I have been stuck on a fall teapot bent lately and today's is a perfect little pumpkin. I think he has a lot of personality so I brought him out into the sunshine to let him show off. “There is a great deal of poetry and fine sentiment in a chest of tea." Ralph Waldo Emerson … [Read more...]

An oriental twist on the teapot today! This one is more ornamental than functional but I love the expression of the face--what do you think? “When we sip tea, we are on our way to serenity.” Alexandra Stoddard … [Read more...]

Happy Birthday to my big sis today! Seems appropriate to feature a cute little teapot that she got for me. This one is perfect for a cup or two and comes with a cozy sweater to keep it nice and warm ! All in my favorite color--red!!! Hopefully we will be putting all of those sweaters away soon. “She gave in to a hankering for a cup of tea even though she knew that the idea of a cup of tea-sitting still, calmly sipping-was more appealing than actually sitting still and … [Read more...]

A tiny little teapot to serve a cup of tea with your cupcake! When I bought it I thought it was going to be larger than it actually is but no worries---it makes up for its size in cuteness. Buddy once again wanted to get into the act and decided to sample my tea while I was away from it…..suffice it to say I did not finish that cup. “Dad was at his desk when I opened the door, doing what all British people do when they're freaked out: drinking tea.” ― Rachel … [Read more...]

Another fun teapot today featuring the color red. This one is the perfect size for just a couple of cups of my favorite tea on a cold day. The design on the pale yellow background is especially delicate and lovely. While it is not a pot to be put into service when there is a crowd for tea it is perfect for an afternoon pot to share with the hubby. The best kind of rain, of course, is a cozy rain. This is the kind the anonymous medieval poet makes me remember, the rain … [Read more...]

Today I am a basket case. Or rather--my teapot is a basket case. How adorable is this unique and detailed basket teapot recently added to the collection from my favorite eBay seller? I am not sure how well it will actually pour as there has obviously never been a pot of tea brewed in it. I think it might pour a bit awkwardly but the cute factor makes up for that in my humble opinion. When the news reporter said "Shopkeepers are opening their doors bringing … [Read more...]

How cute is this set that my sister sent to me ??? A purrfect set of teapot and two matching cups for a purrfectly good cup of tea to share with a friend. Come on over and I will put the kettle on and share. If you are lucky I will make sure that there are no real cat hairs in the brew. Tea is also a sort of spiritual refreshment, an elixir of clarity and wakeful tranquility. Respectfully preparing tea and partaking of it mindfully create heart-to-heart conviviality, a way to go … [Read more...]
