Tea Things Tuesday..........

Hello my sweet friends and welcome once again to "Tea Things Tuesday".

For those of you who may be new visitors to my blog, "Tea Things Tuesday" is where I and anyone else who wishes to join in, share something tea related each Tuesday. I first started by sharing my teacup collection, but have now moved on to my collection of teapots.

This week, I will share with you a beautiful china teapot with a lovely purple pansy pattern....

I am fortunate to also have a matching teacup and desert plate for this teapot. A complete set for one. Notice the little lady figure sipping tea? I found this charming little piece several years ago at Hallmark. She looks somewhat out of place being as tiny as she is next to the teapot, teacup and desert plate, but she definately is a sweet addition to the display.

To see even more wonderful tea themed goodies, please pay a visit to the blogs of these wonderful ladies to see what they are sharing with us today:

Monday Dreamin'.....of this lovely home.

I thought this home was breathtakingly beautiful. The wardrobe area alone, (an entire room) was enough to make me dream...It's like a boutique! Apartment Therapy knows how to find them.

Lovely Ladies....

Hello my sweet friends and Happy Saturday to you all..

I hope you are enjoying your weekend so far. I have been. The weather here in Minnesota today is wonderful for this time of year. The sun is shining brightly and the temperature is a pleasant 61 degrees. While definitely not the hot temperatures I'd prefer, I'm not going to complain as I know that just a month or two down the road, when winter begins to settle in for the long haul, I will find myself dreaming about and wishing for days like this.

So while I enjoy the weather today, I will leave you all with something to enjoy as well. Today I will share with you my small but lovely collection of Lady Planter Figurines. I just love to collect these and I am always on the hunt for more as I am roaming through the antique and thrift stores.

The first lovely lady is wearing a dress of yellow and green. She looks a bit like Marie Antoinette I think...

The next lady is a tad bit smaller in size and she is wearing a dress in the softest shade of blue and cream. So pretty...

This next beauty I will show two pictures of. One without any flowers in the planter.....

And one with a bundle of artificial flowers filling the planter on the backside...

And last but not least is the one I consider to be my favorite. This little beauty is the smallest of them all, but as you can see, she is PINK!!! Not a bold pink, but the softest shade of pink with some cream as well. The backside planter of this one holds a tiny batch of cream pink roses.

I hope you've enjoyed seeing this charming collection of mine. I know that I've enjoyed sharing these lovely ladies with all of you.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!!!

Jennifer's Closet & new site coming soon!

We've been busy re-deigning my MadebyGirl shop & will soon be introducing other artwork by other artists .....so you'll soon be able to shop more variety. I'll also be adding a new section called "Jennifer's Closet" - where I'll sell items from my own closet & home. Below are some examples below, (rarely ever worn). I hate to get rid of great items, & would rather see if any of you out there wants to purchase them for a much cheaper price then I paid. With that said, have a great weekend & be safe everyone!

Saint Cupcake.....I want some!

I came across this amazing bakery called Saint Cupcake. They make some very interesting flavors....and I hear they can ship these yummy treats to you, even if you're not in their immediate Portland area! That is sweeeeet!


Kime Buzzelli's Art.....

Kime Buzzelli creates some of the most beautiful pieces of illustrations & paintings I've seen. She is inspired by all things fashion, films, music & fantasy! Here are a few of the ones I adore from her portfolio. Enjoy....

Lots of Love from Wife Style....

I love CREATIVE people.....Erin from The Wife Style Files really grabbed my attention with these DIY prints she put together for her sister. It was her own personal project to show her LOVE. Don't you just LOVE the word 'Love'? That is what made me stop, I've got a thing for that word as you all know from visiting my store. Enjoy & thanks Erin.



Oh, and check out her stylish little office, love that inspiration board & that desk!


Inside Pieces......

Thanks to Susan for sending these pics of the inside of Pieces , which I blogged about here. Enjoy!




Tea Things Tuesday.....

Hello my friends and welcome to another addition of "Tea Things Tuesday".

I'm thrilled to have you stop by for a visit today to check out what teapot I am going to be sharing with you from my collection. It won't surprise you in the least when I tell you that the teapot for this week is covered in dreamy pink roses. I'm sure many of you are just like me when you are out shopping, whether it be in the antique shops, thrift stores or retail stores and you find your eyes immediately drawn to anythign with roses on it.

This lovely rose patterned teapot found its way into my home about two years ago after I discovered it in a wonderful antique and gift shop just across the border of Minnesota in the charming town of Osceola, Wisconsin.

Just look at the pretty roses. The colors range from an ever so soft shade of pink, to one just a tad bit darker...

Loving the color pink as much as I do, it's hard for me to imagine that there are some people out there who don't like the color pink. I guess they just don't get the "Pink" thing or know how to appreicate the beauty and many shades of this color.

If you want to see some more pretty tea things, whether they be pink or another color, please visit the blogs of these lovely ladies to see what they are sharing today.
