today's tea

[arliss]

Yes, that's tea--black and strong. Portmeirion teapot, teapot stand, plate, and tea strainer all courtesy of ebay. Other items from antiques shops: cup and saucer from Havelock, NC, tray from Kernersville, NC, cream jug from Southern Pines, NC, sugar bowl from Hillsborough, NC, tongs from Bellingham, WA. Full-leaded Typhoo in the pot, homemade pumpkin-walnut  bread garnished with plain nonfat yogurt. Nom!

I have three Portmeirion teapots, and use them all the time. I *love* their stuff, and if I had unlimited income and somebody to wash and dust, I'd own a lot more. There's a series of mugs.... I've only seen pictures of the village, and of course, the Prisoner series. It appears very picturesque!
