It’s Tea Time – and Time for a Competition!
Hi there
Thanks for popping in. Had a busy day again today, getting ready to welcome all our guests to this years’s Clarity retreats. Everything’s ready, the tables are laid – all we need now is for everybody to arrive safely, all set for a couple of days of doing what we love best – no!! Not eating cake!! Crafting!!
The first project – the warm-up project – involves Teabags. Dave and I have been religiously drinking tea and drying out the good ol’ Yorkshire teabags for weeks, so that this will work!! I have loved seeing so many of our Clarity friends making Teabag art. Did you see the post on Facebook, with a picture of 4 teabags hanging out to dry on somebody’s washing line ? That made me chuckle.
Let’s have a little competition shall we?
See these two glass jars?
How many teabags do you reckon there are in them thar jars? At the actual time of the photo, of course. I have added to them since. Here’s an aerial view and a close up, to give you a better chance…. hahaha
Put your guesses below, simply name a number! If anybody can guess THE EXACT number of teabags in the jars, they will win a £20 Clarity gift voucher AND a box of Yorkshire Teabags!
You’ve got until Friday to guess the number. Competition ends at Midnight on Friday. The lucky winner – if there is one – will be announce on the blog on Saturday xx
Quote for the day:
There’s always time to drink a cup of Positivi – tea
If you are coming, then I look forward to seeing you!
Love always

150
72 tea bags
147
83 – love a cup of tea, and I’m only supposed to have one cup a day because of stones in my salivary duct. My ENT consultant obviously doesn’t understand an English woman’s relationship with tea!!! x
That’s a lot of tea! I’ll guess 121. Hope the retreats go well. Wish I was coming!
73?
89 –
I rarely drink tea and Bea has only one or occasionally 2 cups a day – but we mostly use tea leaves in a special pot with built in strainer. The plants outside get the used leaves. So saving bags has been a very slow work in progress!!
76 is my guess
Love tea, we get through a lot, used to dry them out and put the tea on the garden – I got fed up of that though ! Enjoy the retreat, look forward to seeing what you get up to with those tea bags. X
117 teabags in the jars
so wish I could come to the retreat but hand operation has put paid to everything even crafting. have a great time. teabags well my guess, going off my consumption level would be 137.
I love a good cup of tea. I guess 98 bags

I love the teabag art that Barbara shared and am excited to try. I have tried drying a few different brands of tea bags but the results are definitely not like the ones Barbara uses. I have received kind help from others on Clarity Facebook as to brands they use – unfortunately not sold in Canada or ones I can order so still on my tea bag hunt. Oh well, I now have a selection of teas to enjoy.😀
The teabag hunt continues.
I’m going for 91. Don’t drink tea but I love the effect of ageing paper with them 🥰
Have fun at the retreat 😊 Oh you have a good few brews there!.106 oxox
I think there are 92 teabags! Enjoy your retreat, everyone. 😊

Hi Barbara
I’m a Yorkshire tea decaf person. I’m guessing 94 hope the retreats go well and you are have fun
Love Ruth and Jackie xx
181
OMG my worst nightmare, lol. I can’t stand the smell of tea! It makes me heave. I had better sit that one out, or stuff my nostrils with lavender-soaked cotton wool.
See you all on Thursday.
Hope everyone has a wonderful crafting time.
I’m going with 78 as it’s the year I was born and both 7 & 8 are lucky numbers.
101 tea bags 🤞have a great retreat. x
I so wish I could be at the retreat. It sounds amazing!
I’m going to guess 113 teabags.
I think 91 teabags. I would love to be coming to the retreat but it’s so far away. I’m in Scotland. Maybe one day. When are you taking that holiday?! (See my comment on yesterday’s blog posted a day late)
So pleased I am not the only one with an aversion to tea. Anyone visiting us gets coffee or cold drinks. We normally grind the coffee beans ourselves but do have some coffee bags – would this work as well?
Enjoy the retreats this week.
I don’t see why the coffee bags wouldn’t work as people are using fruit tea bags as well just be different colours. Try it & see then let us all know on Clarity Worldwide.
I’ve eaten extra Quality Street with colleagues so the children have shiny paper for art projects!! I think 119
130 between both containers.
I hope you enjoyed drinking the tea. Looking forward to seeing everybody on Thursday.
My guess is 149. Hope everyone has a wonderful time at the retreat! I use leaf tea so don’t have any tea bags to play with lol x

I never drink tea but my daughter (who now lives in Argentina) loves tea! I sent her a care package with a very large box of Yorkshire tea so if I was lucky enough to win the teabags I would be sending them to her!
