First day of spring & lot's of tea parties!


Welcome Spring! :D




has invited bloggers from around the globe to participate in her spring tea party today while posting something tea related on your blogs. Well and this is my tea post for Kari and all of you blogging friends & readers!


This is a tea flower pc wallpaper which you can download for free @ Paul Schraders tea blog:






While searching for Tea related pictures I came across a great website of Paul Schrader & Co. a big tea shop in my home town Bremen, established already in 1921. Bremen is famous for it's port and here especially for the im- and export of tea & coffee. So @ Paul Schraders shop you can chose between 300 different sorts of tea from all over the world.


But among all those teas you can also find lot's of other items in the shop like this tea egg with a picture from Dresden:




Then you can also get milk for your tea there for example from "Pfunds":




"Pfunds" is a very old Dresden Milk Shop founded in 1880 and they call themeselves:



"The most beautiful milk shop in the world!"



To prove that they aren't lying here is a picture of inside the shop:




Oh and just look at the gorgeous old fashioned milk soap they sell and the fab old advertisement sign:



Then at Paul Schrader you can also get special Easter tea baskets:






And also specialities from my home town like these little chocolate cakes called "Domspitzen" after our famous "Bremer Dom" a big cathedral built back in the middle ages:




Well now after all this information it's time to sit down, relax and have some Darjeeling first flush tea along with a few cucumber sandwiches, please help yourself, meet other bloggers and enjoy!




Or maybe you'd prefer a tasty Chai latte? Find a yummy recipe here!




Now last but not least thanks a lot for stopping by today and don't forget to head over to Kari's blog www.artsymama.blogspot.com to participate in her wonderful spring tea party if this isn't where you coming from lol. She has prepared some yummy treats and also a turtorial to craft a little Easter basket. Go see! xox

This is a little Valentines "Hello" from my garden for you!



Last Sunday I've got this lovely antique rose book as another late b-day gift and I thought it would also make a pretty picture for Valentine's day here on my blog:



This is another rosy heart which I've finished making last week:



Talking about hearts, the paper hearts for my dear winners are both packed and ready to send out to Wales in Great Britain and to Idaho in the USA today!
