We don't go "all out" but we do enjoy making cut-out cookies decorated with Valentine colors and shapes, and this afternoon I'm going to go through my scrap bin or stashed fabric to make something up in pink.

On a random note, I was thrilled to find this tea (which all I've heard is postive remarks!) at a local discount grocery store. $3.29 isn't to bad for 240 bags of tea all the way from England! My poor mother was shocked that I bought yet another box of tea. I have such a huge collection that I know longer can store mine in the kitchen cupboard. Yes, I have that many. =)
Wow that's a lot of tea! :) Do you have a lot of varieties you like to use and try, or do you 'collect' it? I know you like to drink tea, but do you consistenly drink from your collection?? My mom drinks a lot of tea but she normally has just 1-2 varieties she really likes and goes through lots of them.
ReplyDeleteI love to try different varieties, Celestial Seasonings being my favorite herbal teas, and anything from England for my black teas.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, while I do drink from my collection, I do have a couple favorites, one being Mint Green tea from the aforementioned company, and Good Earth's herbal tea. I have sweet memories from my childhood of my Dad ordering the latter, iced, at a Good Earth resturant, and being allowed a small sip of it once he was pretty much done with it. =)
As a reader from the United Kingdom (where PG tips comes from!) I can assure you that it is great tea, and the stuff I drink/post to my American friends.
ReplyDeleteMy mother-in-law is from England, and that is her very favorite tea. She brings it home in her luggage. Enjoy the best!
ReplyDeleteI'm a PG tips fan, too! :-) I wish there was more of it in the States. And Cheri, honestly -- can you ever have too much tea? ;-)
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentines Day!
Yours in Christ,

I have that tea also, which I bought at a little English tea shop in San Antonio. It does taste good. But my favorite is still one which Anna from Pleasantview posted about: Cream Earl Grey from the English Tea Store. It's like having a fine dessert!
ReplyDeletePG Tips is a good brand. Yorkshire Tea and Twinings are also good, but avoid Tetleys and Typhoo!
ReplyDeleteShannon,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reminder! ::winks::
YayaOrchid,
Do you have a link to the Cream Earl Grey from the English Tea Store? I am a regular reader of Anna's blog, but somehow must have missed that post!
Oh my goodness, I LOVE this tea. I got addicted to it while living in England. So lucky to find it so cheap! I bought 80 tea bags from World Market for $6.99. So you got a splendid deal!
ReplyDeleteMmm...enjoy!
Cheri,
ReplyDeleteI too am a tea drinker. I only drink health teas (no tannic acidic teas). Since I drink it almost every day, at least 32 ounces a day, my teeth have really been getting discolored! I don't want this to continue but don't want to stop drinking these teas either. Hmmm...dilemmas.
um..Lyon's tea is much better.I bypass the PG tea every time for the Lyon's.*shakes head*
