You are never too young (or old) to play tea parties. We all remember holding parties for our teddies and dolls when we were knee high to a grasshopper. Back then, it was probably Granny's second best tea set but now there are a whole host of lovely toys to play with. Here are ten (sorry we couldn't decide) of our favorite tea related toys.
If you didn't know 29 April is the Royal Wedding of the Royal Wedding of HRH Prince William and Kate Middleton. The shops are full of mementos and gifts associated with this special event.
Everything from china to icing sugar (!) has been branded but if you are looking for something tasteful rather than tacky here are some of the nicest items we have seen on the High Street:

We love a vintage teapot first and foremost but there's also some lovely modern teapots available, here are some of the best around:
Polly put the kettle on
Polly put the kettle on we'll all have tea... at Dormouse headquarters we never seem to manage to drink a cup of tea at the same time. One of us might be up in the garden another in the store room it's vital that we have something useful at hand to keep our pot warm. As ever we believe that the functional should be beautiful too and to that end we present out five loveliest tea cosies...
At Dormouse HQ we go through tea towels at the speed of light. Saying that they do work hard for their money, not only do we use them for drying the pots they also have a leading role in polishing china, bread making, photoshoots and nativity plays.
We'd love to have a kitchen cupboard full of lovely tea towels, but unfortunately we would just ruin them, it doesn't stop us window shopping though. Here are our five most longed for - they almost make washing up desirable!
