Teapot Tuesday

28 Comments/ 2194/ 0

Teapots also make fabulous planters!  How did I know that when I planted this plant the flower would match the teapot perfectly?  This teapot without a lid made the perfect vessel for this blooming beauty!

Drink your tea slowly and reverently, as if it is the axis on which the world earth revolves–slowly, evenly, without rushing toward the future.  ——–Thich Nat Hahn

My friend, Susi, from BocaFrau gave me a present this weekend!  She made me my own blog button featuring my header ! Check it out at the bottom of my page!   If you are interested in one for your blog she would be happy to make that happen for you for only $10!  She has really worked hard on learning the blog business and how to make everything look pretty!!! Thanks, Susi!  You can go to her blog by clicking here and leave her a message if you are interested.

    Daintily pretty. Now what is the flower growing in the teapot? I am looking, trying to figure that out.

    You are way more blog tech savvy than me.

      I have no idea what it is ! It was in a bunch of succulents that I got for a vertical planter and I just stuck it in there. :-0

        Oh, OK. A vertical planter? Is it made from a pallet? Love those.

          It is basically a frame with chicken wire covering it. Pretty simple idea but I bought it and did not make it myself.

    The teapot makes a very pretty planter, the perfect showcase for that darling plant.

      I actually bought this one lidless! So it was perfect for a plant. Just gotta make sure you have plenty of drainage in it. 🙂

    I love fun planters like that! I also love using things in ways they were not originally meant to be used. My mother gave me a teapot once at a time in my life when I had no use for such a thing! (Small kids, didn’t drink tea often.) So I began using it as a container for my utensils…which it still is to this day! I love it in this capacity!

      I love that you use it for utensils!!! That is a very creative use for something that you would not have used! 🙂

        🙂 It doesn’t hold a lot, but I use it strictly for my rubber scrapers and whisks. That way I can always find them easily and they don’t get lost in the larger utensil holder – an antique cookie tin!

      Thanks so much!!! It was meant to be! Who would have thunk? I don’t know why I never did the button thing correctly before —I just didn’t think about it I guess. Thanks to Susi now if anyone wants it they can have it! 🙂

    Tea pots make great planters! Here, though it’s hard to tell which is prettier, the pot or the plant–no pun intended, I swear!
