Some might speculate that I'm behind the times, but it was only recently that I stumbled across a beauteous little blog by the name of Tea for Joy. The blogger behind it, Lynne, has a something of a penchant for all things vintage, British and tea-themed, so it was a match made in heaven for Domestic Sluttery.My favourite of her recent features is this gorgeous polaroid print, by Madrid artist JuliaBe. Even better, she recently wrote about some of the wondrous and whimsical bric-a-brac to be bought from Re-Found Objects, a shop we featured a while back. Great minds think alike and all that, eh? Especially ones that obsess over vintage jelly moulds, cake stands, baking trays and tape measures.
And for the cash-strapped amongst us, Lynne's also compiled some quaint and quirky Christmas gift guides, including a selection for £10 and under. She seems to have a real knack for tracking down unique but affordable art, tea shops from the sophisticated and elegant to the chintzy and shabby-chic, as well as gorgeous original gifts to suit even the most meagre of budgets. We'll definitely be reading Tea for Joy from now on, and recommend you do the same.
Is there a blog that isn't on our blogroll that you think we'd adore? Let us know in the comments if so!

ReplyDeleteTea for Joy is a fabulous blog. I get a little bit excited when I see a post pop up in my RSS feed.
ReplyDeleteFor all of those who like tea...
ReplyDeleteI host Vintage Afternoon Tea parties from my home in Brighton. Usually on Sundays, it is a relaxed yet genteel affair. The is table laid with mismatched china and various quirky little additions with music from the 30s. Cakes and savouries are all made by me and change as and when, and served by a very pretty waitress indeed !
If you fancy something a litle different either for yourself or as a treat to a friend or family member then you are most welcome to come along.
Tickets are usually bought prior to the day through wegottickets or you can look at my blog
