Tea Valentines

So all you need is . . .

* Basket
* Ribbon
* Beverage Napkins
* Favorite Tea
* Clear Plastic CD/DVD Sleeves
* Love Notes
* Tissue Paper
* Swiffer Duster (This is if you use burlap or have any other little fibers that might have a static attraction to the sleeves)

Simply slide beverage napkins in sleeves and place the individually wrapped tea of your choice in the corner. You can add little love messages on back or inside as you wish. Have fun playing with the ribbon to get it just how you like it on the basket. Fill in bottom of basket with tissue paper to help Valentines position well.

LOVE great deals at yard sales! I would say finding fifty yards of white, wire edged ribbon for 25 cents was a thrill for me. The red basket was found at a another sale. Happily, I found a great new use for CD/DVD clear plastic sleeves that can be ordered from PSI Media Supplies. They hold the beverage napkins just perfectly! Now the stage is almost set for serving out Twinings and Stash tea with decorative beverage napkins.

That's it! Now you have your Valentines ready to go with love, in a hand basket!

Tea for one or two, maybe more? These Valentines are great for coworkers, neighbors, book club members and Downton Fans! They are easy to assemble, and little love or encouraging notes can be simply inserted as well.

Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant
  or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;
  it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.
 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
  Love never ends...
