Savannah Tea Things

One of the pleasures of vacationing to me is looking for tea things to bring home.  It is fun to be reminded of your trip, as you are enjoying your purchases later.

It was disappointing that all the cups and saucers that I found in Savannah antique shops were too pricey, but I did manage to find a lovely Portmeirion Studio tea mug for only .55 at the Goodwill on Broughton St.  Since I already have one of these mugs in another floral motif, I'm on my way to another collection.

 

Of course, I always buy new teas (or old favorites like Barry’s) to try.

 As I mentioned in an earlier post, the First Flush Darjeeling Gopaldhara Estate tea is one of the best teas I’ve tried in a while.  This estate was planted by the British over 100 years ago.

 As many of you know, I enjoy robust black tea in the morning and Barry's Irish tea is a good one.

This pretty little tea spoon has a sundial on the handle. 

      

 I always pick up lots of postcards and tea themed greeting cards.

This time I added something to one of my smaller collections with a bunny tea bag holder.  I like the blanket stitched motif around the edges.

 

Do you also have lots of ticket stubs, restaurant menus, maps, postcards, stamps, etc. from your travels that you hold on to?  I’m always telling myself that one day I’ll use them in my scrapbooks, but meanwhile they sure are piling up.  Do you have any neat storage solutions for travel memorabilia?
