Every tea lover needs to have a few fun things to accompany tea time, don’t you think?  Today I am sharing 3 fun items that I have that make teatime even better.

First up is a little gizmo that my sister got for me.  It is a cute  little bird that is designed to squeeze just the right portion of lemon into my teacup.

Slice up a little lemon and put it in the little compartment and squeeze over the cup for the perfect addition. 

How about a cute little ladybug to help capture drips from the teapot?  We all wish that all teapots would pour driplessly but are realistic to know that these teapots can be few and far between. This little ladybug helps capture those drips before they reach the linens.

The little part above the plastic bug is actually a fabric meshy type of drip catcher so any drips are absorbed before hitting the table.

My final fun item today is one that was given to me by Samantha and Cory when I helped with their wedding.  I love this little orange cup cover, don’ t you? 

It helps keep the tea hot between sips, serves as a great way to carry the mug without spilling and offers a cute little spoon holder on top.

There are so many fun things to find that make teatime even better and these three rank right up there in my book.  The added bonus is when someone special gifts me an item like one of these and I have a great memory to associate with the item each time I use it.

Do you have any items that you use to make teatime easier or more fun?  Let me know in the comments and don’t forget that all comments this month are going to help support our cause –Special Books by Special Kids.  You can read all about it by clicking here.
