As a tea drinker, I was thrilled to see the Tea Boutique Suite in the new Annual Catalog. So cute! Although I don’t drink my tea out of a pretty porcelain tea cup, preferring an insulated mug to keep it hot, I find them quite pretty. After playing with the Cup of Tea Bundle I am excited about the possibilities of these products. And since I’m a klutz, creating with paper is a lot less daunting than a dainty, breakable cup. LOL
