If you’re using tea bags, or a separate infuser, or even a tea spoon to stir your tea, you’re going to need a place to rest your favorite implement.

One reader sent me the link to this adorable Beary Spoon Rest on Modcloth:

I also found a variety of cute plates on my very favorite crafty site, Etsy.

How about this adorable Fox Plate from DragonflyArts ?

Or would you prefer Owls from Plain Jane Pottery?

Something a little more modern perhaps? Like this Fused Glass plate from Casey McPottery.
