Now it has to be said that everyone who knows me is aware of my love of tea....and that is all things tea....
I collect vintage teacups and saucers, strainers, fancy spoons, teapots and of course tea....I have a cupboard full of teas.....anyway the less said about it the better.....for now anyway!!!
Recently on a trip to London we popped over to Covent Garden and yes I had to have a few moments in Whittards.....
I love Whittards and spent quite a while Oohing and Aahing at all the pretty tea caddys, mugs, teapots until I settled a a couple of purchases....
So many varieties to choose from...
And such pretty packaging too...
Anyway I eventually settled on the Limited Edition Alice in Wonderland teapot (for one) top shelf in the photograph....and the trio of Alice in Wonderland teas (bottom shelf of the photograph)....
I have to admit to being swayed by the very pretty tea canisters and have yet to try the tea but they do smell wonderful so I have high hopes.....I will let you know when I get round to trying them though.....
I also purchased some new spoons and a tea strainer but have my eye on a few other goodies......maybe I will pick those up on another visit!!!....
Thank you for taking the time to stop by.
I really do appreciate your visits and lovely, encouraging comments.

Looks like a great shop, I have to admit that is one of the down sides of living on a small Island...the lack of shops.
Oh yes, Whittards is lovely. Hard to resist a purchase or two and the teas and hot chocolates they have to sample are wonderful.
I can see why you had to have that teapot. Such a pretty shop.
What lovely new treats, especially for a tea lover like you!
