The Tea Stacker



I was browsing through Chapters as I had a gift card as one of my retirement gifts. And as soon as I saw this tea stacker I knew it would be going home with me.  I had gone in with the intention of getting a gardening book that I had my eye on for a few months. But ...
This adorable tea set for one caught my eye as it was stacked like this on display - and in one of my favourite shades of green.

I'm the person that takes old teapots and stacks them up to make teapot totems, so I just had to have one of these to use in the house. I just love the way that it all fits together into its own totem.  My collection of teapots for one is growing.

And it all comes apart into this ... teapot, cup & saucer, milk jug and sugar pot.

Of course I took several photos of it outside and couldn't resist the shadow shot totem as well.
I'm joining in with Mosaic Monday , Rose Chintz Cottage, Teapot and Tea Things  and Tea Cup Tuesday

Take time to relax and enjoy tea in the garden today.

  2. I have a friend who keeps buying me tea sets for Christmas and holidays. I guess she thinks I need a tea set collection. I am up to five now and I do not drink tea! The one you purchased is really nifty though. What a cool design and color. A good space economizer too.

  3. It's my favourite colour Val, another reason not to resist.

    Perhaps you could use your teapots for something else GardenwalkGardentalk.

  8. I don't think I could resist that lovely item either. How neat that it all stacks up together! It would make a wonderful conversation piece out on the table...and then could be used. Very nice!

  13. Hi Linda
    Good choice of a gift for yourself. I saw them in Chapters too but can't remember if they came in different colours.
    Stay cool during our heat wave.

  16. Hi, I love that set too, I would have a hard time resisting it. I'm curious to know where the lid to the teapot goes when you stack them - do you turn it upside down inside the teapot?

  17. There was also a beige/cream coloured one Judith, but as green is my favourite colour I had to have that one.

    Nicola, the cup turns upside down and fits perfectly over the lid on the teapot.
