I hope you all had as wonderful a weekend as we did. Ours was one of those 'stay at home for the long weekend' weekends. Although it rained, and rained, and rained, we managed at walk up Mt Kau Kau, go to the park, the pool, and Te Papa. Lovely pancakes, corn fritters and scrambled egg breakfasts each morning at our big $60 table I bought recently off Trade Me (I'm planning a facelift for it - stay tuned for before and afters), dinner at friends, lots of family time...oh for a three day weekend every week.

You may have noticed a few changes at Tea Pea. Scott, our web guy Tim and I have been working really hard to make our website as lovely a shopping experience as we can for you. We have added a 'what our customers are saying' page so that our first time shoppers know what to expect when purchasing from us. And we have been busy with giveaways as our Home page tells you. If you haven't already entered do it now - great prizes!

I've just discovered the Phoyo. What a fabulous design - a sturdy and stylish playhouse that flattens to go under a bed or into a garage.The perfect size for playing with inside, on a deck, or in the backyard, and as you can see from the pictures, it's a doddle to build. Now that's good architecture. Check it out here.
