Cool Idea: Frankensteined China, Two Ways
Belarusian artist Vika Mitrichenka makes gorgeous tea sets by casting broken pieces of china together, which were picked up by Dutch Design Shop Frozen Fountain, as well as the Stedelijk Museum. At $5,742 for a limited edition set of serving tray, tea pot, dish, sugar and cream bowls, and cup and saucer, you'd better have a pretty tame tea party if you want to use them, but I think it's best to think of Mitrichenka's work as fine art sculptures.

Steal of the Day: Viva Terra Porcelain Branch Teapot
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. Or, you can cut the stems of your favorite bouquet short, and fill it for a fresh, Spring-y centerpiece. It's true, the cream and sugar set is sold out, but I think the Michael Aram Twig Sugar and Creamer Set ($40) would work marvelously with it.

Desire/Acquire: Tea Set Lamp
The Anthropologie One-Lump-or-Two Lamp ($198) is quite cute in a British country cottage way, and I adore its espresso cup finial. But, I'd say it's a tad overpriced for a table lamp that looks so crafty, and that doesn't come with a shade. Luckily, there's a more affordable alternative that can be customized to fit your color scheme.
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! It's classic and elegant, rather than seasonal and trendy.

Home Away From Home: The Langham in London Reopens
One of the largest, oldest, and best-known "grand hotels" in London, The Langham, reopened yesterday after a $130 million refurbishment. Mayor of London Boris Johnson and the hotel's managing director Katie Benson officially reopened the hotel yesterday with a ceremonial ribbon-cutting. The historic hotel was built in 1865, and over the years, has been frequented by the likes of Mark Twain, Napoleon III, and Oscar Wilde, and even became the set of several of Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories.
Etsy Find: Four-Tier Antique Jewelry Stand
I recently asked whether or not you display your jewelry, and the response was mixed. Well, I have a sneaking suspicion that if you all were the proud owners of this Who Made It Four-Tier Antique Jewelry Stand ($80.50), the answer would be an unequivocal, resounding YES! This gorgeous and delicate stand is one of a kind, made from both new and antique dishes.

Ready to throw a garden party? With this set of Glass Tealights and Garden Stakes (originally $59.99, on sale for $29.99), your garden will be the hit of an evening party, as the glass tea lights gently illuminate its blossoms and greenery.
This set includes 12 powder-coated black metal stakes that are almost three feet high, and different colored glass tea light cups.
DIY: Teacup Candles
When I spotted these beautiful gold-trimmed antique tea cups at a flea market, I knew that I had to take them home. But how to use them? Instead of using them for a tea party, I decided to transform them into eco-friendly soy wax candles.
