Spring has officially arrived and I am so ready for a change in temp. I used to love winter but as I have gotten older, it’s been pushed to the back. I’m just tired of being cold, bundling up in 60 million items of clothes (okay a total exaggeration but sometimes it feels that way), and I miss all the beauty of trees and flowers in bloom. I’m just tired of it. AND I would not be a true Canadian if I did not complain about it, ha!

For today’s post I wanted to cheer myself up and maybe some of my readers who are in the same boat and share some lovely Vintage Spring magazine covers and advertisements.

Ready Friends? Lets Polka into Spring!

Glorious wonderful Tea. It’s been enjoyed for 1000’s of years all over the world from Kings and Queens to moms and dads, with no sign of ever going away. Now I’m personally more of a coffee drinker, but I do enjoy a nice flavoured cup once in a while and I always have it on hand for guests (this is mandatory as a host).

Today’s post is going to showcase vintage advertising for Tea brands from the 1920s – 1950s. Enjoy!
