Tea With All the Irish Stuff!
As St. Patrick’s Day approaches, I always try to procure an Irish-style tea. However, in years past I realized I was seriously lacking on the Irish teaware front.

Pfaltzgraff Winterberry Collection
My small Pfaltzgraff Winterberry dinnerware and tea ware collection started with a single mug brought from the old Linen N’ Things stores many years ago. I love the traditional, original berry vine and not some of the new variations. I have shown GREAT restraint over the years by not ordering every piece of the collection.…
