It's Wednesday which means a new challenge for you at Sweet Sketch Wednesday. We're so glad you're here, so sit back with a cup of tea and take a moment to read this post. Did you know January is Hot Tea Month? As much as I love my Starbucks latte, hot tea is my most favorite. I've gone to a local tea house for lunch and talk about fun! They serve pots of tea (over 40+ flavors) kept hot with a warmer as well as yummy lunch fare and desserts. The only problem was the dainty little tea cup like the one pictured above...one swallow and it's done!! And where's the big handle to hold on to like a mug?!!
Tea pots just keep getting cuter and cuter too. Having a niece and nephew-in-law who both work for Disney, I knew I had to share this adorable Mickey tea pot! Maybe on my next trip I'll pick myself up one!!!
As you can tell, I love to chat, but now let's get down to business.
