Warm Fuzzies and Teapots!

Teapots, what makes people get that warm, fuzzy, comfort feeling when we look at them? You may be different but for me they represent being loved and being cared for by Mom. Do you remember when you were young and home sick from school with a tummy ache or sore throat? What a nice feeling of being cared for when Mom would bring hot tea and dry toast or chicken soup to help us feel better. Even though a teapot was not part of my memory anything related to tea brings back that warm, fuzzy feeling of being loved by my Mom. There were other times too that I recall having tea and being comforted. When I was 18 I had a job about 15 – 20 miles from home and was "chased" most of the way home by what I now believe to be an unmarked police car but at the time, it was just some guy driving crazy (or crazier than me) and I couldn't get away from him. Needless to say when I finally got away and made my way home, I was shaking all over and was totally freaked out. My mom offered me a hug and a cup of tea in her good china. I remember, at the time, thinking I could use something a lot stronger than tea but being under the drinking age, I accepted the tea. I was amazed at how much calmer I felt sitting there sipping tea. Once again, the warm fuzzies come to mind.

Hello fellow Teapot Lovers,

At long last here are photos of my teapot collection for your perusal. Enjoy and feel free to post pictures of your own collection.

Most of my teapots I collected from auctions and estate sales when we lived in Virginia. My most recent addition is the miniature one made in China. I received it from my sister, Karen, who recently moved to China. The two newer ones, Michael Sparks and HuesnBrews were given to me as Christmas gifts from my sister, Debbie and my niece, Kristi.

There you have my humble teapot collection. I hope you enjoyed looking at them.

Welcome Teapot Lovers!

Hello and welcome to the teapot lovers blog. A place where you are welcome to share your favorite teapot photos and peruse my small collection. Although I have had most of my teapots for several years, my sister recently gave me a small teapot from China that I love. Actually, brought several teapots and had each one wrapped in Chinese newspaper. We each chose one and it was fun unwrapping them and watching to see what beautiful creations they each were.


Something inside me stirred and I am now on a quest to learn how to make one myself. Never mind that I have never done anything with pottery, I only know that I will be creating my own teapot one day but that's another blog, http://lovingpottery.blogspot.com/.


For now, I will soon be adding pictures of my current teapots and may be able to convince my other family members to add theirs as well. Please feel free to tell your teapot loving story in the comments below.
