Just A Little Teapot, Short And Stout

Here is the quirkiest teapot I have ever seen. I love it, because, like me, it's different, lol. It doesn't follow any familiar teapot path. It doesn't resemble Mrs. Potts, and it certainly doesn't have the style to put on airs, lol. However, you must admit, this teapot is purely fun. From it's slightly potbelly shape to its whimsical covering of berry vines, it shines. It seems to say, "Here I am, choose me, choose me. I will make you laugh, I will make you smile, and I will definitely comfort you." It is 7" high, and says Handpainted for Cambridge. That is all I know about its pedigree. I just think this is the funniest teapot in the world. The price includes postage and handling. Enjoy!!!!

SOLD, THANK YOU

Memorial Day- A Day for Reflection

How can I begin to say thanks to those who have gone on before, and paved the road to freedom? How do I display any image that will express the thankfulness that permeates my being every time I think of our fallen heroes. Words escape me, pictures aren't enough! This week I am offering a paper doll book called "United We Stand". The cost is $10.00. All of the proceeds will go to the Disabled American Veterans. Over the years, the DAV has been one of my most loved charities. As usual there is no charge for shipping and handling. The whole $10.00 will go to the DAV. Please help me bless this organization a little bit this week. Thanks so much!

..............M-O-T-H-E-R

"M" is for the million things she gave me,

"O" means only that she's growing old,

"T" is for the tears she shed to save me,

"H" is for her heart of purest gold;

"E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining,

"R" means right, and right she'll always be,

Put them all together, they spell "MOTHER,"

A word that means the world to me.--Howard Johnson (c. 1915)

.

I always loved this song, and I still do today. The only thing I'd change is the growing old part, lol. My mother will always be the same in my eyes. I think we only get little glimpses that our dear mother's have aged.

It makes me think of the bible verse in Proverbs 31. " Her children arise and call her blessed, Her husband also, and he praises her."

Coming Up Roses, Old Country Roses

Today Miss Violet is reminiscing. Remember the Royal Albert Old Country Roses pattern? It is arguably one of the most well known patterns in the world. Not as long lived as the willow pattern, but what it lacks in provenance it makes up for in volume. Miss Violet is offering a nice tea tray. There are six tiles, but two of them have hairline fractures. So, you will be getting a bargain on this tray. It is lovely, and would make a great addition to any OCR collection. Just leave a comment with your email address and we will bill you through paypal, or you can send a check or money order. All comments are moderated so no one will see your email address but Miss Violet.
