When I was little, I had a Fisher Price tea set. It was blue and yellow, and looked like this. I loved it. We have all kinds of tea sets around our house these days, but everyone has their favorite. Some are real, some are just for fun. But my point is, a tea set is something that every girl should have. And maybe not just girls, because my brother has one that he loves too...
When it comes to play sets, there's something really charming about a tin tea set. There are vintage sets, and new sets, and my mom recently found this one:
She brought it home, and I got all excited, because I was thinking of you and this tea party! So I made her go and get a second set to share. (Thanks, Mom!)
Painting this was a little different than I expected, as the paint is rather thin. But I used what they provided, because there's a whole process. It was so much fun to make!
Tea cups with faces! It's the Wild Olive way!
So here's the deal. One lucky reader is going to win a tin tea set! The winner will get to choose between a plain set, ready to be painted...or...the painted set that I've decorated. (You won't hurt my feelings if you choose the blank one!)
To enter, leave a comment telling me if you take anything in your tea (no milk or sugar for me!), and a way for me to contact you.
BONUS ENTRY: Leave a second comment if you follow me on BlogLovin'!
The giveaway will remain open until Saturday, May 28 at Noon CST, when I'll choose a random winner.
If you don't win, you can buy the paintable set on Amazon. It's really so sweet!
Comments are now closed...thank you so much for the amazing response!
I like Stevia and no milk or anything else.. contact me by clkicking my name
ReplyDeleteWhat I take depends on the flavor. Honey is great in Blood Orange tea, while Almond Rooibos easily becomes dessert with some cream and sugar.

P.S. I love the painted set.
Very cute, I do love the "Wild Olive way" of faces. A little bit of milk and sugar in my black teas, but only honey or agave in anything herbal.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to win the tea set for my nieces ages 1 and 3.
ReplyDeleteWhat I drink in my tea depends on the tea, and how I'm feeling. I'm normally a milk and sugar person; however, if I'm feeling like a cold is coming on, I'll do lemon and honey. And, of course, if it's a 'flavored' tea, I tend to drink it 'black/plain'.
I take my tea with honey. Sometimes sugar, and occasionally milk.
ReplyDeleteThat tea set is adorable!
love camomille with two scoops of sugar

This is so cute! I love the way you painted it! I like my tea with honey and a squirt of lemon.
ReplyDeleteI just throw in some honey and a little lemon! Love this tea set, and the blog :)
ReplyDeletecheerfuld8@gmail.com
I take mine plain except my chai!
ReplyDeleteI take my tea straight up, if it's black tea. Herbal teas, well I like honey in those.
ReplyDeleteLove the painted set, but would love to try my hand painting one also! I like to add a spring of fresh mint to my tea, but not milk at all!
ReplyDeletethis tea set is so cute!
ReplyDeletei take my tea with honey and sometimes milk :)
Depends on the tea! If it's black, take it with milk and sugar. If it's green, herbal or red, I take it with nothing in it!

ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win! You can reach me on my blog or via email...sewloquacious at gmail dot com.
Cream and sugar please
ReplyDeleteI'm a purist. I drink Earl Grey tea, steeped for 4 minutes, with nothing added. There's nothing more delicious then tea in it's pure form!
ReplyDeleteFor the first cup, I love just a teenie-tiny bot of coconut-milk creamer. Swirl with spoon. Every cup afterwards is plain as day.
ReplyDeletecream and sugar!
ReplyDeleteIm a picky tea drinker - 2 sugers in my english breakfast with milk, one of RAW sugar only in my peppermint and my chai must have a squeeze of honey - nothing worse when im craving some chai and they have no honey left makes me want to cry.
ReplyDeleteThe tea set is the sweetest thing out, thanks for the chance to win, ive been looking at tea sets more since i have found out Im going to have my first daughter after 3 sons. Three Sons only want to put worms in tea sets....... at least mine do.
eeek! It's adorable! I so want the already painted! In my tea, I put two spoons of sugar :) I'm still pretty new to tea drinking
ReplyDeleteSo cute! My little girl and I both take it without cream or sugar most of the time. Sometime I'll add honey.
ReplyDeletePS. I had the same tea set when I was little, got it for my first birthday :)
prudenceblue(at)gmail(dot)com
I like lots of sugar and ice. Ha. I'm a southern girl. I like it sweet.
ReplyDeleteBut for this kind of tea pretty much only herbal type of teas with some sugar.

