Tea for Tuesday

On occasional Tuesdays I'll be featuring a vignette of tea-related items.  Most of them will have one of my teapots; they all have at least one thing you could use at a tea party.

Well, why not keep the bear theme going this week?  A sort of Christmasy-feeling bear, at that.  This bear used to hang out with these friends, but lately it ditched them for Bearly Winter.  I think he feels more at home this way, though.

Last week at a thrift store, I found some really cute bear things (not ready to disclose yet) that I think I'll display with the quilt instead.   Once I figure out how to make some of them stand up, I'll show you the whole arrangement.

Celestial Seasonings Sleepytime tea is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year.  These cups were big in the 1970s, but I got it at a vintage store in the last year or two.  However, back in the 1970s I sent in for one of their tins and I still have it.  A little bit rusty now!

I wish I had a radio like this bear has...
