Dear diary: My tea set just broke!

So can somebody please explain to me why is it that when you buy something that is really delicate and very important to you, the more EXTRA special care you give it, it just breaks and it always seems to have that higher chance of breaking than something you bought for 2 dollars that you can easily replace.

If you don’t know what I’m talking about, it’s about my new tea set I just bought. And hey guys when did I buy this tea set you ask? 3 days ago, yep THREE DAYS AGO!

I took it out to wash and serve some people I had over today, it was really good, I served them tea and juice, it was awesome, I loved it! Bringing out my new tea set was just so much fun.

So they left and I went to wash it, the first plate I picked up, put detergent on it and as I went to scrub it down it slipped so far out of my hand and smashed into 2 pieces in the sink.

From this:

To this:

This is how my heart feels like right now, broken in two!

Super bummed right now, I have 6 cups with 5 saucers, this tea party is going to be so uncoordinated.

I think the most depressing part is that I only had it for 3 days and the first time I took it out to use it, I broke it and it came in a set so I can’t replace the saucer and you know what this is why I don’t do the dishes.

The tea diaries: Look at my super cute new tea set!

I used to be such an impulse buyer (that's when I didn't care about saving), but now I do so I'm really you know, do I really need this and if I get it, will I use it and when will I use it and is it something I would use more than once, is it worth it, do I need it right now, oh you well budgeted people out there, I wish I was you.

But regardless, I needed something up for my tea diaries series and I'm so excited about this high tea I'm going to throw towards the end of the year, so yesterday I bought a super cute tea set.

Every week I would go into that store and just stay there and wonder should I get it now or later. I always decided on later, so when I went in yesterday I was disappointed that not that it was sold out but it was the last little tea set left and there was one teacup missing and some teacups were chipped and it just wasn't worth it, I mean who wants to buy cracked/ chipped crockery that isn't even a complete set. It was super cute, it was mini sized with little saucers, come to think of it I should have taken a photo, so silly. I was just so upset.

I thought the mini teacups would be a good addition to the set out of my high tea, I want to have a variety of teas on the table, so the mini tea cups could be used as little testers and if they liked it, they could pour themselves a full cup.

Instead I went to a different store and found a similar tea set normal sized you could say for the same price at $20 well she discounted it for me, because nobody was really buying it, umm why would you not? sometimes my logic just doesn't match others.

Rose and gold coloured tea set, this is the box it came in

I'm really happy with this one it's definitely something I would pull out if I had guests over and most of my friends are lovers of tea, well at least I force them to drink it because it's just so yum! And I bake them muffins so they have to have some tea with that. English breakfast all the way, with milk.

So I took some photos, (like my set up?) just need to wash these now and put them in a cupboard somewhere.

6 saucers and 6 teacups, do you guys like my setup?

the saucer

I'm loving the detailing on the saucer and teacup and the colours make it look so elegant. 

Next move, I need to get a teapot or two or three or I don't know we'll see.

Introducing The Tea Diaries...

As most of you probably would know by now I love my tea and I am dying to throw my first high tea party.

I want to introduce a new series called The Tea Diaries and this was inspired by my love of tea and all the cute accessories you can buy when you throw a high tea party and the different types of teas there are out there. That and I find myself blogging a lot about tea related stuff.

Because of this high tea party I want to throw, every tea, every accessory related to tea and the food involved in throwing a high tea party I’m going to blog about.

Anyways until next post, count how many times I said tea in this blog. TEA! Including those two TEAs or three.
