Polly put the kettle on


These are my new Chinese teapots that I talked about a few posts back. The middle one is more like a teacup with a lid. There is something about the shape of a teapot that pleases me to no end. It's such an interesting form. And I love what the teapot represents,--comfort, warmth, and home. My mother made me Lipton tea with lots of milk and sugar from as long back as I can remember. It is still her way of saying "I'm here for you." or comforting me when I'm not feeling right. Even over the phone she often says "go make yourself a cup of tea and you'll feel better."

The tea pots are beautiful. My husband goes to Italy a lot and he brings me back oil and sausage. I can't take a picture because we ate it all :)

I would have a lot of things to add to the Italian shopping list. Lucky you!
