Teapot Tuesday Goes West

16 Comments/ 13/ 0

A recent trip to Alburqueque for my nephew’s wedding found us strolling around Old Town.  We had split up and were exploring on our own when a text came in from my sister.

“TEA SHOP!  Come meet me!  It’s really close to where you are right now.”

So of course I drug Chris to the tea shop Old Barrel Tea Company .

It was wonderful and that is a post for another day but trust me when I say I was in heaven.  They had lovely samples of both hot and cold tea available and as I was looking around the shop I noticed several teapots that were fun and unique.  I had not planned on buying one on this trip but my wonderful husband told me to pick one out.

I chose one that looked Southwestern and love the sturdiness of it.

The colors are true southwest colors and the pattern really makes this teapot pretty, don’ t you think?

I kept the card so I never forget this shop.  They even do mail order so don’t forget to check them out if you are a tea and spice lover like I am .

Just look at that fun close up of the design that encircles the teapot.

All ready for a nice brew of fall tea.  Stop on by and I will share.

Thanks for stopping by.  Don’t forget to leave a comment and tell me what you think about my latest acquisition.  All comments this month mean a $1 donation to UMCOR for Hurricane Irma relief.

    I love the colors and design. It’s so pretty. I always seek out tea shops no matter where I go. I love the small shops with a local flair best and will always buy something… 🙂

      Yep–the smaller tea shops have my attention every time. The attention to what their customers want and are looking for is usually spot on.

    I love how they managed to convey the southwest decor without it being too over the top! It’s great!

    Oh, I can only imagine how excited you were about touring this tea shop. And the tea pot is a perfect memento of your nephew’s wedding.

      It was so much fun in this shop. It had so many offerings and cute items for sale. I had to buy a new tote bag (to add to my massive tote bag collection) to haul my teapot on the plane which was why I was not going to buy one . But then Mr. Diamond insisted and I being the obedient wife that I am obeyed.

    Nice design…if I weren’t so far behind with knitting this fall I’d want to knit something based on it.

      It does have a really nice design, doesn’t it? Would make a neat scarf, don’t you think?
