Knit 1 Tea 2 Swap Questions

Knit 1 Tea 2 Color Swap Questionnaire
Do you like loose tea or bags, or both – something you want to try? Both are okay, but the bag is a preference. (see accessory question below)
What is your favorite kind of tea (Brand, flavor, variety, etc)? I like fruit infused teas, but not the overpowering kind. I fell in love with tea in England.Just plain old Tetley's: but I think every dog has its day and every tea should too! Favorite color in regards to tea or one you would like to try? (black, green, red, and white) (keeping in mind that this is how this swap is set up). I like the white teas but really have no preference. I enjoy just about all of them: herbal/"real" teas/tisanes Would you say you were a tea pot kind of person or just a hot water heater kind? I am not picky, although I tend to make a pot with a crowd and a single for myself alone.What tea accessories would you like but have never purchases for yourself?
I keep losing tea ball strainers! I'm tired of buying them. (Actually, my kids empty the dish rack and they hide them from me to make me nuts!) How do you prefer to be pampered? (examples: mani/pedi, bubble bath, yummy treat, etc). Hands Down: a Massage (Hey, I made a great pun!) If you were a kind of yarn what would you be and why? I would be cotton. It's basic, honest, what you see is what you get, and like me, it wrinkles when you wash it. But as it ages it gets a lovely soft quality that just acreams homey! No pretensions, just warmth. If you had to knit/crochet baby booties, a fun fur scarf, or a fair isle sweater, which would you choose and why? I am intimidated by the sweater, but someday I will tackle it. I think I would do booties next (never attempted but would like to try)
What other event would make you skip a tea party? (A garden party? A book club meeting? A yoga class? Opening night for a new action thriller? etc?) A date with my hubby. I would rather be with him in any venue. What treat would you consider essential at your tea party? (Sweet? Salty? Scones? Those petite pastry trays with a couple of all sorts of things? Little crust less sandwiches?) I like itty-bitty sandwiches/scones (but only with Devonshire Cream!)any little thing that's petite. I just think it screams tea party.
When buying yarn for a project how do you choose - do you buy the one called for or do you substitute? I buy the one I like.
What do you carry your knitting/crocheting in when on the go? A tote bag/a grocery bag/my husband's pocket Favorite movie to watch while knitting/crocheting? Girly one
Are you a traditional tea cup kind of person or a mug type of person? Do you care if they match? A mug. Something substantial when I am by myself, but I bring out the china when I have a tea party!
Favorite childhood birthday party? I don't remember having any special parties growing up so I went all out with my own kids. I gave my kids totally creative parties from Cowboy/girl/mystery/scavenger/circus parties. One daughter mentioned her favorite was the giant ice cream sundae where everyone brought their own toppings. I personally always loved giving tea parties and with 3 daughters, they all had at least one!
Favorite type of scone and jam? Lemon/poppy seed with raspberry jam
If you use candles, what is your favorite scent? Lemon/herbal/grassy
If you could choose 3 people to have 'tea' with, who would they be and why? (famous or not, living or dead). My daughters (and son) because I adore them(oops that's four, but I'll give you two more: Katharine Hepburn: I thought she epitomized a real woman: she never backed down, she could hold her own but never lost her feminine touch. Eleanor Roosevelt, for pretty much the same reason. This is a woman who should have been the first woman president. I admire her so very much: For all she did for the common people. In my book no other first lady was so influential.You've been invited to a tea party, what 'props' will you wear (formal or casual)?
I wanna play dress up!

Any allergies/preferences you have or are willing to admit to? Allergic to mean people: I prefer they just go away!
Anything we missed that you want your pal to know? A good cuppa will take away the crankies!
