Hello Snap, thank you so much for your nice comment. This teapot is really a happy design. And your Fiesta mugs are perfect with that. And I love the flowers with the happy colors. Oh my, your furbabies are too cute. Greetings, Johanna

I think you have the most fun tea pot I have ever seen! It is really special. Your tea mugs are lovely too. I adore the tea towel or table scarf underneath. The tea up on it is beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing with us today. Hugs, Terri
You must have the biggest cupboards to store all those tea pots and cups! I will have mine chilled with a slice of lemon please, I am calling summer home.

Beautiful teapot and Spring coloured flowers. I love that quote, ..."harmonizes the mind..." so true of a cup of tea. Yvette@twistedvines x
Your tea setting looks so spring-like - I love the cheery colors. I passed a tea shop today and thought of you. There was a butterfly pot in the window which I think I remember you having.
Love the tea pot! As you approach our front door you can smell coffee. We have many rhodies and azaleas along with hydrangeas. They all love their morn jolt of coffee grounds.LOL
This is wonderful! I do put coffee grounds and tea into my garden - I didn't know the ants didn't like it - more, more, more - I have a couple of bites from working in the garden! Some coffee places will gather grounds if one asks them too - isn't that wonderful! Hope you have a great day, Kathy
Another fabulous tea pot, how many in your collection. Coffee grounds always go into the compost.... Just got a tin of double chocolate mate to try. I might even turn into a tea drinker....xox Corrine
Very beautiful, the design is so delicate! I love that quotation, thanks for this sweet post! And the flowers...ahhh these flowers are lovely! Luna - WE Love Luna
Hi Snap, Your teapot is wonderful! Thanks for the tips on coffee grounds. I knew that snugs don't like them but it's good to know that it makes for good fertilizer too. Enjoyed the quote as well. Thanks for coming by to have tea with me.
What an adorable Tea pot. I also admired your wee-siamese kitty. How darling! Thanks for dropping by the tea trolley earlier this week. Your comments were so appreciated!
Hi Snap! I just love visiting your blog. It is always so happy. Your teapot is so cute. Thank you so much for sharing it. Have a beautiful week. Martha
You are right, your Fiesta mugs do go well with the teapot.
Would someone inform the little black ants that invade my home in the warm seasons that they are NOT supposed to like coffee, many of them prefer to swarm particularly around my coffee pot. My plants do thrive when watered with my cold coffee though. Seems moat things around here benefit from coffee, and sometimes tea.
The flowers are so pretty, and the words about tea are so true.

Lindsey Goodwin writes a tea and coffee column for About.com.In her email today, she talks about tea and gardens.
Coffee grounds and tea leaves are good for compost.If you don't have a compost pile, she suggests adding coffee or tea aroundyour flowers for extra fertilizer ... something I've done for years.
Also, some bugs (like ants) don't like coffee!(Perhaps they don't like tea either!)

This teapot makes me smile.It is from East Hampton and their Chinatown collection.Unfortunately, the mugs that went with the teapot were sold out,but my Fiesta mugs in all their assorted colors work well.

The wonderful tea towel is from Anthropologie.

Great teapot. Isn't it neat how solids, like Fiesta, go with just about everything. Anthro has such neat things!
