All the Christmas decorations are down and packed away waiting for next year.
All except the Snowmen.
After all, it is still winter!
Snowmen are well-rounded
just like my favorite handmade, hand thrown teapot.
I know it looks funny, especially with its stubby spout,
but it pours beautifully and has a strainer that can be removed.
I can do multiple brewings just by lifting out the strainer.
The design on the exterior has an Asian feel.
The last of the yummy Snowmen sugar cookies.
I'll be sorry to see them go as I'm sure they've helped in keeping me
well-rounded!
The teacup is from Bentley.
Bentley put out a collection of teas several years ago and included the teacup.
It's become a favorite.
The little watercolor is one of mine
and part of a series of snowmen I'm doing.
I seem to have to do a series ... one isn't enough!
My little snowman would like to remind you:
Be a jolly, happy soul.
Spend time outdoors.
Stay cool.
It’s okay to be a little bottom heavy.
Avoid meltdowns.
Be well-rounded.
Live well, life is short.
Enjoy sugar cookies!
Wishing YOU well, much joy and a wonderful cup of tea!
I'm joining several parties today:

where Sandi is having a party to celebrate Tea Time Tuesday's 5th Anniversary.
Loved this post and what a gorgeous tea-pot. So unique with the stubby spout. Deb
ReplyDeleteYour teapot is beautiful and I love the reminder from snowman!
ReplyDeleteLove your cheerful little snowmen, and their advice. Had to laugh about "it's okay to be a little bottom heavy"!! Your drawing is wonderful! A lot of talent there.
ReplyDeleteAnd having a teapot that pours well with no drips is key!
I love snowmen also, and have accumulated quite a few. Love yours and your pretty teacup! A "well rounded" post!

Hi Snap!
ReplyDeleteI love your teapot with the stubby spout and your teacup is a beauty. The snowmen sugar cookies look so tasty and your water color is darling! The sweet reminder at the end is perfection!!
Snowmen will be made here after the blizzard. Not as cheery as yours though! Love that teapot too. xox
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute teapot, Snap! It's wonderful that it comes with a tea strainer. I brought out my Snow Babies yesterday and have them displayed on my mantel for the winter. They didn't make an appearance for Christmas so I am enjoying them now. It doesn't hurt to keep some seasonal things out. A little whimsy is a good thing. Thank you for joining my tea party to help me celebrate. Have a lovely day.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Sandi
What a pretty tea pot. There will be plenty of snow men in the North East today!
ReplyDeleteWe just got a whole bunch of beautiful snow yesterday - so yes, ma'am snowmen are still quite awesome having them around.
ReplyDeleteI love when sometimes the neighbor children made snowmen. It's fun to hear their giggles outdoors playing.
We had a snow day from school but I haven't seen the kids out, and the sun is now shining. Weird for them.
Perhaps they're staying warm and dry and painting or baking! : - )
Love your watercolor card, that's beautiful.
Lovely tea vignette with your snowman water colour in the back. I would have questioned the spout on your teapot but you say it pours nicely - perfect!
ReplyDeleteI love that teapot! The snowman cookies are cute and I like your little painting of the snowman too.
ReplyDeleteYour snowman is punny!
ReplyDeleteThis is a cute and clever post - love the little fat teapot and the snowmen.
ReplyDeleteHi Snap
ReplyDeleteYou always show such a positive and funny mood in your teas! And of course your teapot and the beautiful teacup reflect their owner's good disposition, ...as well as your snowman watercolour.
Have a great week! Hugs
Blessings, Snap! Your teapot reminds me of the handmade pots at our local Clay Cottage in the arts district near here. I have two tiny ones I just love. And, yes--Christmas is in the bins but I switch out my Santa collection with snowmen in the dining/library room. The winter village stays up til Easter. It's quite a job to put up and I want to enjoy it for more than a month!
ReplyDeleteJoy to yo u!

Such a happy post! The stubby tea pot, the snowmen's advice and the delicious sugar cookies! Hope you have a wonderful week
ReplyDeleteI like those sort of teapots. Next time I find one I may get it. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSherry
What a fun post. I do love snowmen. And that teapot is so much fun.
ReplyDeleteLove the teapot!!!
ReplyDeleteI just love your post today. Snowmen are a favorite of mine. It put a big smile on my face. Blessings, Martha
ReplyDeleteThis post is so fun! I really enjoyed the well rounded bit. Terrific watercolor by the way.
ReplyDeleteI like your watercolor snowman, Snap. And I'm taking his advise to heart.
ReplyDeleteHa ! Snowman sentiments really do apply to us..."be well rounded". I think I need to add this to my character quality goals so they can match my outward appearance. Love this post.
