T Stands for Topiary Tea

Before leaving the topiary, we stopped at the little, gift shop. I saw these very cute teacup and luncheon sets with a sweet, black bear peeking in the cup.

Though the luncheon set was cute and unusual with the wavy plates, I decided I didn't really have a use for them. Instead, I chose an adorable, black bear ornament. Not that I really have a use for him, but he does look sweet on the Seussical tree in the studio.

Drop by hosts, Bleubeard and Elizabeth's blog to find out what the rest of the T Stands For gang is up to. If you want to play, include in your Tuesday post a beverage or container for a beverage. Don't forget to link your blog to Bleubeard and Elizabeth's page.
