Remember this?
Well, I have been cleaning out my studio (more about that later!) and I have decided to do another teapot giveaway as special thanks to everyone who comes to my blog! All you need to do is to leave a comment here telling me your favorite autumn tea. Then, on Monday at 8:00 pm I will write down all your names of tidbits of folded paper, toss them in the teapot and see who is the most lucky winner!
My favorite autumn tea (and I won’t be surprised if it is your favorite as well) is a creamy, cinnamon-y chai latte. I love to walk through the woods with a warm cupful in my mittened hand and daydream.
So, the little fabric-covered patchwork goodness is waiting for you… please son’t be shy! I would LOVE to send this your way!
What have I been up to? Well, I have decided that my under-the-eaves studio is much too cramped, so I am moving things about trying to fit them so my workspace is more efficient. I don’t sew much due to all the painting so I am putting away my ceiling-high fabric stash, and replacing it with a vintage dress form. Awhile ago I purchased a lovely victorian lace blouse (very well wron and torn from the turn-of-the-century…in black!) So I though I would display it for the autumn months ahead. It really is a magical piece of clothing with a bit of darkness and mystery due to the age and the coloring of the lace. It has handstitching throughout and that within itself is a joy!
The days have been dark and dreary with lots of rain. And cold! Despite the dampness I managed to bundle up …gosh, it’s August… and take some pretty walks. I even collected some acorns yesterday. I have been painting a new piece as well. Oh, and books! I went to the library yesterday and brough home the most delicious stack of books. Hooray for rainy days.
If I’m at home, my favorite autumn tea is ginger peach. When I’m reading at the coffee shop, I like to have a chai tea latte.

I need your addy!
Best autumn tea for me would have to be chamomile with honey. Mmmm… now I’m gonna go make some tea.
my favorite tea for this season is Earl Grey de la Creme, it has vanilla and bergamont in it so the blue flowers float around in the tea ball as it steeps. Perfection.
I’ll send you some if you’d like.
I like strawberry tea in autumn, but best of all I like all the yummy flavours of hot chocolate which I got as a birthday present 🙂
For the cooler months (and I use that term loosely, as I live in California) I appreciate my fireside chai tea. I add sweet acidopholous milk to it and it is just such a joy!
chamomile with extra honey – although in the fall i’d probably actually be drinking warm cider with cinnamon.
There’s only one answer in my mind and that is organic liquorice tea! It suits with strong books and feelings. And rain. The flavour causes the excitement needed in autumn.
Autumn is my favorite time of year, as well! I love making a cup of english breakfast and using a cinnamon stick as a stir stick to give the tea a fall flavor. Adding a little pumpkin spice is also delicious.
Definitely chai as well for me and although I love teapots I am a vanilla latte fan through and through.
Oh my goodness! what a wonderful give away and what a wonderful person you are to be doing this.
As my email address says, i love ginger lily tea oh and almond and summer berry mix.
I was in the tea shop the other day and i saw a strawberries and cream tea and thought this would be absoulty lovely for a sunny autumn weekend.

My favorite autumn tea is Jasmine tea. It really keeps me warm but isn’t too heavy.
apple & nutmeg xxx
Oh it most DEFINITELY is chai! My husband brews it himself with chai tea leaves – I love the smell of cinnamon and cardamom as it brews. Then he adds honey and cream. Yum!!!!!
oh my goodness! so lovely you are!!! yet again, sharing something so beautiful!
im a chai girl. also love apple nutmeg, and pumpkin spice.
although, in my life, irish tea, is a staple. i prefer lyons green original.
and fondly remember the huge teapot on grannys stove always filled and ready to be poured
in any moment.
Chai for me too 😀 In autumn I love to grab a cup of vanilla chai and go to my nice comfy secluded spot by our creek with a handful of books and sip away the day ^_^
My favorite autumn tea is ginger lemon. It this first tea I buy when it starts to get cold. Mmmm…

During Autumn, which is my absolute favorite season of all, I drink hot spiced cider with a cinnamon stick in it. I love bringing it outside with me and walking and looking at all the wonderful leaves!
Earl grey tea with a bit of milk–soothing and helps me stay up past the short daylight hours!
Hi Sarah!! I’m not entering as I already won a lovely teapot from you which has a special place in my home. 🙂 I did get both prints and you did not have to send the check for the difference. You are too sweet. They are such a beautiful pair!! Yay!!! They look wonderful on my wall! Have a relaxing weekend and I do wish that cooler weather was down here! 😀
Oh autumn is my favourite time of the year with all of the colourful leaves, candles and raining. I love to wear myself in warm clothes and go outside to sit in a tree with a good book and a cup of wisdom of stay. I have a favourite tea for all seasons and wisdom of stay is my favourite for the fall. It’s a black tea with pomegranate, strawberry and lemon flavours.
After summer I have also gathered ingredients for the tea I make myself. I’ts made from raspberry leaves, rosehips and mint. This tea is only for special occasions like late fall picnics in the fields with the colourful nature, cold weather, warm clothes, fluffy blankets and müsli cupcakes.
I’m still waiting for the autumn and I hope that i’s going to be peaceful, rainy and colourful.
