Pearls and Roses Centerpiece

Many of you know my sister was married earlier this year. I co-hosted the bridal shower for her in February with my best friend. The shower was held in St. Louis at a very large church which had a closet crammed with seasonal decorations. We had little time for setting up the evening of the shower. I dashed to the closet and gathered a few items: stringed pearls, ivory rose petals, various peony and rose blossoms. This is what I came up with. My sister was pleased.

Tea for One

Does it really stack neatly?

Yes, it really does.

Mini Tea Stash

When a co-worker returned from a spring excursion to England recently, she brought back a few small tea tins. This phone booth tin contains loose tea leaves. How nice! I think I'll save them for a future trip. Just the right amount to take along to see friends or family on a week-end get-away.
