t is party day.  Have much to do, but wanted to show you a sneak peak of the party.

Have a great day.

Overcast, rainy days are some of my very favourite - there's something that makes me feel equally cozy and productive, wanting to have a nice big cup of tea and finish a bunch of paperwork perhaps?

Either way, there's a cool solace that can be found in the multiple shades of grey...

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....

There is just nothing like a collection of the same type of object with varying heights and weights and textures.
