Tea Time!

Lately, I have been pining for a proper tea set. I've looked for a vintage set in Antique Alley, a quaint shopping village of sorts just three minutes up the road from my house, but I did not find any that I just had to have. The tea cup and saucer in the photo were found in Antique Alley, but there were only two cups, and It did not have a tea pot or any other accessories. So, my search continues.

Of all places, I found an entire tea set that I really want in the St. Francis Hospital gift shop, only another five minutes from my house. The only thing is, it's going to cost about $120.00 or so for the whole set. I guess you can't expect to have a proper, lovely, and cohesive tea set for cheap. Still, a girl can dream.

Now that I brought the most local hospital up, I have to tell you that I am sooo excited that they are getting a Starbucks in their cafeteria! We, in the Twin Cities have only just been fortunate enough to get our first two Starbucks a mere few months ago. So far, there hasn't been one close enough to my house that I could just pop on over and quickly pick one up. In this town, if it takes more than 15 minutes to get there, it's far. Now, I'll be one of the hospital groupies that will be seen weekly coming to get a fix. No, not that kind. Coffee. Now, I must go and make a pot.
