Tea, Cake and Discounts


I am having a nice chilled out Bank Holiday weekend before the onslaught begins on a very busy month on the run up to my holiday. Yesterday I was up in town having a very lovely afternoon with Ms Tiina Burton we try to meet up as often as we can to have tea, chat and a good old natter. This is then usually followed by a good old window shopping session. She is very good at stopping me from buying jewellery. I need someone to do this.... 

Now normally we go to Liberty's for tea but since they have changed the menu (which is so dull) and reduced the number of tea it offers (which is now piss poor) I was on the hunt for somewhere new. Just round the corner in Carnaby Street is Kingly Court (highly recommend it great boutique shops) and up on the very top floor is Camellia's Tea House. Oh my lord so many teas to choose from I personally loved 'Skinny Bitch' but opted for Sweet Orange which was lush. This helped wash down the scones, yummy. Very good prices far cheaper than Liberty's and a much nicer atmosphere. For those in a wheelchair whilst it is a little awkward to get round you can get to the top floor via the lift. The staff were very nice too (again better than the snotty lot at Liberty's which can sometimes ruin a good day out). www.camelliasteahouse.com  <-edited

No trip to Carnaby's is complete without a quick dive into the Play Lounge were yet again I walked out with items I didn't really need to purchase but couldn't bring myself to leave behind. So I got some really cute stickers and another 'I love Tea' (lunaartik.com) I am determined to find Earl but got Oolong instead (blue one). They are slowly starting to overtake the flat. I was really tempted to by the uber large Cavey (it was pink and squishy) but stopped short from do so, another time. 

You will note also in the photo below (left) that I have redrawn the headpiece design, I was bored on a train, I think I prefer the design on the second teardrop shape various running stitched circles rather than running stitched lines, works better with the other shapes on the design. 

Now its time for me to pull my finger out, stick Supernatural on and stitch. 


Oh before I disappear to stitch let me tell you about the following discount code: DCHUZZAH11 which is now active in my Etsy store from now till the 18th. It entitles the buyer to 15% discount. It's a little something before the store closes for my autumn vacation.

  1. Been a while since I've been to central London, clearly going to need to head in at some point DX

    Just wanted to let you know that the link to the tea place website doesn't work as the URL features a space and / at the end that break it!
