Teapots come in all shapes and sizes and colors.  One of my favorite combinations has to be a black and white teapot.

There is just something about the clean contrast of black and white that strikes my fancy.

This little gem from Hobby Lobby caught my eye and the 50% off price tag made it all the sweeter.

It is a hefty and sturdy teapot that will serve a stout cup of tea and will most likely be called into service later this week as Florence ravishes the Carolinas.  We will most likely get a lot of wind and rain and hopefully the downed trees and limbs will be kept to a minimum.  We are keeping an eye on the storm and are praying for those in its direct path to keep safe.

Some days a black and white teapot is just what fits the bill and this one makes me happy when I look at it.

Peter swept aside Yogi Tea and Harmony Herbal Blend, though he hesitated for a second over chamomile.  But no.  Stay focused, he admonished himself.  He knew it was there, that opiate of the Anglos.  And his hand clutched the box just as the kettle whistled.  Violent death demanded Earl Grey.
