Entertain: Tea Station with Printables

Sep 02

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Tazo® Tea. All opinions are 100% mine.

If you know me at all, you know I love to entertain. And not just parties, but every day. Brunch, coffee dates, dinners… it’s one of my favourite ways to socialize. When Shane and I were house hunting a couple years ago, that was one of our biggest motivations- a house we could entertain in. Today I’m sharing a simple idea to make entertaining (in my case a casual afternoon hangout with friends) a little more special with a tea station.

I used to put one of these together at almost every baby shower I organized (which has been a lot). I always used mason jars and vintage caddies with twine and clothespins for labels. Lately I’m totally digging a more modern / minimal style, so I wanted to switch it up and try something a little different.

What a sweet idea for entertaining! A simple tea station with printable labels... let's get this part-tea started!

I used a metal tray as a caddy and simple glasses to hold each tea blend. I lettered some labels for all the Tazo® Tea Blends I had and printed them on card stock. My friend and I were looking up tea puns and this one made me giggle, so I lettered it for a free printable for you too, ‘Let’s get this par-tea started’.

I really love displaying the teas in this way so my friends don’t feel awkward about digging through my cupboards to see what blends I have stashed away, feeling like they have to take the first kind they are offered. Personally, I’m a die-hard Awake™ English Breakfast (a breakfast-style black tea) fan, it was my favorite in high school (I made frequent visits to a certain coffee shop to get it- I wasn’t yet too interested in drinking real deal coffee). Every time I am the one shopping for tea, that’s the one I bring home. It reminds me of highschool and having no responsibility. I have friends that swear by Zen™ and Passion®, and my mama’s a fan of the Chai. So obviously, I had to have them all.

Can I talk about highschool for a hot minute? I tell my husband this all the time and he just doesn’t get it. I miss it- but I really didn’t enjoy highschool. But I miss the lack of responsibility- being able to do whatever I wanted with my free time which was most of the time (no other mouths to feed, no other bills to pay, sleeping in and staying up late, not worrying about the future) and everyone around me was in the same life stage so whenever I wanted to do something- there was someone to do it with me. We felt like we had the whole world, our whole life ahead of us and it wasn’t rushing by like it is now. But anyways.. that’s what I miss and for some reason drinking tea makes me feel that way for just a minute. #EndRant

What a sweet idea for entertaining! A simple tea station with printable labels... let's get this part-tea started!

Now that I have these pretty labels printed out, I’m planning to keep them in the tea cupboard so I can pull this together in minutes when I invite friends over. I’m hosting a mom/kiddo group later this week and plan to pull it out then. I love that something so simple can bring a bit of excitement to our day. If you want more information on Tazo Teas (and not about my highschool memories), you can find that here at Tazo.com.

Tell me- would you make a tea station? To have for company or maybe for a special occasion or party to #sipjoyfully? If you do, we would love to see! Share it with us @colleenpastoor @Tazo on social!

Or just tell me your thoughts on highschool, that’s cool too.Advertisement

Who has DIY projects on their mind this year?! @ry Who has DIY projects on their mind this year?! @ryobi_canada and I want to help you start knocking those projects off your list by giving away a new nailer and battery set! #ad 
This tool is what we used for this accent wall and all the trim in our home. It’s the one I used to trim out my built in shelving and add the decorative moulding to my geometric barn door. What I’m saying is this thing is a workhorse and I want you to have one too 😉

Let’s talk about coffee! This is my coffee ‘st Let’s talk about coffee! This is my coffee ‘station’ and the second photo is my dads! I’m talking aaaall about them over on YT today!
Also... see how nice that fresh silicone looks?! 😉 IYKYK
The hallway is finally finished and I’m so stink The hallway is finally finished and I’m so stinking happy! 

It’s felt like such a long time coming for such a small space. Since we moved in 2.5 years ago, this space has seen new doors and hardware, new trim, new floors... twice😅, we changed the boob light to a pot light and I hated it and now it’s got the most beautiful flush mount fixture I’m in love with (thanks @mymitzi!). It finally got some fresh paint and now frames on walls and last but not least... After this weekend, the new floors look like they were here all along (no door jamb gaps!) which was the last thing really bugging me since our flood last year. 

All this to say that home takes time and sometimes getting it right might take a couple tries. Also- the spaces we don’t really think about (hallways) can totally help a house feel like home with some love (and family photos 🥰)
ps. I partnered with #mymitzi to create a tiktok for This makeover... are you following me over there yet?! I’d love if you popped over and said hi!
It’s done! It works! And I’m calling it a grea It’s done! It works! And I’m calling it a great use of my afternoon the other day. Did you catch the stories? These projects both cost me under $10 by using pieces I already had in my home (yay for scraps!) and one package of drawer slides).
You can find the full video about these two kitchen organization projects over on YouTube in collaboration with my friend @love_create_celebrate and her #scrapsmademodern challenge! But for now... I’m rejoicing this coffee maker is off my counter for good 🎉
How’s your January going? Full speed or are you How’s your January going? Full speed or are you taking it a bit slow too? 

I’m not going to lie, I’m easing into this new year thing pretty slowly. All my decorations are still up (we always leave them up til Ukrainian Christmas which is later this week) and I I’ve yet to respond to my emails since before Christmas 😅
I’m enjoying the slowness of it all.
Happy Christmas Eve from our fam to yours 🥰 Happy Christmas Eve from our fam to yours 🥰
Yes, I made the paper bag snowflakes too. Have you Yes, I made the paper bag snowflakes too. Have you? 😅
This year has been one of a kind and I know so man This year has been one of a kind and I know so many people who are taking this year as the push they’ve been waiting for to start a side hustle, start an new career altogether or to just get creative about how they’re making money. So today I’m excited to partner with @kregjig to share some rad projects to make and sell this year! 
Like this rolling storage system I made for my office, that rad dollhouse and the gorgeous bath toy storage. All of these projects are things that I’d personally love to buy for our family and look like they’d be a great return on your time making them! And yes, all of them use #Kreg tools to make them easy to assemble and quick to make! Plus, they’re having a great sale on right now with deals on their K4 and K5 jigs, Rip-Cut and even a hardware jig bundle! There’s never been a better time to get your workshop set up!  #sponsored
Just a peaceful moment and then a real life moment Just a peaceful moment and then a real life moment for ya 🙃
