Aren't these tea containers so pretty?  And wouldn't a collection of them look so nice.



Lucky for me I have 12 of them...

of varying shapes and sizes.

Scored at an auction yesterday.  You know something like love at first sight....but really don't have a place for them.  Thinking they are destined to be sold...but I don't know that I can bear to split them all up.  They look so pretty all together.

They instantly reminded me of this....

(I bet she might be able to fit them in, no?)
There is just nothing like a collection of the same type of object with varying heights and weights and textures.
