So, I guess I’m now a person who Goes To Tea.<\/p>\n

I’ve gone to a few teas in the past year and next weekend we’re going to my sister’s house for a non-$30\/person tea and it sounds like it will be fun! Since that’s the Mexican side of the family, everything is skewing south-of-the-border (I may wear one of my Mexican peasant blouses to keep it real, haha). Any tea that involves taquitos is an okay tea in my book. I still need to go get some tea to bring, and I looked at Cost Plus but nothing jumped out at me. I will likely make a stop at Teavana at the mall, or maybe even look at Peet’s.<\/p>\n

A couple weeks ago (Feb 2), I met up with Malvina and Katie at the French Bakery in Lafayette where we enjoyed a high tea. Not quite up to par with Lovejoy’s, but still nice. (After the tea Malv and I went to Ulta where we each purchased one of the new Urban Decay Oz palettes – and a week later both simultaneously emailed each other about how much we loved them, lol.)<\/p>\n

One of the things that is fun about going to tea is that everybody gets their own teapot. Generally speaking these are nice and English looking, however me being me, I found the following teapots at Cost Plus and snapped them right up:<\/p>\n

\"DSC04606\"<\/a> \"DSC04607\"<\/a>For those keeping track… yes that means I have two elephant teapots (one’s mostly just for show, though). I have no normal teapots. However, my mom hit the teapot motherlode at a thrift shop and I may try to get my mitts on this cute orange one she found:<\/p>\n

Anyway, any day with Mexican hot chocolate and taquitos is an okay day in my book.<\/p>\n

That will be a fun weekend – I’m taking off the Friday to go to Stitches West<\/a> and maybe buy yarn – definitely want to look at patterns and stuff but I’m not really in the market for anything (not that that’s stopped me before!! LOL). I did see that Cephalopod Yarns (formerly part of the Sanguine Gryphon, my all time fave) and Zen Yarn Garden will be there, so we’ll see what strikes my fancy!<\/p>\n

Cashmere, most likely.<\/p>\n
