"Tea to the English is really a picnic indoors." ~ Alice Walker
Tea break...
Fine, fine Paul Smith china produced to original Victorian values.
Hand painted and glazed, the gold edging is equivalent of 22 carat gold.
Does tea taste better in a stripy?

Love love love macarons!
ReplyDeletetea should taste fabulous in those cups! and those sweet treats too! isn't tea the best meal of the day?
ReplyDeleteStripy or not, but it's got to be proper china to make tea taste its best (and to please the eye, of course).
ReplyDeleteLove macaroons...

Hi Susan,
ReplyDeleteI do like a cup of tea first thing in the morning.
Also like Paul Smith and the stripey china is lovely.
Also the macaroons look delicious.

I am an absolute tea snob. It does taste better in a nice cup - and the china by Paul Smith is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThose pink macaroons make me miss paris:(
