My Place and Yours - my secret weapon.....

is easy!!!
I have to admit that I am a tea-aholic! My working, creative day is fuelled by a zillion cups of tea.
Well, actually, that should read mugs of tea, from my early morning cuppa courtesy of Emma Bridgewater (obviously the mug, not the actual tea - Emma Bridgewater does not make my morning tea!)
to my latest favourite from Cath Kidston, bought in St Ives this summer:

to the beautiful Susie Watson mug bought by my gorgeous eldest son last Christmas as a surprise. (He knew I yearned for it and saved up for it himself over a few weeks!!)
Then there is the one from the big tomato company that I have absolutely no idea why my husband keeps making my tea in!!
And finally, my all-time favourite of the moment, again from good old Emma Bridgewater, which incidentally has become a favourite with S too, so much so that there is often a 'race'to use it first!
On and off, all through the day, when in any doubt, I put the kettle on. It has helped me through mental blocks in creativity, calming too much excitement over button deliveries, and sustained me through into-the-night sewing marathons! My friend and constant companion, my secret weapon - tea! x

  2. So many mugs! I use the same one all the time. It holds just the right amount. Nothing like a cuppa to keep you going!

  3. yay for tea! Where would we be without it! I have to drink rooibos (redbush) as I spin out on too much caffeine, but the warm, soothing cuppa is always a great elixer!

  4. Ahhhhh there is nothing like the glorious relaxing simplicity of a large cup of Earl Grey to take the cares away. :)

  6. Wowee! I have never heard of Emma before - I must be living under a rock! Amazingly cute ceramics! I am a mug-junkie too - so I can relate to these weapons, big time! I'm so pleased you played! xx
