Can you imagine a teapot with the lid flipped back filled with vintage roses? A small table has been set up outside in the warm sunshine and you are sitting at the table opposite one of your favorite people. Close your eyes and picture several different color roses tightly packed in the top. Perhaps a petal or two has fallen on the lace table cloth below. The sweet fragrance of the roses drifts gently in the air. You're being served a delicious and leisurely breakfast and you don't have a care in the world. You've no where to go, no place to be, other than the moment at hand.
Please enjoy your Sunday morning brunch with your favorite person and a silver or pewter teapot filled with vintage roses.
A lovely thought! Amazing teapots, they would make inspiration for further directions to go with pottery. The first one is so like a trophy, and yet it is a teapot. Rather like surrealist sculpture! Do you know anything about where they were made?
ReplyDeleteHi Peter, thanks, I know they both had hallmarks on the undersides as I looked briefly, but I needed glasses and didn't take the time to get them and then quickly packed them in the bus. I also discovered the one with the crest on the front I have a matching sugar bowl and was hoping to find a creamer too. I'll see if that is still in the garage. They do give inspiration to pottery, but the handles and spouts are ever so thin - would probably have to be porcelain or paper clay. I like the flat handle top and the little pedestals they are on. I have to take these photos quickly and pack, Gary is getting so nervious as our time is running out and we have much to do, but for some reason I just want to keep blogging - I have warmed up to writing a lot, but perhaps I am holding myself from moving from here as I am not really ready to leave. I must truly force myself into action very quickly tomorrow.
ReplyDeletehi linda-what beauties!
ReplyDeleteyes-you had better pack and get on the road for fall beauty!
you have so much to tell and we are waiting for your Star Travels.
One more day at the show!

What a wonderful image for my Sunday morning blog reading! I'm sitting here having a cup of tea and catching up with everyone.
ReplyDeleteHi Meredith, hope you are enjoying your day and hope your sale is going well. I had to post this early for all of you on the East Coast to read before breakfast.
ReplyDeleteHi Tracey, I was hoping someone would read this before breakfast. I was just going to talk about the teapots but then I started imagining them and decided to write about that instead.
I was thinking along the same lines as Peter, that the top tea pot looked like a lovely trophy. What treasures your Bus will have within! "The Treasure Bus!"
ReplyDeleteHi Cindy, thanks, I see now it does look like a trophy. Amazing what photographs can "show" us that seeing in person doesn't. You have hit on the name of the bus - I am going to call it "The Treasure Bus" - thanks so much - that is the absolute perfect name for it. Stay tuned for more treasures to come - just a few left though since many are already packed.
ReplyDeleteWonderful piece, this is history.
ReplyDeleteYour school bus moving was a topic of conversation as several of us shared some wine (and beer) at Clayworks this afternoon. Will be fun to meet you as I'm hoping you're coming to visit! :) I like the phrase in your 'about me' description 'with more ideas than I know what to do with.' That is a wonderful challenge to have!
ReplyDeleteoh-- I forgot to say. I like the sunday brunch idea, but for me being a priest, I have to work on Sundays! It still got me thinking though... and any day can be a brunch day. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Adrian, thanks so much. I hadn't thought of the teapot as a part of history; it is good to keep the memories of the past alive since they guide us to the future.
ReplyDeleteHi Amy, I hope some folks are able to utilize some information from my blog for their adventures, discussion or usefullness. Gary read the comments today and was amazed at the folks from around the globe who are commenting about my posts.
ReplyDeleteAmy, you are so right, the brunch can be enjoyed any day of the week and it is meant to say to others to take a little time out of their busy lives to enjoy the moment with a special friend no matter what day.
I need to listen to my own posts too and I am hoping I can do this very soon, when we are out of our house and traveling along. I can't wait to come to visit so many of the people I have met through my blog. It will be such a treat to finally meet you. Thanks so much Amy. Hope to see you soon.
No silver teapot - but I did enjoy a leisurely Sunday morning sipping coffee with my sweetie out 2 handmade mugs! (not mine I might add...)
ReplyDeleteHi Cynthia, hope all is well with you, sounds like the perfect morning; I am looking forward to some leisure days real soon.
