testing blog

I may have only 2 minutes as Elijah is asleep and he is not sleeping for long these days! There is a bajillion things i need to fit into 20 minutes so this blogging test must be short and sweet! Shineon is mine and genes baby.. we are about to launch our new website and we thought it would be fun to create a blog site for people to check out our fashion thoughts and feelings.. So here she is!

I would like to start by saying that SHINEON loves teaparties. I know it has been done hugely.. and that every baby shower i have been to in the past year have involved teapots and cupcakes but i have to say I LOVE IT! Just the other day Gene and myself were invited to a friends house for tea and she opened up a CABINET to get out her teacups!!

Gone are the days that you were passed a huge mug full of luke warm almost dull tasting dilmah...

Back in fashion are the individual porcelian teacups.. ( with matching saucers!!) eclectic mixes of florals and golds. There is something so beautiful about real teacups... the delicate nature of them! that if you slipped there could be a major chipping accident.... It makes you stop and be careful! Stop and savour!!! And dont get me started on devonshire!!

So at shineon this week.. in order to indulge our new obsession.. gene and myself have been scouring www.trademe.co.nz for amazing new vintage pieces for our at home tea parties.. And we simply cannot believe what is out there!!!Last night the most delicious of teasets closed at $16!!! ( more expensive as i was bidding on it!) i stopped my self as gene thought the tea pot too big.. But still! $16! all inclusive of pot and teacups... I have added a picture above of the delicious $16 tea set.

So i have to go but you must know that tea is not the same from mugs. You must try a teaparty.. with the old school tea set.. you will be surprised how much it improves your life. A little thing.. but huge at the same time...