Oh gosh! I love your cute painted tea set! I take my tea with lots of honey and lots of 1/2 & 1/2 and sometimes even a little whipped cream!!
ReplyDeleteI would love either the painted tea set or the paint it self set! This would look so cute in my house with the rest of my tea things!!
What a nice tea set!! I love my tea with a lot, (and I mean a lot) of sugar!!

This is the cutest idea! My daughter turns 2 in a month and she would love it! I take milk and sugar in my chai or black tea. Just honey otherwise. I think I need to drink more tea...
ReplyDeleteSince I only drink herbal/fruit teas, I don't take anything in them because they've already got so much!!
ReplyDeleteI love everything about your happy little tea set. The cute smiles make me smile, infectious!
ReplyDeleteI'm not a tea drinker but I do take 3 lumps of pretend sugar in my pretend tea when I party with my 2, 5, and 6 year old.

I usually like mine iced, with sugar and lemon. But when it's hot, I d like it with milk and sugar. Love this tea party!
ReplyDeleteTea with a splash of milk no sugar. That is of course if I'm having chai tea, otherwise I have it plain. Mmmmmm...now I must dash away and have me some scones and Earl Grey!
ReplyDeleteAs for the tea set, the beautifully painted one of course!

I use to drink my tea with just sugar or honey. Then I went to Australia for a wonderful vacation and they asked me if I wanted my tea white or black. I said white and I have never turned back. So cream and sugar all the way for me.
ReplyDeleteI take my tea with 1 sugar and that´s it no milk for me! :)
ReplyDeletedepends on the tea. but usually both milk and sugar (or maybe sometimes vanilla creamer. yum!)
ReplyDeleteI follow on bloglovin!
ReplyDeleteI love it!! I'm weaning myself off milk at the moment so am experimenting with one spoon of sugar and nothing else in my tea. It's nice! Tea is so good.
ReplyDeleteGooooood morning!
ReplyDeleteI drink about 8 cups of green tea every day and I take it au natural. No sugar, no milk or cream and I let it set for a long long time cause I love the bitterness.

That is so stinkin cute!!! My daughter loves to play tea with me :) I prefer my tea with 2 sugar cubes and some cream!

I love this set! I drink Rooibos with no milk or sugar but I also like 'Nuit Calme' from La Tisaniere
ReplyDeleteI'm not really a tea person. (or coffee for that matter.) I do drink chai, but I'm not terribly picky about it. When I make it at home, I use skim milk, but when I go to the coffee shop and they have fancy flavors (raspberry Yumm!) they use water and it tastes just fine.
ReplyDeletegirlwiththestarspangledheart[at]gmail[dot]com
What a cute set!!!
ReplyDeleteWell... let see... green or black hot tea, pure , unsweetened and no milk.
Iced tea .... sweetened please ;-).
Tisane/Herbal ... a hint of honey and few drops of fresh lemon juice.
Mmmm, me encanta con leche y miel!, está precioso el juego de té! Gracias por compartirlo.

milk and sugar please!! :) what a lovely tea set
ReplyDeleteWe have been looking for a new tea set for my little girl, that one is so cute I may have to try and find it.
ReplyDeleteI like my tea straight or with a little lemon depending on the type. Although I am thinking I will buy some sugar cubes for some of our play tea parties, I used to love them as a kid.
AH! I would love to win your set! Its so adorable :) I take my tea with honey thank you. When I was a kid, the only time I drank tea was when I was sick and my best friend would make it for me, with honey. So it stuck. How fun!
