Hooray for English Imports!


OK - buckle up. This one's really cute.

A very pizzazzy enamel tea tin! Come on, you know this is adorable - don't try to tell me that this wouldn't snazz up your countertop!

And because you need some authentic English tea to go into your authentic English tea tin . . .


A very festive package of very English tea! I mean - seriously. Tea specifically made for elevenses . . . how much more bona fide could you get?

And since it would be downright pitiful to have a cup of tea for elevenses without real English biscuits to go with it . . .


A package of "Digestives" so that you can have the full on experience!

Yes. Digestives.

Why digestives, you ask? Why would anyone name a cookie so that it sounds like melba toast? I frankly don't know. I think it's weird myself. But I can vouch for it that they're good . . .

And then last but definitely not least . . .

A skirty! (In winner's choice of size.)

Now - about how to enter. Leave a comment and you'll be entered once, link to this post and you'll be entered again! And just like last time, make sure to include your link in your comment to make doubly sure that I see it!

Also - be sure to notice that the winner of the last purse was someone who had linked.

Moral: It pays to link.

Go thou and do likewise.

WooHoo! I get to be first! That's sorta like winning something, isn't it? Anyhow, count me in again! This is fun! (And now that we're expecting again, a caffeine free replacement for coffee would be delightful!) So would a skirty. I need to order a few, because my 4 y/o can't seem to grasp the concept of "sitting like a lady!"

Bethany said...

So cute, the tea and all. And of course, the skirty is cute.

Sweetpeas said...

Kristen said...

A snazzy red tea tin (which would match my kitchen), delicious tea, yummy treat and a skirty?? Of course I will post a comment!!

Christine said...

Super cute tin! My only quandry about possibly winning is that with having 3 little women I'll most definitely have to buy 2!

Anna said...

Oh, that tin would match my kitchen perfectly. And you just can't beat real English tea. Count me in again!

Rebecca said...

My grandmother was brought up in Canada and still takes her 4 pm cup daily, so I come by my love of tea honestly!

Molly said...

Count me in. I love all of these purses!

Mark Rauch said...

Please count me in! I've finally have a daughter and a skirty will be lovely to have for her.

richard said...

Oh fun. I love red, dots, Rooibos (spelled all posh), and lacy drawers. I'd link or do any of that fancy stuff if I were so lucky as to have a non-defunct blog. :D (If only I had some Maldon to throw over my shoulder...)

Megan Okimoto said...

Oops...that was not Richard. That was me. :D

Brett & Laurie said...

O Yeah! One can Never have enough Red splashed around the house!~~Love it!

Melissa said...

Ok...I'm linking. I'm a tea lover. The digestives make me laugh....sounds like an antacid or something medicinal.

and I linked you:

My toddler could use a skirty for sure.

queen shenaynay said...

rachel said...

I am a firm believer in a little red in every room. Linked on my site....http://rachelchris.wordpress.com/2008/09/26/eitheror-a-skirty-i-will-have/

Newlyn said...

Since I don't blog, I'll have to rely on my good old solitary entry. Love rooibos, polka dots and have a 6 and 8 year old who would fight over who got the skirty. (My 14 and 15 year old girls would fight over the skirty, too, if you had their size!)

Angie said...

Enter me, please. I'm a fan of tea, digestives, and Skirties.

Rae said...

Kyna said...

My Irish grandmother still takes eleven and four o'clock tea. As a family, we keep the four o'clock tea tradition going, but substitute coffee at eleven o'clock!

So, I'm definitely in!

Kyna said...

Please add me again for this (http://cheeringon.blogspot.com/2008/09/amoretti.html) blog post. :)

fosterheartsathome said...

My midwife would love to see me drinking tea rather than coffee and I would absolutely need a brightly colored container for it! The girls would commense an intese discussion concerning who would be the sole proprietor of the skirty and I would take the digestives to my room and sip away.

Dulce Domum said...

