In the Middle Room

In the middle room of the tea room, this set of shelves graces one side of the wall, while the Hershey collection is gathered on a shelf that extends across the rest of the wall.  Whimsical teapots, several Cardew collectible tea pots, the mystery writers desk and the vintage sewing machine (both marked Cardew Design, Made in England), and other fun teapot shapes and designs are tucked on these shelves.  There is a small collection of children's teapots, and a few fairy themed pots also.  Lots of detail and design to discover while standing in front of the shelf.

 In addition to tea, we love chocolate, too!  Antique candy molds and Hershey memorabilia round out the very top shelf.  Assorted cocoa tins complete the collection.

This colorful vignette features Alice in Wonderland.  The large and small teapots, both colorful and cheerful,marked as Cardew Classics were designed in England but crafted in China and Indonesia. The sweet little teacups and saucers, packaged in the round Alice's Teaparty Tea Set box, were purchased at Tuesday Morning, an eclectic shop that routinely changes inventory.  I can always find something to purchase when I stop there!
