I’ve had my first pot of hot tea for the season over a month ago. I love being able to enjoy a cup (or three or six) of tea first thing in the morning. And when the winter turns bitter cold, there’s nothing I like better than a hot cuppa after trudging through snow and chipping ice out of water buckets.
Actually, there are a bunch of things I like better, or as much as tea, but they wouldn't do well in shipping. Cats, for example. Cute, fuzzy, wonderful little creatures they are. But imagine the crazed, hissing & spitting ball of fury that would launch it’s razor-sharp claws at your face upon opening the parcel at your home. Not going to be a pretty sight. And a lawsuit wouldn't be out of the question I suppose. So I opted for something more seasonal and less lethal.
Now where was I?
Oh yeah, the giveaway. Up for grabs is one festive-looking teapot and a variety of teas to make six pots of delicious tea:
One new teapot and two each of the following Bigelow teas: Spiced Chai, Orange & Spice, Vanilla Caramel, Peppermint, Chinese Oolong and English Teatime.
You get two chances to win; one entry for a plain ol’ comment saying you’d like to enter and one entry if you link to this page on your blog & let me know. To be fair to those who don’t have a blog, just make a separate comment saying something nice about cats. Open to US addresses only. I’ll pick a winner in a week (or whenever I get to it….it’s my blog, so I can do whatever I want).
Made a cake! Thanks for the inspiration Mooberry Farm! That lady makes a cake for every conceivable event.
Good luck! Sorry I couldn’t share the cake with you. Well, I suppose I could ship a slice with the teapot, but couldn't guarantee how well it would hold up. Especially with the cat.
Please enter me for the teapot drawing.
ReplyDeleteYour cake looks yummy.

If I don't win, I hope my devotion will get you to share that recipe with us!
Ok, OK! I'll "Try" finding the recipe for the cinnamon rolls! Honestly, I just did a search on Google & this one came up looked good, so wish me luck trying to find it again. All I know is that the recipe included EIGHT cups of flour and an entire POUND of butter!
ReplyDeleteHappy Blog Birthday!
ReplyDeleteWanted to say Huzzah on your 1 year!

My favorite thing about cats is the purrrring sound. It's very soothing for me.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I will definitely try to find that recipe... And a whole poud of butter? they most definitely MUST be tasty. Yum!
ReplyDeleteI would likes to win!!
ReplyDeleteHi Carolyn--I am here to copy the link to put on my blog.... hope I'm not too late to promote your giveaway! Post is going on in the morning. :)
ReplyDeleteMooberry, not too late! Although you could just say something nice about cats & call it even :) Besides, it's kind'a cruel to make people post about the giveaway since it reduces their chances of winning! Next one I won't do that.....something more fun, or at least more original.
