Fashion Island ~ Shopping
Shopping is a huge recreation in the OC. We have South
Coast Plaza, The Irvine Spectrum, The District, The Camp and more AND
the *premier open-air retail center, Fashion Island that boasts specialty
shops, world-class department stores and a vast array of restaurants and cafes,
in a sophisticated yet relaxed atmosphere that is distinctively Southern
California*.
Bracing for a day of shopping, the little plum teapot steeped a
pot of Elmwood Inn Kentucky Blend to start the day. This was sipped from an antique copper luster
baby cup c. 1877 that is a family heirloom.
I love to drink my tea from special and fun things.
A handful of Andes Mints will be tossed into the purse to help
keep energy up today.
A new upscale grocery opened at Fashion Island recently and The
Tea Hive made its national debut – a fusion café and tea bar. It offers tea frosted, frozen, sparkling or
steamed. The little plum teapot wanted
to check it out but decided to sneak into the store in costume and hiding in an “Orla Kiely teapot fabric
handbag” from a Fashion Island
store. It kept peeking to see what was
happening and I think it was just a bit envious.

I see those cute little "eyes" peeking out of that beautiful tea purse!
Martha, thank you so much for making it so inspiring to follow your posts! Much love, Andrea
What a fun day! A strong cup of Kentucky Blend was a good way to start your day of shopping. Thanks for sharing.
Very cute! How funny -- your blog entrees have been so much fun!!
What a fun-filled shopping adventure for the traveling teapot!I loved the Orla Kiely teapot fabric purse, but I know it probably had a hefty price. How wonderful to have a Tea Hive tea bar closeby. California is home to almost all of the fabulous tea places! It's great that you live there and can go to most of them and share your adventures with us!
Now I am wondering who you had in mind when you posted this blog entry. What fun this little plum teapot has had and the month is not even near being over. I am loving the adventures~
I'm right there with the Kentucky Blend to start your day. What a silly little teapot going incognito.
I would have to include Old Town Orange as part of your shopping "malls". as it is one of my favorite places to shop. :)