Hmmm, I know why they're called "Digestives", if you're interested. When they were fist marketed, in the 19th century, it was supposed they aided the digestion, as they're made from wholewheat flour. Back then we were a nation absolutely obsessed by the state of our stomachs and all manner of illnesses were attributed to indigestion and the dreaded constipation. These biscuits are "medicine" don't ya know!

Boysnberries' Brambles said...

Life is better after elevenses. And Rooibosch with Digestives. It's making me miss my England.

Elena said...

That tea tin is so cute!

Franci said...

I'd love to be in! However, I'll have to pull you up on the rooibos tea... it's not from England, it's from South Africa! (Confused sense of national pride coming from this South African in New Zealand). Check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rooibos_tea

Jen said...

Please count me in. I love tea. Everything is so cute.

Joanne said...

We love tea, especially during the cooler months of the year. We have friends in Wales who introduced us to digestives. They really are yummy!
And we have a daughter too.

Theresa N. said...

I have to agree Digestives is a very odd name, but I'd love to try them.

Well as usual this sounds like a fun giveaway, count me in! (Please and Thank you.) I love a nice cup of tea in the morning at work, and would love the red tea-tin to go with the rest of the red accents in my kitchen.

Not sure if I did this right, but here's my link...

I'll share your contest on my site.

Peggy Sue said...

Count me in! Sounds jolly good! (sorry :) )

bethd said...

I really like your website and enjoy browsing from time to time.

RuthE said...

Hi, Count me in again and I'll place a link in a post as well!!
Summer is just around the corner down under and a skirty would be great for either of my girls!
The tea is also a favourite for me but I always thought that Rooibus Tea originated from South Africa?

bethd said...

I enjoy checking you website. Your skirties are a great idea for my girls.

missdannye said...

It will still be another year before my baby will fit into a skirty, but I already have a box of big girl clothes, and I know we will need one soon. Love the tea theme.

Allison said...

Mmmmm. I looove digestives. Are Hob Nobs next? Give me on of those skirties ... my 3 year old would be able to keep up her kung fu with her older brother for sure now.

nGogo said...

Love our South African rooibos tea. Must say though that being an American in SA I had to develop a taste for it. And in SA we used to use digestive biscuits as a substitute for graham crackers and crushed them up to make pie crust. Yum! Thanks for the great giveaway. My granddaughters would love a skirty, but which one would get it. Hmmm.

Esther said...

Did you know that sending stuff from the UK to Holland is cheaper than sending it to the States? ;)
I'm gonna restart our own blog just to create a link to you!

blueviolet said...

What a fun bunch of goodies and I have actually tried those digestives and those are super tasty! yummmmmy. I love the tea idea now that fall has arrived and the skirty, well, that's just a brilliant idea.

sccarlisles said...

My three year old really should have a skirty. And I can vouch for the goodness of Digestives.

Anonymous said...

This is so neat! I have no idea how to "link" and I don't have a blog site, but your site sure is fun! I am purchasing 3 skirty's though, so I guess I will be entered 4 times right! Don't even have an "identity" so I will just sign my name here! I did pass your site along to my sister in laws though! we have 7 girls between the three of us!

Kathy said...

I would love to be able to try one of your skirty's. And a cup of tea sounds so cozy now that it is getting colder!

rahraht said...

Just wondering if your "Serious Woop" on the way to
oxford required a Skirty ? :)
Anyway, please sign me up!!!

Amy said...

My 2 year old would look too cute in the little skirty and I love that cute little tin (matches my kitchen).

Lara said...

Today I was convinced my 7 year old needs a Skirty when she continued to twirl and twirl and twirl as her skirt went higher and higher. Count me in!

Deborah said...

Hi Bekah! That's a fun Purse! I first tasted Rooibos in South Africa, where they drink it with a little milk and sugar, at any time of day and especially with meals like we Americans would drink coffee--they even give it to colic-y babies! And those digestives are delicious! It's been a while though...yum. :)
