If you know me you know that there are a few things that I am passionate about. Cats. Books. Teapots. Sharing House. Not necessarily in that order. Today I am most excited about Sharing House (official name Transylvania Christian Ministry). I have had the pleasure Continue reading →

A Bit Chilled on Teapot Tuesday

Beth Ann Chiles/ Tea and Teapots/ 9 Comments/ 482

I am always on the lookout for different takes on the basic teapot and I found this little (and I do mean little) gem and had to make room in my collection for it.  It was a bargain price and it spoke volumes in character Continue reading →

Just an Hour in West Jefferson

An hour isn’t very long but it was long enough to know that I want to go back to West Jefferson, North Carolina. Chris and I hadn’t been there for probably 17 years and as we were traveling on our way to Maryland it was Continue reading →

November is a lot of things but of course it is best known for the Thanksgiving holiday. Our Thanksgivings look a lot different than they did years ago. I remember driving to my Grandma Bonnie’s house for a huge feast. She was a really good Continue reading →

Feeling a Little Corny on Teapot Tuesday

Beth Ann Chiles/ Tea and Teapots/ 4 Comments/ 573

Teapot Tuesday brings readers a taste of freshness this week as I share a teapot that I got while I lived in Iowa. Iowa is known for many things but one of the best things about Iowa summers has to be the abundance of sweet Continue reading →
