Hello every one I know it has been a long time since I have been around but I have been so busy with other things I haven't had much time for me. We have statred a Vietnam Veteran's of America chapter in our town and I can't believe the time it takes up. However we have everything under control now so I can sit back and do what I want for a change.I found this little tea set at a garage sale last fall and for the life of me can't remember what I paid but it wasn't much I am certain. The Anniversary clock was my Grandmothers and started me on a new collectable. I now have four sizes and about ten in all. I really love them. My youngest granddaughter lives in Kentucky and she has started collecting childrens tea sets. Needless to say she gets about four packages from Nana every month. She is seven going on twenty. I am so glad to be back. Until next time...............

Christmas Teapots

I went thrifting today and found things for both of my blogs. Like I don't have anything to put on them (lol). there was a sale on christmas things 75% off. The Snowman cost thirty cents and the Santa was fifty cents. Today that is the cheapest I ever paid for a teapot. I thought they were really cute and believe it or not I didn't have any teapots that were Christmas themed.I guess I am on a roll this is the second posting this week.It is always a relief to get the Holidays over with. I get so moody and hateful sometimes that I am ashamed but it seems that grief takes over my life at this time of the year.It will be 12 years since we lost our first born at the age of 25. His birthday is coming up on Jan. 31 and the day he died Feb. 6. After all those dates I will be back to myself once again I hope. You would think the pain would go away after all this time but it just doesn't. Everyone have a Happy New Year and God bless each of you this coming year. Please keep our soldiers in your prayers it isn't getting any better over there. They say time repeats itself and this whole thing takes me back to about 38 years ago when Vietnam was happening. I hated it then and I hate it now. Okay enough is enough. Til we meet again..............

Beautiful New Teapot

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all my friends in Blogland. I am so sorry it has been so long since I posted but the Holidays are really hard for me and I guess I get the doldrums about a week before Thanksgiving and it pretty much stays with me until Feb. 6th. I got this teapot at the Friday night sale we go to. I gave $6.00 for it and I think it is beautiful. I don't have one with the blue as vibrant as this. To all my buddies in Aussieland my prayers are with you that the brushfire situation will get under control. We had so many in Oklahoma this year we were afraid to leave our house. For months all you could smell was smoke and had to wonder if it was close to you. Thankfully we didn't have any that close. now we are beginning to get the much needed rain that we didn't have all Spring and Summer.Everyone have a Happy Holiday from me to you.................

Elegant Occupied Japan Teapot

I

I really love this teapot. You can't tell by the pictures but it is a really majestic purple with gold trim. I found this one at a garage sale this summer for $2.00 It holds about four cups. We have been really busy trying to start a new Vietnam Vets Organization. Sometimes I want to cry and other times I just want to walk off and leave to the guys. It is so hard for Roger to do anything because he can't hear so that leaves me to handle whatever comes to his mind . Believe me when I say his mind never rests.There is such a need for an organization that no matter what I can't give up. So many of our Veterans have PTSD and don't have a clue how to file a claim or even what the symptoms are. I always knew there was something not quite right with him but had no idea there was a name for it much less compensation. Now that I know I have to "Pay it forward" and help other vets and their families. Anyway I'll get off that subject for now at least. Got to go to the other blog and put some "goodies" on there. Watch for your Angel it's always with you................

Another Porcelier Teapot

I remembered I had another Porcelier teapot but could'nt find it until tonight. That should be a hint at how many teapots I have. I think I like the little Dutch boy and girl the best. We have had a very busy week-end and I think this week will be just as busy so be patient and I will post as I can. I don't know why this uploaded two pictures of the same thing but sometimes my brain and my computer get mixed signals. Every one have a great week...........

The Other Two Teapots

These are the other two teapots i bought at the flea market Thursday. both are hand painted Japan. I think they are all so pretty. It just made my week. The weather is really wonderful today. It is about 60 degrees and pretty and sunny.I got a whole box of stuff last night at the auction . There are a couple of things on goodies galore. Go look.....................................

Porcelier Teapot

We stopped on the way home today at a monthly flea-market in Bonham Texas. These people were setting out all these wonderful old antiques. It was one of those deals where you wish you were rich and could make them an offer on all their stuff. Any way I found three teapots and this is one of them. It is in excellant condition and really heavy. I thought it was so pretty and I didn't have anything even similar to it. I promise to put the other two up this week-end when I have time. Hubby has me working on a Veterans project and it is so time consuming I don't have very much extra time for anything else. Until next time. remember this week-end is Veterans Day so remember all the ones we have lost over the years...................
