Tea for (tat)too

Think about ink then sit down for a drink – of tea, that is – at the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party, Feb. 10-12 at the Merry Manor Inn in South Portland. The event will feature three days of tattooing by world-renowned artists, along with a tattoo parade, workshops and afternoon tea.

Eggs-tremely cute

This set of four egg cups and spoons, by Egghead, is enough to make the most reluctant morning person crack a smile (if not a shell). The packaging alone is worth the price of admission ($7.50 at The Store/Ampersand in Orono).
