Imperial Porcelain’s Singing Garden

Sharing with you my latest tea cup find:  the beautiful Singing Garden design from Imperial Porcelain Russia.  I bought this set of tea cup, saucer and cake plate from an Instagram reseller: @londontrolley.  It was an unscheduled purchase; I was just browsing through her Instagram feed when I saw this set on sale! The Singing Garden is a beautiful design by the celebrated ... READ MORE

An Afternoon Tea, Mariage Frères Style

08.21.2015 by Leah // 8 Comments

The next time you find yourself at Century City Mall, do stop by Lartizan Boulangerie Francaise and have a salon de the experience with their très abordable Le The d'Apres-Midi (Afternoon Tea). Thought you couldn't get more French than the eclair and macaron on the menu?  Wait till you see their wide selection of Mariage Frères premium leaf teas.  Yes, Mariage Frères, as ... READ MORE

The Good Stuff #8

07.10.2015 by Leah // Leave a Comment

The foodie in me strikes again! Here's another round-up of good food I've discovered (and re-discovered) the past months: Veal Cheeks Ravioli at Va Bene Pasta Deli.   A ravioli dish like no other.  Portobello mushroom sauce, veal juice and parmesan cheese makes up this ordinary looking but divine pasta dish. Dynamite Roll at Jipan. Since I discovered this ... READ MORE

Cath Kidston’s Summer Sale!

06.11.2015 by Leah // Leave a Comment

Check it out, ladies!  Cath Kidston's biggest sale (of the year) is now on!  Just click on the banner above and start shopping away! I haven't decided yet if I will buy from this sale, but seeing that there are lots of items marked down at 40%, I might just swipe my credit card away! Thankfully, I am eyeing only 1 item - a cup and saucer set - but I wanted to get 6 of ... READ MORE

Smitten with PiP

10.06.2014 by Leah // Leave a Comment

A few days ago I featured this Dutch shop called PiP Studio which I likened to Cath Kidston because of their colorful and detailed prints and illustrations. Click here for my post on "PiP Studio". I was particularly drawn to their birds series, thus everything in my PiP Studio 'wish list' is adorned with these winged beauties: (Interested in the same products? ... READ MORE

Tea Cup Gift Tags from Papemelroti

06.29.2014 by Leah // 6 Comments

Just sharing with you my cute finds yesterday at Papemelroti: Tea cup-shaped gift tags with hand-painted drawings.  So pretty! Up close: Each tag costs P5.00.  I bought 2 pieces of each design. Cute noh?  I love that they're cut and printed from recycled papers.  Perfect for the brown paper bags I've been using as wrapping papers. Have a good ... READ MORE

The Good Stuff #3

11.04.2013 by Leah // 18 Comments

Haven't done this in a while.  The past weeks have been full of random food and shopping discoveries, as you can very well see in my Instagram album.   And now that I can sit back and relax a bit from work (I survived the budgeting session, yey!), I can finally write about them. So here is it, the 3rd list of all the good stuff worth sharing with you all: Mini-Lego ... READ MORE

Birthday High: Tea Time at TWG Tea Salon and Boutique

02.15.2013 by Leah // 2 Comments

One of my birthday wishes for this year is to finally experience tea time at TWG Tea Salon and Boutique in Greenbelt 5.    And I got my birthday wish last Saturday when AJ and I were able to score seats for us and my college close pal - and now AJ's Starwars buddy - Pia. We took up Pia's suggestion to try 5 tea varieties - a mix of black, green and fruit teas - and started ... READ MORE

#throwback to Easter 2019 when @ajdeleon77 and I t #throwback to Easter 2019 when @ajdeleon77 and I took mommy and daddy to a double date at Rockwell Powerplant. Today is daddy's 11th month in heaven 💜 The coming weeks are sure going be tough for me because the painful memories from last year will start coming back as we approach his 1st death anniversary. I miss our family bonding time whether in Cebu or Makati, at the mall or simply at home. The over-extended quarantine has made it very difficult for us create new memories as a family (outside videocalls, that is). But I know that with God's grace we will overcome. 🙏

More than half of the leaves dried up.  But look, new buds have started to say 'Hi' just last week 🤗 Need talaga ng patience kapag #plantita ka. 😁
