and that is another birthday gone...

Yesterday was my birthday!

I got lots of lovely cards.

Mum made me this

spectacular cake which was as yummy as it looks.

An awesome Heart teapot from hubby as well as the lazy susan it is sitting on , made by him .

One of my dearest friends gave me the most beautifully perfumed rose plant "angel face".

Coupons from the kids including a "free carwash", which I cashed in as it was only valid for my birthday.

Mum in law made a stunning quilt which I am yet to take photos of...stay tuned.

Plus I went out for lunch with the family - so all in all a fabulous birthday.

My Place & Yours - My collection

This week I am participating in the My Place & Yours from Meet Me at Mikes Blog.. Find all the details about it HERE... This weeks theme chosen by Kate @ Fox's Lane was -

My Collection..

Well for those of you that already follow my blog you would know that it just had to be Teapots!!! So I am going to show you some of my collection, but if you haven't been following then just search up teapots on my blog and you will see some more of the collection so far.

There are 77 people blogging about their collections this week !! Hopefully I get a chance to visit them all. So far I have seen collections of Red, Cases, Books, Chenille, Old Games...just to name a few.

It's a wishlist T42

This week I am going to show you just a few of the teapots on my wishlist - not that I am short of my own teapots to show you, it's just that we had a long weekend here in WA and today has been busy, and to be honest I forgot it was tuesday - so now it is night time and there is no way I am getting up to dust off a pot .

UFO and alien by Andy Titcomb

Radio - I love, love, love this one...the funky retro radio with a cup of tea & biscuits, ball of wool and knitting needles on top

Jukebox

Band on Tour - How cool is this ??

Diner

The Teapottery, home of the eccentric teapot has my favourite designs.

So anyway, it will be my birthday soon so it doesn't hurt to have a wishlist started.

T42 - Yes it's late - Tuesday

So it is night time and I there has been so much happening today that I haven't had time for tea.

Inbetween floorboards being sanded , shopping, doc appts and general chaos I now find a little time just for you.

So to calm the crazy day I have a couple of tealight teapots to set the mood

These two were both gifts from a couple of my best friends - the smaller one has a vase with flowers and says "Friendship Blooms"

Yes it is Tuesday Again- T 4 2

Well I was tempted to skip T42 today as I have received lots of lovely things in the post this week that I wanted to show you - but thought I better dust a teapot today and then save the other goodies for tomorrow.

This one is such a funky shape - It has a square base and then pyramids up - It is so bold and bizarre - A very cool piece

Today I have also been busy finishing off some resin rings and have started to list a few

Midnight Walk

t 4 2 - tuesday

Spring has sprung - the sun is out, the flowers are blooming, the birds are chirping - all the signs that winter is hopefully behind us.

So on a lovely Spring Afternoon what sort of tea would I find you sipping on.

I am being tempted by all the lovely tea that is available in the etsy store of Joiedetea

If you are as mad on tea as I am on teapots then take a look at her delightful brews.

Now today I haven't gone with any real theme, I just a grabbed a few that I love and that caught my eye.

I love the design of this one and the bold pattern is very funky

This little beauty comes with it's own cosy

Ta- Dah! Open Wide - It is like a little UFO - I love it.

And this one - Just lovely in it's simplicity - Stainless Steel and Functional

It rests on the little stand that I bought last week (see this post)

I would love to hear what your favourite brews are.

Seeyou next week with some more teapots

t 4 2 - tuesday

It is Time again to have some Tea and show you a few more of my pots.

Today it is cold and wet and I am dreaming of taking off somewhere where it is nice and sunny.

So I will fill up the car......

I know that that the three wheeler Reliant might not be the best choice, but hey we are soooo far from reality here that it doesn't matter.

Check out this site to see the original trotters car which is up for sale.

Clean out the Fridge and pack up my lunchbox

Then load up the Caravan with all those lovely summer clothes

And we are off - All hitched up and ready to hit the road..

Sunshine here we come...

Come and Join me next week to see where my crazy teapot collection takes me. xo

T 4 2 - tuesday

"Have some wine," the March Hare said in an encouraging tone.

Alice looked all round the table, but there was nothing on it but tea. "I don't see any wine," she remarked.

"There isn't any" said the March Hare......

While the nonsense continues at the Mad Hatters Teaparty I will dust off a few more teapots and we shall have

T 4 2.

Well I simply must wear a teaspoon pendant for the teaparty.

What's cooking in the pot today - It smells delightful - A roast dinner perhaps...

And it is too wet outside to hang that washing, so we will just put it infront of the fire for a while...

And lets drink some tea.

In the kitchen....

This afternoon I started my list of things to cook for hubbys upcoming birthday party on Saturday. So I mixed, rolled, chopped, baked..........

While waiting I took a few photos of the teapots in my kitchen - Breakfast Selection
And My Morning Tea Selection
Still Waiting
And here they are...Some of the 100 sausage rolls I made. phew...

The Zucchini is still waiting to be cooked...
