Teapot Tuesday—Oink Oink

29 Comments/ 2134/ 0

My sweet son got me a teapot for my birthday!  I finally got it when I went to visit him last week in Jacksonville Beach and I LOVE it!!! It is adorable and I thought that I should have the whole cuppa experience documented.  

So with the help of my Mr. Wonderful (Chris) I attempted to show how the piggy teapot works in real life—in the ideal world the wind would not have been whipping around at 70 miles per hour (I blame the bad hair on that, folks) and the photographer would have been able to focus a bit.  As you can tell from the pictures below there is a definite skill to pouring tea out of a pig’s nostrils.   One I did not have this day and will work hard to perfect.  But it made for some great laughs and yes…..the tea was fabulous even if I did lose half of it in the pouring!! Enjoy!  And thank you, Micah!  I love it!

    it is adorable!! I have this little do-hickey thing that you place in the spout and then the tea never drips. I do believe “do-hickey” is the official name. 🙂

      I am sure do-hickey is the correct term. Either that or thingamabob!!! My problem was I was trying to pour it too fast, I think!

    Thank you for your comment on my Farina Muffins post. I popped over to see what’s happening at your place and I want to stay forever. I LOVE teapots and teacups and the ritual of tea. Your little piggy teapot is a delight. Your son has great taste and seems to know his mom. 🙂

    I have a bunch of teacups I picked up at an estate sale. I really need to get them photographed and up on my site so others can enjoy them. Thanks for the inspiration.

      I saw a tweet about your muffins and that is what landed me there! (Lenore’s). Would love to see your treasures of teacups! I have been doing Teapot Tuesday for over a year and lots of people seem to like my collection! Come back anytime!!!!
