This day was spent photographing for a tea post. I have been honored with a request to participate as a guest contributor to a feature on tea ware.
I had mentioned on Day One, while we were sipping tea at T Shop, there was a tea blogger in attendance that I had never met, Georgia, Notes on Tea.
What a surprise when I got e-mail the next day asking me to participate as a guest blogger:
“We have not formally met yet but I hope you will participate in “Favorite TeaWare”, a new series on the Notes on Tea blog.
As a tea drinker, and I am sure this is true for you, I adore teaware, from bombillas to matcha whisks. But everyone has their favorites! What are yours? I hope you will share them with Notes on Tea readers.
If you decide to participate, and I hope you will, please send photos of your favorite tea ware (3-5 pieces) with a brief description of each. I’d love to know where you got each piece or who gave it to you and why it’s a favorite. Nicole Martin and Jee Choe have contributed to the series.
Thank you in advance!”
Well, with all the blogging I have been doing I said “Why not?”
Little did I know, with my IPod as my only photography equipment, that this would be a challenge.
Well it is completed. I will let you know if and when it is released.
Since all the tea ware I own are favorites, culling the collection to include only a few was not easy.
In the grouping I left out two special pieces in my collection that I will share now.
My “Grown- Up”, tea set that was given to me by my husband on our last anniversary. This Benjarong (Benjarong means five colors the limit for traditional pieces) ware, made in Thailand, is a classic design, multi-colored with delicate hand-painted tiny patterns. The set is porcelain trimmed in gold.
I use it rarely, as it is a treasure.
And also, this lovely piece given to me by my dear friends from “Down Under”and it is a “bonzer”, perfect for my morning brew.
Sending hugs.

We also love our teaware. Most of it has been in transit since May last year, so when it all arrives in another two weeks, we will be able to rediscover it.
Your treasure is treasure indeed, we saw showrooms of such things in Thailand and sadly, no photography is allowed in them.
And congrats on the guest blogger spot.
