***UPDATE February 22nd 2015 These are no longer available the store I got them from has closed.BUT DOLLAR TREE DOES CARRY SIMILAR ONES!
Dollar store tea sets are one of my favorite purchases. Weather you are looking for plastic like Samantha and Chrissa are enjoying on the table in the photo above or if you prefer China tea sets, check your local dollar stores first before ordering on line.
I have fallen in love with little tea sets, as I child if I ever had one I know it did not last long as I was a bit of a bull in a china shop but now I have a small collection of china ones that I keep for special occasions, and wonderful plastic ones for every day use. All of which I bought at the dollar store. The purple set which I love and is featured on the table in the above photo was $1.25 and comes with 4 plates 4 cups and a juice jug, so I think of it as an iced tea set and the doll food looks great on the plates. the best part is the dolls can easily hold the cups with out help.
It also comes in pink. If you fall in love with these and can not find them near you let me know and I can sell you a set at cost plus postage just email me and we can work something out or check out my etsy shop, link at then end of this blog post. The other sets shown in the photo I got at a dollar store in West Vancouver at the Park Royal Mall for $2.50 each they come with a tea pot, two tea cups and sauces, a sugar and a creamer. I love them but only bring them out for special occasions. There are also many other dollar store plastic tea sets available, a pink on featured below that may not look fantastic in the package as they usually have a baby-ish sticker on them but simply purchase and peel off the sticker for a great tea set.
The best part is that at the cost of these sets you can have more then one, in fact I totally recommend picking up a few and storing them for up coming special occasions or the next rainy day. Nothing beats a great tea party!

ReplyDeleteI've got the purple tea set!
ReplyDeleteWhat dollar store did you get the purple tea set. I live in New Mexico and those things are hard to find. We have Dollar Tree, Dollar General and Family Dollar around our area. The name of the store would be great.
