Tea Party in a Box ~ Express from Paris to
The OC
It’s always fun to receive a package, but
even more exciting to receive one Express mail with a customs sticker from
Paris! Andrea packed up the little
Traveling Teapot with its accumulated belongings so carefully and it has
arrived in The OC. Thank you, Andrea,
for your nice note and for the thoughtful gifts that you included for me.
As soon as I opened the box, I knew that I
would be enjoying my own Parisian Tea Party!
Opening
the canister of Mariage Frères Pleine Lune was an experience in of itself. The aroma
of this tea is pure delight, This is very special for me as it brings back wonderful
memories of enjoying tea at their shop on the Left Bank in Paris five years
ago.
So…….
tonight the *little plum pot* is
steeping this lovely Pleine Lune tea to enjoy with Financiers amandes and
Tartelettes citron by Bon Maman. Oh my,
the French know how to do things. These
fancy and delicious tea time treats are boxed and they don’t have any calorie
counts on the boxes. What a happy thing! Pure enjoyment and no guilt! Thank you, Andrea.
There were some other
delightful surprises tucked in too. Merci

Heavenly! Soooo glad the teapot arrived safely after a very long journey --- and that it was filled with such treasures of delight for you, Martha. Enjoy a great month!
Wonderful! Bon! Delightful! How special to receive the plum teapot with such special goodies. I can only imagine the wonderful desserts and tea from the Mariage Freres! Enjoy the continuing adventure of the teapot.
Oh my, the teapot went to Paris! And not only that - to Mariages Freres! How can the teapot ever beat an experience like that? I have a wonderful little book from Mariages Freres, "The French Art of Tea". Hope to review it on my blog one day!
Enjoy - what is the tea that you've been sent? Bon apetit!
Bienvenu de retour à l'Amérique Petite Théière - Welcome back to America Little Teapot!
Andrea was the perfect hostess while the plum pot was visiting the City of Lights.
Now you will share your home and hospitality with The Traveling Teapot, Martha.
What delights await? I am sure you will have a some wonderful adventures to share with us.
