I'm A Little Teapot . . .

We've been gone a month . . .

And when we arrived home last Saturday . . .

This package was on our front porch.

And inside the package was this box

And inside the box was this beautiful English teapot

And a note from friend Bernideen
Who has a wonderful blog
And we've even met
In Kansas City
I drove up to meet her
As she was about to drive across Kansas
after spending time with family in Missouri.

She's a lovely lady!

I had a busy week, that first week back.

And hardly had time for breakfast tea

Much less than afternoon tea.

But finally, on Friday, 

when friend Sally came to call

(to pick up a gift certificate)

I put the kettle on . . .

And the teapot of choice

My newest one, of course!

And Bernideen was right

It does look good with my beloved Blue and White

It looks good with the Mason's pitcher as well

And the orange of the mums are picked up by the flowers on the teapot.

It was so sweet of Bernideen to send it to me

For this fall I lost a whole bunch of my Johnson Brothers Indies

And the teapot is to help me get over that loss.

And it does, it does, indeed!

And it lives when not in use

On the sideboard in the breakfast room

With my collection of blue and white teapots.

I think "she" looks good there!

And a very sincere thank you to Bernideen for remembering me.

And if you haven't visited her blog,

you need to do so.

Bernideen's Tea Time Blog
