I Like a Nice Cup of Tea in the Morning ....

I do like a nice cup of tea in the morning (Earl Grey preferably) and I'm absolutely no good to anyone until I've downed a really large mug of tea.  Sadly, my largest mug recently met with a tragic end and so I've had to make do with not-as-large-as-I-would-like mugs of tea first thing instead.  This morning at the car boot sale I found a nice large mug, still boxed, for £1.  Not only was it the right size for me but I rather liked the tag line on it too

'Chocolate - It's Like Men .... The Richer The Better!'  You can't argue with that really!!  I know its supposed to be a mug for hot chocolate but, as I don't like hot chocolate, I'll be using it for my morning Rosy Lee instead.  It came with a small grater (originally for grating chocolate but I'll be using it for grating nutmeg) and a small whisk (for whisking grated chocolate I presume which I'll no doubt find a use for when making salad dressing.)

Also found at the car boot this morning was a nice bottle of Body Shop Shower Gel - 50p and a small tub of Body Shop Body Butter - also 50p.  I do like me some Body Shop products in the bathroom.  I'm pretty well stocked now with shower gel, face wash, body butter etc etc but I keep on buying them when I see them as it'll be a long time before the car boot sales start up again and my stock of toiletries will have to keep me going until at least next March or April.  Heaven forbid I'd actually have to buy them from a shop!!  The Body Shop bits are on another rather cheerful vintage pillowcase I found for 20p.  I'm doing very well finding vintage pillowcases lately.

I'm the opposite, my love is for hot chocolate albeit I try to limit myself to 2 a week!

Great finds, perfect timing for the large mug. I just love that pillowcase, I love using vintage linens to make new blankets. I do like a cup of tea, but hot chocolate is also my hot beverage of choice.
