Links this Week: Mr. Linky is not being very sociable this week, and anyone who has linked after #14 may not be seen by all readers. I have posted a "new" Mr. Linky at the bottom of this post. If your link is #15 or beyond, would you please repost to the second Mr. Linky? I will then 'try' to delete your original link so as to keep 'the house in order'. I'm sorry for the extra time and effort this takes, but I don't want anyone to miss a link because they can't read it on their computer screen. Thanks so much!

The Pouring Teapot
This week is all about sharing about teapots. Do you have one? two? or three? maybe more? Is it for display only or do you use it for tea? What is the tea server you use most? Your favorite teapot (or is it something like a quart jar?). Tell your teapot story, give it's history, and tell what it means to you. You can share more than once if you'd like. Antique, new, Asian, English, or something in between --- we'd love to know!
Photo above: this teapot was given to me last Christmas by my son, Rylan. He shopped carefully for this lovely little teapot from St. Petersburg, Russia. I love the translucent glaze on it and the beautiful hand-painted design.
What a thoughtful son you have to have giving you such a sweet gift.
ReplyDeleteI don't have much for teapots yet, although I do have one that my father-in-law got at a yard sale along with a set of stoneware dishes with leaf prints on it and he then gave the set to me. I guess I could share that one since it is all I got. :)I love all the ones you display here on your blog though. If you don't mind me asking, how many teapots do you have? Just curious.:)
Well have a great day La Tea Dah, it's a beautiful one here.

Now that was a very thoughtful gift! This teapot is wonderful and not only because it is Russian :0)
ReplyDeleteI'm posting all of mine in one fell swoop!
Have a wonderful week...
Your pot is absolutely gorgeous! You son is a good reflection of the love in wich you obviously raised him.
ReplyDeleteJust letting you know that my post is up. Can't wait to hear what we are going to do next!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I need to learn how to teach my son to get me a teapot!! That is sweet that he knows you so well.
It hardly seems possible that this is the last chapter of the Tea blogathon. Thank you, La Tea Dah, for a most enjoyable and informative series of posts.
ReplyDeleteToo bad I just found this! I missed most of the blogathon! OH, well - at least I got to participate in this last part!
ReplyDeleteThe teapot is beautiful. I love the ribbing in the side.
ReplyDeleteYou have the most beautiful teapots and tea sets! I wish I could tour your home! I'll be posting my favorite later today.
ReplyDeleteI love your Russian teapot, so pretty. I'm sad that this wonderful blog-a-thon is coming to an end. I've enjoyed participating and even more, reading everyone else's posts. Thank you for doing all this!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful tea pot Rylan selected for you. Simply gorgeous. I have shared a family heirloom on our blog today as part of my contribution to this week's blog-a-thon.

Just a suggestion, but you may want to move your badge up for the blog-a-thon. I think if it was easier to find, more ladies would link to it as they should.It's kind of 'buried'.
ReplyDeletep.s. love the teapot. I just love a gold accent on a teapot!
This is a great subject! Your teapot is so lovely...what a nice gift.
ReplyDeleteMillie
Absolutely gorgeous! The translucence is amazing.
ReplyDeleteIt seems it would be perfect to drink tea from on a quiet afternoon.
The teapot is very pretty. I just found your blog and I am loving it!
ReplyDeleteMine are up although they are no where near as impressive as some others on here. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteWhat a thoughtful son! And a lovely teapot! Thanks so much for the blessing of this tea blogathon. I've enjoyed it so much! ~Kathy
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful teapot and an incredibly thoughtful son!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, LaTeaDah, for all of your efforts in pulling everything together for us all these weeks. I especially appreciated reading your comments as I traveled from blog to blog. You're a wonderful encourager and very thoughtful yourself.
Hugs,
Vee
Your teapot is beautiful, but Mister Linky seems to be having a problem this week. The typeface is twice the size it usually is and after number 14 the rest of the entries are cut off so that they can't be read. When I scroll down to the other Mister Linkys in previous weeks, they all look okay and show everyone on the list. Could you check to see what has happened this week? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThis was fun. I'm enjoying seeing all the teapots! Thank you so much for hosting this!!
ReplyDeleteIS it just me or is Mr. Linky hiding the last row of participants? I'm still able to click on the edge and get there, though. :0)
ReplyDeleteHi LaTeaDah,
ReplyDeleteWhat a difficult assignment this is... hahaha, just kidding! I am so glad I was able to participate this week.
I couldn't join last week because the tearoom I know that's in our area closed. I was bemoaning to my husband how I couldn't join your blogathon, and a few days later, he told me he heard on the radio a new one had just opened. So, we will be going there soon.
Thanks again for being such a gracious hostess!
I just found this blog-a-thon as well. I will post pictures when I have a camera near at hand.Think daughter took it with her today!! Go figure.
ReplyDeleteWhat pretty teapots! We have over a dozen between the two of us - they come in handy during our tea parties!!
ReplyDeleteIt was nice stopping by!

I couldn't resist to add another post when I found some fabulous old photos of Russians drinking tea the way I rememeber drinking tea as a child.
ReplyDeleteLaTeaDah,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the sweet comments and encouraging words you have left on my blog... I am working away on that quilt! Will post updates soon... :)
I think that I've done the correct thing about re-linking. Good luck with Mr. Linky!
ReplyDeleteA collage of some of my tea pot collection has been posted today!
ReplyDeleteNancy
I'm so excited that I actually get to participate in your tea blog-a-thon this week. I really wish it could go on endlessly because I just love it.
ReplyDeleteI finally made it to the tea party! Pop over and pick the tea gift set you prefer and it will wing its way to you! Thanks so much for all the tea time fun!
ReplyDeleteMy second post features mini teapots.
ReplyDeleteHi LaDonna,
ReplyDeleteThis week's post is up at my blog. I tried posting my link to the top Mr. Linky but it didn't show up so I tried the bottom one and it shows up there.
Thanks,
Sandra
I have enjoyed this very much!
ReplyDeleteSorry I'm a little late in linking to my blog. I did put the blog post up before leaving for vacation. :)
