Hello friends a warm welcome to all who call in to see me today.
At Bleubeard and Elizabeths its
T stands for Tuesday
So this is my tea related post.
I had some new Paper Artsy stamps last week and this is the first chance I have had to ink any up. I decided on a tag, this may stop me from adding too much.
The tag is also a reminder for the current TioT's theme...Anything but square.
A sprayed ink base,
I did try to stop here, but went on to add a little texture through a stencil,. Not a good idea when I found I had gone over some of the image. This had be re -stamped and fussy cut.
As you can see Mr Robin is still hanging around , he is my mug of choice for today.
Tea Pots for T day.
I do have a few teapots on the dresser and I did try to get photos, but its in the hall, I had to move them to a lighter shelf so I could get a better picture.
The elephant one is about 40 years old bought in France, if I remember it was a promotion pot for a brand of tea. It has been well used over the years, but is now in retirement.
This little stove has never seen hot water, It would only hold half a cup.
These two pots were presents from my sons. Those of you who follow my ramblings will know that one of the family's main outdoor interests is competing in Off Road Land Rover competitions.
So the blue one has special memories for us all.
This last teapot was a gift from my hubby . I have to smile, as it is always known as the" choose your own".
My brew of choice would be a Hot cuppa,
while the rest of the family would like a nice glass of wine with their cheese. So one pot suits all.
Thank you for calling in to see me.
Happy T day .
Love that tag! Those stamps are such fun(I just know I will be getting more of them!) Loved seeing your teapots - my Mum used to have a few but not being a tea drinker they are now my brother's house! Happy T Day! Hugs, Chrisx
ReplyDeleteThose are super Tea pots. I just love them. Your tag is so much fun too. I like your background=its perfect for those bright colored images. I think that quote could be true for me too-seeing I'm pretty short. So maybe when I grow up I will be taller. Ha! Ha! Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteI love your tag. I think you were talking to me since I'm only 4'11" tall. Had to laugh at that one, since I'm probably never going to grow up.
ReplyDeleteThose teapots are incredible. I've never seen any like them before, and each is so very different and unique. I genuinely love them all. Of course, the last one was the best, because it had such a personal feel to it, as did the off road one.
Thanks for sharing your tag, your lovely robin mug, and your wonderful teapots with us for T this Tuesday. They are really lovely.
ooh what wonderful and unique tea pots!! Love those sweet new stamps and the art tag you made. Happy T day!

Your teapots are so cute! I would want them out on display too! Darling tag, the quote is perfect. I have seen the Ikea frame video for a stamping tool, looks like it would work well. Hope you find some magnets that will work for you, it's a great alternative.
ReplyDeleteGreat tag, the background splatters and stamping are gorgeous! I can relate to the quote too, my hubby is a full one foot two inches taller than me ... lol :-). Thanks for sharing your marvellous collection of teapots and stories behind them - they are so magical! Happy T Day! J :-)

ReplyDeleteWhat a fun tag! I think my DD would completely agree with your quote. She's a shrimp compared to all of her friends. :)
ReplyDeleteSuper fun tea pots.
Happy T day!
Meggy i LOVE your tag and the quote on it... What a great collection of tea pots! I especially like the stove one ! Happy happy Tday! Hugs! deb
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute tag!Lovely!Your collection of teapots is amazing. Love all of them!Happy T-Day!
ReplyDeleteYour tag made me laugh. I reached my full adult height when I was 7 years old :-D. The little bird on the card and the background along with your robin cup, so Spring-y on this grey, freezing drizzle of a day after a storm. Your teapot collection is adorable. I don't think I've ever seen such unusual shapes for teapots. Have a Happy T Day!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I love this tag, it would be great fun to have hanging around. Super quote too, shows great confidence.
ReplyDeleteThat's a very pretty robin mug, and I enjoyed the teapot tour.

ReplyDeleteYour tag is great! Love the sprayed background. The sentiment is cute. I can identify with that as i am very short.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful teapot collection! Thank you for photographing them specially for us. THe off road vehicle is great but I love the other one, the yellow one, which of course is a French 2CV, the ugly duckling as it was called in its day. Because of its suspension, it was widely used as an off road vehicle although it did not have 4-wheel drive. we used to go on picnics with my friend's 2CV and take all the chairs out and use those to sit on. What a laugh!
Happy T-Day,
Hugs,
Lisca

Oh! Those teapots! I think the elephant is my favorite. Happy T Tuesday :)
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful teapots! I've never seen the like of them. And what a darling darling tag. All's well that ends well. Your boo-boo with the texture added some fussy cutting, but also gave your tag extra dimension. That's always a good thing ;-) Happy T Day, Yvonne! XOX Eileen
ReplyDeleteLove the tag and you did such a great job on it!!! You have some extremely interesting teapots for sure... The elephant has to be my favorite as I;m in love with elephants right now ♥♥♥♥ Thanks for sharing!!! Happy T DAY!
ReplyDeleteYour tag made me smile...at 62, I still say 'when I grow up,' but I've given up on the 'growing taller' bit! such cute tea pots too...thanks for sharing them, they are so unique!
