Flower Pots

Hello friends who call in to see me today.

I am having  a  cuppa over  at
 where we are always made very welcome with a drinks related post.

 I am sharing some photos of a visit we made to Settle.
on Saturday
. They were holding a Flowerpot Festival


The couple on the road side caught our attention and we ended up visiting Settle 
 as our day's destination.







Most of the shops  seemed to be involved .
These two were a treat to look in side as well.

Jack had his soldiers stood to attention as visitors passed by.

Minnie and Mickie, were just happy to see folk  going into their shop.
The tin man propped up in  the  shade of  a tree, had no intention of chasing the dragons it was so hot.

These two , just wanted to fly off and cool down.


Use your imagination, but I was told that the one on the left is a mermaid, she was even sporting a bikini top.  Phyllis just wanted to sell her pies.

Even the top of the old telephone kiosks had flowerpot creations on them.

The cow was exhausted in the heat. Harry and his friend were just thankful for a seat close by, they wouldn't have wanted to use their magic with so many muggles around.


By now we had reached the Market square and really needed some refreshment.
This Cafe/Take out had a big queue and the most delicious aroma's the make the mouth water.
There was seating outside, too many folk to get a photo.
I chose a hot  sandwich filled with fresh cooked  bacon rashers ,
 oozing  Camembert cheese  and cranberry relish .
Guess what was in the take away drink...... tea....of course.


This was the view from where we were sitting.


This group were outside a wool and materials shop.
all the folk stopped quite a while to see this family outing.

I will share some more flowerpot photos  soon.
As I have still quite a few still to unload from my camera and get sorted out..
Thank you for calling in to see me today.
Happy T day everyone.

  2. These are incredible flower pot art. Each one is very unique and all are so very different. What impressed me was the range of imagination people came up with while creating these flower pot people. I can't wait to see more of these beauties.

    Your sandwich looks great, even for this vegetarian. And of course, I know it was tea in your cup. Thanks for sharing these wonderful and totally unique flower pots and tea with us for T this Tuesday.

  14. A Flowerpot Festival? I never heard of anything like that. How unique and what charming decorations people came up with. I love Minnie & Mickey, as well as the angels and the characters on the phone kiosks! The flowerpot family with dog, of course, is wonderful!

    Happy T-Day, Yvonne! Hugs, Eileen

  25. How delightful to go and see the flowerpot festival. Many villages hold one. Where we used to go in Devon, there was a flowerpot festival every year. I always enjoyed it immensely.
    The naked man café? You got me all excited there! But a bacon sarnie is not to be sniffed at either. At my age, I suppose I'd rather have a bacon sarnie!
    Happy (belated) T-Day,
    Lisca
