Unexpected Pleasures

German tea cup and saucer in the Orchard pattern, loose Earl Grey tea, and a tea towel!!!
Today I opened an unexpected package from Granny Sue, a writer and storyteller (see my blogroll). She must have been very happy with the maple syrup I sent her! The things that made this assortment especially well chosen are things Granny Sue could not have known about me: (1) I had just started a tea cup and saucer collection last summer so that I could do a vintage-style tea of mismatched cups with my granddaughters, (2) I try to always have Earl Grey on hand, and (3) I use at least two tea towels a day so I wash them almost daily!
Thank You, Susanna! I'm just blown away!

  1. Not only that, on closer inspection I see that it really is a Turkish Tea Towel, made in Turkey! What an undeserved kindness! I'll use it carefully.
