Sit Down and Have a cUPpa

“Tea time is a chance to slow down, pull back and appreciate our surroundings.” – Letitia Baldridge

Put your feet up … sit down … and have a cuppa. This is I inviting you to join me…Do you use that term too in your country?

Cuppa is a Slang contraction of “cup of”, believed to be Irish in origin. Meaning to have a cup of whatever the person offering is drinking, not necessarily tea, or coffee. ” …

These are some great find in Hope Street Space which is a shop of curios located in Brunswick, Melbourne.

    They are wonderful to look at. Usually though, the pots drip and the cups just don’t feel nice against the lips. Sorry, I’m a cranky realist 😉

    1. Teresa says:

      I guess they are just better as decoration.

    Tea always tastes better in a fancy cup and of course sitting down.
    It seems I always drink my coffee on the run.

    1. Teresa says:

      Oh that’s good if you have the time to appreciate your coffee or tea. Maybe next time.

  9. Those teapots would be cute on the table whether I used them or not! I’ve always wondered about that term “cuppa”. We don’t use it here in the States, but I think it’s neat.

    1. Teresa says:

      Yes, sort of a casual term of invitation.

    We have a ‘cuppa’ in our household. British roots.

    1. Teresa says:

      Yes, that is right! Influence of the ‘Queen’.
