Oh my! I want that one. When I move into a bigger place I need to track one down. This is perfect!

I am a tea drinker! (I have had a cup of blackberry tea already this morning.) Thanks go to my maternal grandmother with whom I would share a cup of tea when I would visit. She lived in the country in central Illinois only about a mile from my house which was in town, so I visited often. Grandma liked Constant Comment tea, and my favorite was Lemon Lift. We always plunked an ice cube in our cups to cool off the tea before we headed into the living room to start our visit. We began when I was young having “tea parties” which really meant a lunch of Kraft macaroni and cheese with English- style tea (milk in our tea). We would “gossip about the neighbors” which launched a conversation prompted by, “So how are Marge’s cats?” Our eccentric neighbor, who was a former classmate of my grandmother’s, had lots of cats and left her Christmas lights on year- round. She was the scandal of our street! My favorite tea now is Earl Grey, and today I enjoy drinking a cup with my elderly neighbor. There is something about sharing a cup of tea with someone that deepens friendship and keeps us connected with the good things in life. I want to pass on the gift of time as my grandmother gave me- isn’t quality time one of the love languages? I guess it’s mine.

“Once Upon a Tea Time.” Too cute!

Awesome. I thought about you last week at the B&B we were at. They had an antique decorative shelf piece that held a collection dof mostly small tea pots for our use if we wanted tea. I meant to take a photo for you, but never got around to it.

By far one of my favorite in your teapot collection. Are you surprised?

That would be a perfect teapot to use at a book club meeting. Maybe you should start one up!

That is a great teapot. Love a cup of tea!

What a neat teapot. It is small but full of history.

I love this one. What a great teapot to brew a cup and the curl up with a good read.

That is a super adorable teapot. It always amazes me how many different ones you have. Love it. 🙂

certainly the most unique teapot I’ve ever seen! I especially like “once upon a tea time” on the lid 🙂

That is really cute. I liked the book “knob” on the lid, too.

As an avid reader and a writer of course I love this teapot! That lid is just perfect!! Ok now this one is my favourite. (of course you keep coming up with new ones that replace my previous favourite.) I don’t know how you can beat this one though.

Since I love to read, I love this unique teapot. Never seen one like it.
