The Tea Set

I was flipping through the Somerset Home publication and saw and saw Sarah Hodsdon’s gorgeous ‘Tea with DaVinci’ article, and knew immediately I had to make a tea set of our own.

Our tea set comprises of 6 cups, two milk pourers (one marked ‘milk’ the other marked ‘soy’), a sugar bowl and a tea pot. Each cup has it’s own theme consisting of numbers, letter fragments, rulers, pens, mail art, and art muse. The tea pot has a combination of all the themes and the milk and sugar containers all have a botanical theme.

Even thought I used the same colours called for in Sarah’s article, my set came out really different and very earthy in colour…. very me. I love how it came out, and Joey seems quite pleased with it. We really do like our tea, and I’m hoping that this will mean we can set the tea set out in the lounge when we’re entertaining so that we Joey doesn’t have to keep running back and forth to the kitchen when our cups are empty.

Now I just need to quilt a tea cozy for it. :)
