Tea Anyone?

So I've had some pieces waiting to go on to Etsy for a little while now. Well last night I got the listing bug. Here's 2 of them related to tea.  They are also related in that they both have yellow roses. Yellow Roses were my Mom's favorite rose. She passed away 1 1/2 years ago. So here you go Mom...yellow roses...thinking of you today.

The one to the left is a miniature teapot box. Inside is a tiny porcelain yellow rose.

Here's the link to it:

The one to the right is a small teapot. It is useable as it will hold enough tea for one cup.
This is microwaveable. You could put it in the dishwasher but I think I would handwash it so the ends of the roses and the leaves don't get chipped.

Here's the link to the listing:

I Could Use a Cup of Tea!

Well I really have been having fun with the 3 kids I'm babysitting for a week. Tomorrow their Mom returns and it's back to normalcy. But I have missed making art. I just can't do it with 2 preschoolers who want my undivided attention.

Like right now I have a 3 year old about to perch on my laptop. I really need a cup of tea right now!  LOL

Saturday is a craft show that I have to prepare for. I guess all the procelain I'm gonna take is already painted because I won't have time to make anymore. I have a number of new items I need to upload to my shop but again just haven't had time to do it. The little tea pot shaped hinged box is one of the items I managed to get up online before the kids came to visit.  It's so cute. I love tulips and I'm longing for spring!

 A friend pointed out that you can put tea bags in it. Who knew? I never thought about that before. So store your teabags in it (it will only hold a few) or you can deposite your used one's in it until you can toss them.

It's available in my shop:  http://www.etsy.com/listing/66149252/hand-painted-porcelain-tea-pot-shaped
