This gorgeous postcard is iconic because it is impossible to have a cup of tea without thinking of Liz Steel and her beautiful sketches from tea shops around the world. Now I have one of these to treasure myself and it is particularly special because it was sketched on location in the T2 Teahouse at the Macquarie Centre in my home town, Sydney.
The envelope is a prize in itself with its genuine Australian postage stamp featuring none other than the famous little Borromini Bear.
Thank you, Liz I love my postcard.

How could it have been anything other than a cup of tea in Sydney?! :)
Lovely as ever and I see even Borrowmini sent something too. How appropriate that it was sent on Australia day.
A great sketch - lovely composition with that amazing chair just perfectly placed.
Oh, fabulous! So lovely
Oh to have a tea card from Liz! Love all the teashop features, beautifully designed. How did Borromini get on a stamp?
I would like to join in having HIGH TEA after seeing your lovely postcard.
Absolutely lovely! and so is mine that arrived yesterday :>) I haven't had chance to scan it yet but will asap and share.
Do tell us more about the stamps Liz? they are absoolutely delightful
Awww, Borromini on a stamp... We love the Liz Tea Shoppes, all of us. And as Katherine, says, on Australia Day, too...
But I'm wondering how he got his stamp, too.
What a lovely and stylish card! Borromini is traveling a lot these days :).
Oh how beautiful, I love how your cards just bring us all into the scene. I feel like we are having tea! The stamp is perfect, you all are so clever! Can't wait to see mine!
Wonderful!!! Beautiful!!
A definite 'Tea with Liz and Borromini" moment! Love it!
Lovely to see your high tea on a postcard Liz!
