“Wherever you are in the world, you are at home when tea is served.”

According to the The UK Tea & Infusions Association 84% of the UK population drinks tea every day. Tea is my favourite drink as well. These pictures were taken in London at I believe at the outdoor seating of an Arab restaurant.
Teapots RepurposedTeapots Repurposed
I love how they repurposed these old teapots into flower vases. It combines the British love of tea with their love of flowers.
What do you think, are these teapots your cup of tea?
Going off the beaten path and travelling on a country road I had not travelled on before, I had to stop and take this picture.
Half Moon Farm Van
It is another example of using an vintage vehicle to advertise. This one advertises a farm. Go off the beaten path once in a while, there are interesting things to see.
One my way to a store in Ocean City, Maryland I saw these two vintage vehicles used to advertise a business. They are still in good shape with nice paint jobs.
Pizza Tugos in Ocean CityPizza TugosAn old fire truck was used to advertise Nick’s House of Ribs in Ocean City.
I wonder if today’s vans and trucks will every be used in this fashion in the future. I love this creative way to advertise a business. What do you think?
Monger’s Market is a vintage warehouse in Bridgeport, Ct. It is only open on Sundays. It can be closed on Sundays that are holidays. They have a variety of items you can see on their Facebook page. Some items are new while many are vintage or repurposed. These are just some of the items that caught my eye.
It appears to be modelled on an 18th Century outfit for a Scottish Highlanders regiment.. The socks resemble those of the 42 Highlanders. Feel free to correct me though if you know otherwise. This was actually in the neighbourhood of 3 feet high. This is fancier than most antique phones I have seen.A very unique locker lampOld bed twin bed head and foot frameI really loved the colours on this lamp base.Old Camera- I had to take a picture of this!
Parking
They have a small lot on premises and there is on street parking. I have heard it is better to get their early to get a parking spot.
Overall I would say this is worth a Sunday trip. Check their website or facebook page to make sure they are open or view some of the items they have.
