Not only is Candace’s blog beautiful, I love her mission to “Inspire busy wives and mamas to chase after the beautiful life they were created for.” And she certainly does inspire with every post!

The Teacup’s Stops So Far

If you missed the background of the teacup’s journey, you can read about it in the original Traveling Teacup post.

The first stop was Martha’s beautiful Oregon farm. Then our cup went to the Bay Area to see creator and HomeTalk personality, Cynthia Nessel of CreateWithCynthia.com.

And then, it was off cross country to the beautiful home of Kansas City stylist, Suzanne Zingg @suzannezinggstyle! And Now …

Candace shared a teatime or two (or three) with our little cup. Here’s her story!

Morning Tea

While the traveling teacup was in my company, I affectionately nicknamed her “Rosie.” Here we are drinking English Breakfast tea and soaking up some interior design inspiration together before heading to the office.

Ahh – what a lovely morning view! Candace has inspired me to save a few moments for a pre-office teatime, myself!

Picnic Tea

I took Rosie along with me to a local park where we enjoyed afternoon tea by the creek.

Isn’t that beautiful?! I’d love to jaunt down to Texas and have a fun outdoor teatime in the park, wouldn’t you?

Teatime Picnic Setup

I used my favorite thrifted picnic basket, tea set, a vintage sheet, and some rattan chargers to create a cozy place for us to sit and enjoy each other’s company.

Tea and Cookies

Rosie and I enjoyed Twinings Buttermint Tea while dining on fresh fruit and strawberry oatmeal cookies.

I so enjoyed my time with the traveling teacup! We had such fun together. 

That visit sounds like so much fun – I bet our little teacup enjoyed it too!

THANK YOU Candace, for being such a gracious and wonderful host, and sharing your lovely photos with us!

The Traveling Teacup’s Next Adventure

Our teacup has bid adieu to Texas! Rosie is flying – with fond memories and eager anticipation – to a gorgeous garden on the Puget Sound!

  4. I’ve enjoyed reading about the cups journey. This is such a fun idea. My husband is Irish, so we drink a LOT of hot tea in our house. My teenaged daughter is thinking of suggesting that some of the girls she competes with (singing) could do the same. They see each other at competitions but live scattered throughout the state. Thanks for letting us follow along!

I was writing back to you then got so caught up in your blog that I forgot to finish! 😉 I’m so glad you like the traveling teacup – with all that tea in the house, I can see how it might appeal!

Thanks so much for stopping by, and hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday weekend!
