Teapot Tuesday today features a lovely floral teapot that I have had for quite some time. Unfortunately I honestly do not remember where it came from. I know that I bought it but remember that whole post about being able to remember the lyrics to all the 70’s songs? Well, perhaps I should have sung where I got it so that it would stick in my mind. But never-mind—it is a pretty one and sings a pretty tune as well. What tune does it play? What would be the most appropriate tune? 
The song it plays??? No–not Tea for Two or anything remotely tea related. It plays “Memory” from Cats. Ah memories of a wonderful cup of tea?????
Perhaps.
There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea.

Leave a commentWhat a daintily pretty teapot. I swear I once had bed sheets with this exact same floral pattern imprinted upon them.
We had some very similar also!!!!! Another thing we have in common!
LOVEEEEEEE that song. I had a friend in HS and she is an awesome singer – she could pelt out that number and it would make you cry!!! Love the teapot. This made me remember the radio teapot we have. I’ll have to snap a pic and send it to you. My FIL had a phase where he collected antique radios and this is one he got but ended up giving to us. 🙂
It is a very beautiful song and I bet you think of your friend whenever you hear it! Send me a pic of that radio teapot—sounds amazing!
A musical teapot! How wonderful. A perfect tune as well. Guests would be impressed should they be served tea from it.
Just have to remember to wind it before steeping!!
I LOVE that song. And that quote from James.
So hands-down now: this is my fave teapot so far.
Yayyyyyy!
I wasn’t expecting the song choice. But it is a good song.
It is a good song—just not one I expected for a teapot.
And it doesn’t have cats on it.
True!!!!
This is a beauty. The overall pattern reminds me of the ones they called “chintz” seen on antique dishes. Memory is a lovely melody, too.
Oh chintz!!! You are exactly right!
Perfect tea pot for a tea party–with a future grandaughter perhaps? I would say grandson but we all both know he will have you on the floor zooming matchbook cars and putting together legos. Love the song Memory.
Maybe some day I will have that granddaughter—but for now I have to spoil my great niece Harper which is pretty darn easy to do! And yes—-I agree—a grandson most likely would not do the tea party thing …..
Reblogged this on Change is Never Ending.
Pretty little teapot, and cool that it’s musical! The pattern reminds me of a dress my daughter wore when she was just a wee one.
I think that pattern is a very popular one in clothing and bedding! And on teapots, obviously!
I think this teapot is really special. I love that song and it is pefect with Barbra Streisand singing. She is one of my very favorite singers.
I thought of you when I posted that video because I know how much you have always loved Barbra!!!
Gosh, that pot is beautiful, Beth Ann!
Sorry to have been away for several days. At least I made it in time for your teapot post. It’s been a CRAZY week!

No worries—it’s all good. I have given up on trying to catch up on the blogs I missed a couple weeks ago—-it is so hard when I get behind!!!
Love the lil teapot…oh and the song…one of my favorites. I do love my afternoon cup of tea.
SO glad to have you stop by again!!! Great to have a new buddy! 🙂 That song is a favorite of many and just seems to go with afternoon tea!
