I decided to start a new fun thing on Tuesdays!!!  And you get to be a part of it!!!  I collect teapots and Tuesday is the day that I am going to show you my collection, bit by bit!!!   I have a lot so I figure it will keep my Tuesday posts filled for a good long time.  Not sure exactly how many I have at this point since I purged a lot before our move to Australia in 2008 but I still have plenty!!!

The above teapot is the one that started it all.   So I figured that was the one I should start with!   We lived in Greenville, Ohio from 1987-1991. I made a lot of great friends there and still keep in touch with several of them today thanks to Facebook and the wonderful internet.   One of my friends, Linda, invited me for tea quite often and we would let the kids play while we had a cuppa.  When it was time for me to move to Pennsylvania she gave me this teapot as a goodbye gift.  She said it was a “sporty” teapot.  She could not find one that was exactly what she wanted to give me but this one was pretty close .  It wasn’t fancy and it wasn’t plain —it was just plain “sporty”.  So it seems right today to honor the sportiest of my teapots and drink a cuppa brewed from the one that started my collection.   Hope you can find some time to have a cuppa today!!!
