Teapot Tuesday and a Bonus Video

Beth Ann Chiles/ Tea and Teapots/ 18 Comments/ 599

Chicken themed teapots are a thing.  Who would have thought?  I have several in my collection and I am particularly fond of this one.  It is one of those Pier One finds if I remember correctly and really makes a perfect teapot, don’t you think? Continue reading →

October 1st and here we are! Grateful that storms and hurricanes turned and did not come on the trajectory that they were originally on and happy to be home and starting to enjoy the shift to fall weather. But of course, it is also time Continue reading →

All the Light We Cannot See
by Anthony Doerr
This is quite a book! I had it recommended to me by several people and while I thought it might be a little dark and depressing it made me have a better understanding of what life in this time period was like. The strength of the huma...
