Good Morning!
Good morning! This morning I have for you the origin of the
phrase dressed to a tea. If you are "dressed to a tea," it
means you are well dressed with attention to detail.
This is a short way of saying "dressed to go to a tea." In
the Victorian era, high tea was a formal affair. All proper
people dressed in appropriate attire.
Good Luck!
Carly

JUMBO POP-UP HAMPER
Normal Price: $4.99
DEAL PRICE: $1.99
Okay, I LOVE these. And I use them for just about everything.
With the warm weather coming, they are great for outdoors.
I love to put all the pool toys in them. It allows for them
to dry after being in the pool and it keeps them all together.
Get a few of them. You can use them for so many things. Ideal
for college students, holding toys, and all the laundry you
can fit. The best part is the nylon construction that makes
this light as a feather.
It folds down to 6" and pops up to hold TWO (2) FULL LOADS
of LAUNDRY.
Store it in the closet or in the corner of the room. We
guarantee this will help keep the kids' rooms tidy. This is
one of the best products we have ever carried and the
lightest hamper you will ever carry.
