CNY: wishlist

dear ancestors 

this is what i want for new years

buy here

i remember eating this on canal street in new york with my auntie shell 

it was so yummy and fun

and i havent been able to replicate it 

also please 

i would like this

so i can look super serious at family gatherings

it would impress the fambam a lot

but in the end this is the gold ticket

these red envelopes

my favorite 

wishlist: tea time

i love love love herbal tea

my mom used to serve it to me when i was little

but i never really liked it

i just liked the fine china she used (Royal Albert Country Roses) and of course the time we spent together

but my tastes have definitely changed over the years

and now i love tea 

my favorite flavors are from Celestial Seasonings

Gingerbread Spice

Raspberry Zinger

Mint Medley

and im about to try Bengal Spice 

we will see how that goes 

ry and i used to have a silver tea kettle that worked

but it wasn't very cute and grease stuck to it like crazy

so the kettle ended up in the trash bin

i am on the hunt for a new kettle and hope to get one sometime soon

any cute suggestions?

here are some happy things i found along my internet hunt 

Miix Spoon Set

how adorable are these? i first saw them featured in martha stewart living and i just had to do more research on them- now i want them

L'Epice Spice Jars 

at only $4 a pop its the quickest prettiest easiest way to hide (or not hide) the kitchen spices 

Chantal Pink Bridge Tea Kettle 

the kettle i have been eyeing 

what do you think? 

Simple Tea Cozy in Liberty Fabric

super cute and useful if you have a traditional teapot 

maybe ill just get one for mum 

and its a feel good purchase

i enjoy supporting etsy sellers

Baby Spoon with Chunky Grip Handle

maybe not for tea

but perfect for a cute baby to hold while you are drinking tea?

i think yes

Farmer's Egg Crate

another non-necessary item 

but its just too pretty to leave out 

you could use this to hold your biscuits or macaroons to eat with your tea

Vintage Silverware Silver Plate Tea Honey Set

now this is a lovely thing 

and its nicely personalized

one for tea

one for honey
