Teapot Tuesday

23 Comments/ 2987/ 0

One of the joys of getting ready for a move is discovering all of the things that were never unpacked from the last move. Seriously it is ridiculous what we stored and never even looked at.  I blame it on …. oh I don’t know.  I don’t have any good thing to blame it on.

What I did discover other than containers upon containers of things saved from the boys’ childhoods was my stash of miniature tea sets. While they are not really teapots or functional tea sets they are still adorable and will be highlighted on Teapot Tuesday for quite some time.  Just when you thought “She seriously can not have any more.”

As I am writing this the packers, two lovely ladies, are packing up teapots. They came in, surveyed the damage and decided wisely to get those puppies done and dusted right off the bat. There is not much talking but a lot of crinkling paper. Yes, they knew that there was a collection and have assured me that it is nothing like some collections they have packed.  Whew.

Join me today as I start my presentation of some of my miniature tea sets.  Many are whimsical.  None are really functional but then who says a cute tea set has to hold tea after all?

teaset2It is seriously a really cute little set, isn’t it?  Made to look like a Wedgwood set in color but a sweet little set that looks lovely just sitting on a shelf.teaset3

Empty your mind. Be formless shapeless like water. Now you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle. You put it into a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can either flow, or it can crash! Be like water, my friend.  Bruce Lee

    Sooooo cute! Yes, it is amazing what you discover when you pack up to move. I´m sure those packers did a great job. Everything arrived safely to Spain so I´m sure your boxes will travel across the US just fine.

      We will see in a few weeks!! But yes—we really had the best packers and movers this time on the Iowa end so hopefully on the NC end later in August they will be the best as well.

    Adorable! Love it and your collection! I can’t wait to see more. Something I had completely forgotten about is that I had started a small teapot collection for my mom several years ago! Most are miniature, but I did buy her a functioning one also! While that never continued, she still has them all…maybe I’ll have to do a spin-off of Teapot Tuesday over on my blog!

    glad to hear you have good packers. I am finding lots of things as I am clearing out some things I no longer need. Some are hard to give up.

      I agree–some things are harder to give up than others for some reason. But you hardly have any stuff. Honestly. You really don’t. 🙂

    Mom was a tea pot collector. The teapots are now scattered to the homes of sons, daughters and grandchildren. I also have quite a few memories of the “packers” and the crinkling of the paper.

      I am sure that your mom’s teapots are all being loved and cherished in their new homes. And yes–that sound of crinkling paper is a very vivid memory.

    That is a cute teapot set. You don’t have to move to wonder why you have saved things. The other day I found a big stack of address labels carefully saved -with my name spelled incorrectly! I guess I thought I might have to suddenly send 2000 letters! Ha!

      That is so funny! Now why would you think you would use those someday? A creative craft project in the works?? 🙂

      Oh bummer. I guess it goes like that sometimes. That is why you have to keep going back, right? Thanks for stopping by!

    Wedgewoood is one of my very favourites!! I was rather wondering if you had a set like this. I always keep an eye out at my local antique store because I would love a sugar and creamer set in Wedgewood.

      It is pretty hard to find Wedgwood in thrift stores in Iowa so now I will have whole new territories to explore. Who knows???

    That is cute, and Wedgewood came to mind as soon as I saw the colors.
