Fun Tea Find and Snow Pictures

After being snowed in, I immediately wanted to go shopping.  So of course I ended up at Homegoods.  Sometimes I think it is pretty unfortunate (for my pocketbook) that I live so close to one.  And yet it is wonderful. 

During this last trip I got three different things for under $20!  Today I'm sharing a large plastic tray that I can use as a T.V. tray (now I'm up to 3) or a cute tea tray. 

 

Here is a close up of the pretty blue teapot and teacups with the pink roses.  I really liked the colors in this one.  Anyone for a cup of thé?

I also wanted to share some of the pictures I took during my lunch break.  I've been meaning to take pictures of Washington, D.C. in the winter, but I never have my camera when there is snow on the ground.
