Tea box figurines series#

I bought a few pieces of Butterfly Gold & Spring Blossom Corelle for my collection, passed up a few pieces of Corning Ware, but not a drop of Pyrex in site. It's not a GW or an affiliated thrift, just a local church thrift. I found a new thrift store a little out of the way. I drown myself in Love's Fresh Lemon from time to time, and I'd totally rock the Juice Bar Long Island Iced Tea scent if it still existed.ДЄnd as for vintage shopping and thrift scores, life has been brutal. And of course we couldn't wear the same flavor perfume, that would be just unacceptable. I had a friend who used to wear the Gummi Bear scent and it would walk into the room before she did. Cannot find a picture or reference to its existence, but I KNOW it did. The perfume I used to wear was Parfums de Coeur Juice Bar and the scent was Long Island Ice Tea. This particular perfume stumped the entirety of the internet, ebay included, but I did finds its brother and sisters, Gummy Bear and Cotton Candy. In fact, it reminds me of a perfume I used to wear in High School. I'm not sure if I've just never paid attention to the scent of a freshly opened box of tea or if this particular one is extra smell-goody.

I'm no tea pro who can capture culinary particularities with poetry, I can only say it's a nice drinking tea. I haven't had a single cup of it hot yet, but I brewed a pitcher's worth a couple of days ago and have been enjoying it iced.

Tea box figurines series#

I might just break down and buy a previous series just so I have more than just two little figures to put in my printer's tray display.ДЄnd of course, in my excitement for the figurine I've totally neglected to mention the tea. The antique store wanted 10 dollars apiece! Many figurines from previous series can be ordered from the website for 2 dollars each, and they have very inexpensive shipping on them as well. He showed them to me, wondering if they were related to the Wizard of Oz (May is a violet girl & September is a scarecrow, which almost pass for Dorthy and Scarecrow figures!). Incidentally, my husband had spotted some figures from the Calender line in a local antique store before we'd ever heard of Red Rose tea or Wade figurines.

These are match strikers, though I doubt I'll ever use them for this purpose.

There's so much neat history and info on the Red Rose tea site that I won't recap it here, but I did want to try to get a picture of both the Wade mark and the underneath of one of the figurines.
