Favorites
I love Callas.
When I saw this one I knew I had to have it ... the beautiful golden color with a deep purple center.
When we lived on Galveston Island, we'd go downtown to the Peanut Butter Warehouse.
It was filled with antiques and junk and so much fun.
This teapot was one of the first things we found.
There is no marking of any kind on his bottom.
He has a crackle finish. He makes me smile.
You can see why he is a favorite.
"The legend of tea's origin is that it was discovered by
the Chinese Emperor Shen Nung in 2737 BC, when a tea leaf
accidentally fell into a bowl of hot water."

Yarn Along
I found a new MEME to join.
Perhaps Ginny will get me to crochet, knit and read more!
I've been crocheting this baby blanket.
It's a Herrschners kit called Lil' Lullabies Baby Blanket.
The Mom of the baby likes the color purple, so I thought this was perfect.
It was interesting. I crocheted the blocks and put them together first
and then the interior of the blanket was crocheted in place.
Something new and different for me!
The Nora Roberts book VISION IN WHITE is perfect reading material for the treadmill!
Here are the happy parents to be.
I'm so happy they were able to visit the states in October while Mr. Dragon was still with us
and able to enjoy their visit.
We always take the family to our favorite Thai restaurant and take photos with "Bob"!!!
A tradition that I'm sure will continue.
Be sure to visit Ginny at Small Things and see what others are making and reading.
Wishing you WELL and a JOY filled week.

Blooming in Musashi's Garden!
I've been working in the garden.
Geraniums are in pots on the balcony.
Tomatoes are planted.
Green beans are coming up and Musashi's Garden is blooming.
The west fence is covered by this trumpet vine ... common name Dragon Lady!
Musashi's Garden smells like orange blossoms with all the small citrus trees blooming.
Red and white camellias, dianthus and blooming citrus.
The Japanese maple is bursting out as is the crape myrtle.
What fun!
Wishing you WELL and a JOY filled week.
Mary is the wonderful hostess for Mosaic Monday.
Seasonal Sunday can be found at The Tablescaper.
