Night of the Living Tea Infuser.
I enjoy tea.
No, it's not as manly as coffee, but I still like it. For a very long time, I only ever made it from supermarket-esque tea bags, but longed to make it with loose leaves in a tea pot or infuser. So, shortly after we were married, Rachel and I picked up this dinky tea infuser from The Kitchen Store in Charlottetown.
We got it instead of an actual tea pot because it was only a few bones, and we figured we'd try it out to see how we liked the whole loose tea thing. As if being interested in drinking loose tea wasn't girly enough, the infuser came with this little girly tea-cup charm on it. I knew it had to go, but had no idea what to replace it with.
A couple of weekends ago, Rachel and I found ourselves at How Bazaar!, a touristy shop found across PEI (and possibly beyond) featuring clothing, decorations, and trinkets from around the world. That was when I first met Little Wooden Zombie Guy.
He was so wooden and undead and cute... As soon as I saw him (and his friends – there were several others like him) I knew he would make a great replacement to the dinky girly tea-cup charm. So home he came. I promptly replaced him at the end of the tea infuser, and put him to work.
He may look innocent, but he'll eat your brain. So watch it.
