| May-21-2008 | Dear Customers, Visitors & Friends of Ekaterina’s Imperial Porcelain and Tea!
You may be interested in following information if you would like to place an order for some items that are listed under Special Orders or “Exquisite Porcelain”. Because Lomonosov Imperial Porcelain does not manufacture these items in great quantity it will sometimes happen that 3-6 months is required for an item to be made and/or received on special order. Usually, we can find out this by checking the current Lomonosov inventory & we will be happy to let you know if the piece is readily available or not. Please, keep this in mind when ordering. Patience may be required.
Also, if you have any ideas, suggestions or propositions which you would like to discuss in this blog, please, send your messages to info@ekaterinas.com with a note “Blog”. We are looking forward to your emails!

| March-03-2008 | Dear friends,
We were really surprised by the large number of wrong answers we have received for our February Tea Contest.
The question was: “Name the city where first Samovar’s factory was established in Russia”. We suggested three options: Moscow, Tula and Rostov.
90% of you indicated Moscow as the answer. We understand that most of you know Moscow, but it does not mean that everything Russian related, automatically means Moscow, Vodka and Bear (no relation to newly elected president of Russia :-))
To increase your chances to give a correct answer to our quiz, we provide you with a hint article, please read it. It has the right answer but in addition it also provides you with some interesting information about Russia, who knows maybe someday this information will be useful. Some smarty pants from online-sweepstakes.com forum think that they know everything and they even published incorrect answer to our quiz. Do not rob yourself of a chance to win your favorite tea. |

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all our dear customers! May joy and happiness snow on you, may the bells jingle for you and may Santa be extra good to you! Merry Christmas!
