The Pouring Teapot

This week's subject at the blog-a-thon is teapots, a subject dear to my heart!

Below is a floral teapot which was an Ebay purchase. Flowers are always nice!



I like the inexpensive creamy teapots. There are also many other pieces available in the same style and pattern.






The bird teapot was given to me by Mom. It looks so nice for spring decor.






House shaped teapots are out all year long, as they seem to suit every season. They sometimes are on a kitchen shelf and other times are in the china cabinet.




A few years ago, when we had an interior designer helping us with our house, she commented on the use of teapots as part of the decor, and later told me she had used my idea for another house she was working on. I considered that quite a compliment.


I may have to do another posting this week ....

Millie,
I love your teapots! The one from ebay with the flowers is very pretty. Your creamy white collection calls to me :0)
It is fun to be able to keep your pots out as part of your decor. Enjoy!!

Oh, what lovely teapots you have! I especially LOVE the little bird one. It's very unusual and so nicely detailed. It's just wonderful! I really like your 'white' set as well --- very elegant. You have everything displayed so nicely. No wonder the interior decorator commented on your artful displays. Thanks so much for sharing!

I love your teapots too! Especially the ones shaped like houses. I've seen a few of those here (in Australia) but I don't have enough space to store any more!

Victoria…and Me

To see larger photos, click to enlarge.. The May-June 2009 Victoria magazine is one of my favorites, featuring blue and white... one of the open pages with an article on linens...it just happens that I have one of the patterns... There is also a feature on blue and white Wedgewood ... I have photographed some of my pieces alongside the article... ....here is my interpretation of blue and white... As a nod to the current issue of Victoria, which features some tea tables in green, I have  set out my own little tea table, with some scones... ...or perhaps you'd like to help yourself to a chocolate-cherry morsel? On this spring day, I am joining in with : Celebrate Spring http://blissfulrhythm.blogspot.com/ Mary's Mosaic Monday, on whose blog you will see some lovely snowdrops: http://dearlittleredhouse.blogspot.com/2011/03/mosaic-monday-snowdrops.html Also,   Sandi is having a special tea party today, so be sure to go over there and enjoy her lovely blog
