Tea for Tuesday # 18 - Meryl Ruth Part 1 - Teapots

It has been within the last week that I have been on Pinterest that I have discovered Meryl Ruth and her teapots and teabags and have fallen in love with their quirkiness and cuteness. She has so many that I like that I have decided to break them down into two parts or installments. The first part is dedicated to her teapots and, hopefully I will not lapse in time, will do her teabags for part 2.

  Meryl Ruth is owner of  Porcelain Grace  as well as being an art teacher of ceramic arts and award winning artist with museum exhibits who also sells of her works.

  Here are a few of her tea pots.

Tea for Tuesday #17 - Tea Time for St. Patrick

It is the day where green is the colour to beat. So for this year's St. Patrick's Day I thought it would be nice to have a tea time of tea served in green tea cups and maybe nibble on some green food. Do not worry my friends there is no green mold on the food.

First we must have a shamrock teapot or two.

 

 Beleek tea set from Ireland is appropriate to have on this day.

Now let us pour ourselves a nice cuppa and relax.

 

Of course cucumber sandwiches seem to be a must. These are Chive Cream Cheese and Cucumber Sandwiches. Courtesy of The Chef in My Head blog.

There is also some matcha shortbread cookies that is courtesy of The Dirty Kitchen

An offering of a slice of Irish tea bread

Then there is also Irish tea cake

Now I think we should have some more tae to wash everything down with a wee piece of chocolate truffle.

Tea for Tuesday #16

When feeling Blah it is always nice to have a cup or two of tea. By a fire can be even better.
