It’s a Tea Time

luxxury livving — Fri, 24 Jun 2011 16:26:42 +0000

I was just browsing through the wonderful blog Young House Love and noticed a lovely Elephant Teapot in their “We’re Digging” section and I instantly fell in love with it. My favorite animal is the elephant, they’re beautiful creatures. I do drink tea sometimes, but I think I need expand my tea drinking palate. I recently discovered David’s Tea and purchased some unique loose leaf tea blends to try, they are very tasty. Anyways, I digress… back to the Elephant Teapot, isn’t it darling!

So I searched around a bit to find other lovely tea accessories. Them I came across this ingenious invention Fred & Friends Teacup Cakes Cupcake Mold shaped as tea cups… how pretty, you’ll be the buzz of your friend at your next get together.

Then I thought, how can we incorporate color into your tea vignette? I found these lovely bright Moroccan Tea Glasses Morjana in Turquoise. They are to pretty to keep in a cupboard, I would keep them out on display.

In one of my most recent trips to Homesense, I found this cute tea canister with elephants on it and thought it would look great on my kitchen shelf… yes I did just by it because it’s adorable but I soon found out it’s delicious too. I purchased wild berry tea which is a mix of raspberry and strawberry… yum! I found the my cup of tea website, simply adorable.

Enjoy.

I’m Bowled Over for Jonathan Adler

luxxury livving — Fri, 15 May 2009 22:11:23 +0000

Ah, the amazing Jonathan Adler, his designs are so original, there is no one out there like him. Here are some bowls that have a vintage quality to them, but can fit into a modern home. They are timeless and will be popular for generations to come in my mind.

A little tidbit: all the utopia models are first handmade in the Jonathan Adler studio in Soho. they are then produced in Peru from brown stoneware which peeks through the sheer white glaze applied on top. the utopia collection offers a variety of unique gift ideas ranging from vases, keepsake boxes, to tableware items.

Snap and Dine

luxxury livving — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 02:09:00 +0000

Perusing the Jan/Feb 08 issue of Vogue Living Australia, I came across this neat design in disposable cutlery called Snap-and-Dine.

From the Designer:
Snap and Dine is a three course dinning setting that integrates disposable cutlery with traditional silverware. The portable setting expands the possibilities of eating outdoors in style whilst reinforcing the correct use of cutlery, which has been lost over time. This is achieved through the decorative qualities and formal setting which both are a visual reference to fine dinning. This product will be injection moulded and will be able to snap in and out and will be machine washable.
