15 Ways to Decorate to a "Tea"
Not just for mad hatters and March hares, the makings of a tea party, namely teapots and teacups, are showing up in the home — and used for everything except having tea!

Even if you're a coffee person, the Viva Terra Porcelain Branch Teapot ($34, reduced from $69) is so woodsy and whimsically beautiful, I'd endorse using it just for decoration.

How fabulous are these Read more
Nice and New: Urban Outfitters Tea for One Set
I'm pretty surprised by this ceramic pink botanical Urban Outfitters Tea for One Set ($24). The floral print is so different from their usual inventory—in a good way!

Maybe tea for one isn't as fun as tea for two (or three Read more
