Altered Cigar Box - Turned Tea Box

My friend, Diana, and I share a love for tea.  I really think she loves it more than I do, but we both enjoy brewing tea - good tea.  For her Christmas gift, I took an empty cigar box, with a sliding lid, and altered it with a "tea" theme.
 I can show it to you because by the time you see this blog, I will have given it to her.
Stacks of teacups on the cover...
 ... and teapots on the inside.
I tried to keep it simple yet functional.  
Inside I have placed sample bags of different teas from Harney & Sons.
I can't wait to see her face!

    Woah! I'm really digging the template/theme of this website. It's simple, yet
    effective. A lot of times it's tough to get that "perfect balance" between usability and visual appeal. I must say that you've done a awesome job with this.
    In addition, the blog loads super quick for me on Opera. Superb Blog!
