to finish up and a stunning cup and saucer would be the perfect complement. Hint, hint!!

A beautiful tea party

I would love to be here today eating cupcakes and cookies, drinking tea, laughing, chatting!

We have a long weekend this weekend much to my delight. I'm really in need of it as the last fortnight has been immense! We were going to go away somewhere but never got organised enough so we're going to enjoy some lovely 'down time' in our beautiful city :-)

Oh, and I'm going to be snuggling up with Cheap Chic - stay tuned for the first installment!

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!!

Tea for two

{Image 1, 2}

Some friends of ours gave us some T2 selection boxes of loose leaf tea on the weekend. They choose this gift because, how sweet is this, I'm English, lol! There's a whole array of delicious flavours to choose from for you and your tea buddy. Sencha, China Jasmine, Oolong, Gorgeous Geisha and Red Fancy Fruit to name a few.

What to choose? I know, hard isn’t it! Decisions, decisions!

I’m having a busy time at work this week so having a lovely soothing cup of ‘treat’ tea when I come home actually is important at the moment!

Last night we had Lemongrass and Ginger, tonight I think I might go for Sleep Tight, I could do with a good rest! Really looking forward to the weekend...
