A Nice Cuppa

If you have kids (and heck, even if you don’t) and are looking for a cute tea kettle to start having tea parties with them, then you need to look no further than the Giving Gallery.  They have adorable animal tea kettles available (currently on sale for $34.95), and they make the perfect introduction to […]

Yup.  I had to blink twice and rub my eyes to be sure too, but now you can get your cupcake and java fix at the same time.  Cupcakes have arrived at Starbucks.  Now before you get all excited, they’re not available at all Starbucks’ locations (much like their other bakery items).  Out of the […]

I don’t drink tea.  Or coffee either, for that matter.  But if I did, I would be sorely tempted by these adorable tea infusers that I recently discovered from the folks at the Trudeau Corporation. 
The stem of the “fruit” hangs over your cup, and the infuser comes with a matching lid that will keep your […]

Seems I’m not the only one who enjoys when a nice cuppa invades other parts of my life…

Brenda of Secret Agent Josephine is selling her Coffee-Made Coffee Cards over at etsy.  She’s a little coffee obsessed too.  It’s one of the many reasons I adore her…

The mystery solved of which biscuit to serve with your nice cuppa…

Who doesn’t  like a  lollipop sweet button or an elegant crisp white shirt?  I am devoted to the feral wilderness ritual of traditional loose leaf tea making, where tea leaves swirl as do autumn leaves, yet tea bags certainly have their solace and proper place in tea making, especially at the office where your co-workers look at […]

Halloween Costumes for your Nice Cuppa?

The world of take-out cuppa’s according to Jenna, the designer of these very cute and terribly functional adjustable hand protectors
“The Cozy Corset Cuff was a result of an ‘I can do better than that’ moment. Sure, the cardboard sleeves provided by coffee shops protect our hands from the heat of […]

I think many would agree we are an on-the-go society… drive-thru this, instant that, grab and go.  Admittedly, I am caught up in it all and am one of those people with all the “club” cards stuffed in her wallet. You know, the buy 10 smoothies, iced teas, or bagel packs and get the next […]
