Think this pendant from BookishCharm about sums up what I feel right now! |

Great combination in this Liquorice AllSorts Tea Cosy by Twinkknits |
Thought I would share some Tea Facts with you...
- Tea is the second most widely drunk drink in the world - the most widely drunk beverage being water.
- Tea normally grows in tropical or sub-tropical places - but it's been known to grow in Pembrokeshire, England and Washington, USA
- It takes between 4- 12 years for a tea plant to grow seeds.
- If you leave a tea plant alone it can grow to about 16 metres - but most are cut to be about waist height so that it's easier to pick the uppermost leaves.
- Tea came over to Europe in the 16th Century and was brought over to Great Britain around 1660
- Tea can help (slightly) with memory - but this is very minimal and not entirely certain...
- Milk isn't the only thing added to tea - weaker black tea is good with lemon and I had the shock of my life when I was served tea with jam in Russia...

The brooch is really cute! :)
What a cute necklace...and the crocheted tea cozy is adorable too...of course! ^_^ I was surprised with the fact that tea is 2nd to water! I was sure tea would be 3rd, after coffee! And I sure wish they could confirm that memory thing! ^_^....Wait! What was I saying?! O_0 Oh Yeah!...I love tea myself! I'm drinking green tea regularly these days for medicinal reasons, but I think my very very favorite is Earl Grey with milk and sugar...Go ahead 'hate on me' if you like! LOL I LIKE it!!
What a truly lovely theme, and the items featured are adorable! I am loving what you do here, very inspirational indeed. Hope you have had a wonderful weekend. :)
