Tea in a pretty cup

        All cats are possessed of a proud spirit.

                                            
Why it's Otis again.
Is there anything so beautiful as a cat? Well....if you happen to be a dishaholic like myself you might think this tea-cup could be a runner-up. 

Since I sometimes like to have tea on the front porch with Sierra I photographed this pretty cup in the light of day. 

Look at the pretty details on the handle.  I am so in love with this tea-cup. I only have one and it was found in a little antique shop in Almonte. I would love to find another one to match. It is called Crown Ducal Florentine, made in England & her name is Rosalie.                                                                             
TEA  today is ...

Rooibos Herbal Chai

This tea is almost red in colour when steeped for 5 minutes.  

It is spectacular. Why the gold spoon? Because I always add a bit of honey to my tea. That way my sweet tooth is satisfied, too.  I recommend this tea highly.

My cats are having a bang-up time with something I placed in the hall for them. 
I'll show you tomorrow.

I'm joining Sandi at http://sandimyyellowdoor.blogspot.ca/ for Tea-time Tuesday.
