A woman is like a tea bag; you never know how strong she is until she gets in hot water
- Elanor Roosevelt
I am infatuated with tea. Ever since I was young I have collected miniature tea sets. I don't remember which one was my first, but i have a lot and my love for tea sets and tea has grown over the years. Around the time I hit middle school it became a family tradition (with the girls) to go to formal afternoon tea every couple months at an amazing tea house close to my home town. This simple, beautiful lunch date brought me so much closer to my mom, sisters, aunts, cousins, and great aunts. I will cherish the memories of afternoon tea for a lifetime. As I've grown I've stopped buying and receiving miniature tea sets as much, but have increased my collection of tea cups by a great deal. I love finding vintage tea cups at tea houses and antique stores I find and beautiful new tea cups also. I have probably about 10-15 tea cups at this time (and I want this number to grow and grow!) and many of them I received or bought on special occasions. I don't always have the best memory and I would never want to write on them where I got the tea cup (or tea pot) from, so I am going to keep track of that on here.
So welcome to the chronicles of my tea cups :)
