| My Massachusetts kitchen. |
When I asked you to guess what color teapot I bought, I forgot there was a red herring on the path--the future (possibly red) Catskills kitchen influenced some of you. I didn't chose it with a kitchen in mind, but to complement the mugs I always drink tea from.
For several years my husband got these mugs, which I adore, for me for Christmas. However my teapot was white with blue flowers which clashed, but it never occurred to me to buy another one until it broke.
You can see that I chose orange, which many of you guessed. I like to carry a small pot of tea, a mug and a book to my favorite reading chair. It's nice and heavy, has a removable infuser, and I love the warm color and chunky shape. Right now I am re-reading West With the Night by Beryl Markham, which is fascinating and beautifully written. The pile of books in the picture is my growing winter reading collection. I panic at the thought of a reading shortage.
My weekend was good, but no time for details now as I have work to do and tomorrow I'm going on vacation. I hope to post from the road and to keep up with your blogs, but if I'm absent you'll know why. Since you are so good at guessing, where do you think I'm going? My criteria was, in the U.S. and a different (from the northeast) landscape. I'll make it easier and tell you I was influenced by an artist.
Enjoy your week.

Ohh, I guessed wrong. The orange kettle looks great, but I thought all kettles looked nice. It's such a pretty shape.
ReplyDeleteWish you a lovely holiday! Enjoy.

ReplyDeleteTaos or Santa Fe? - O'Keefe
I hope you're going there anyway so I can hear about it.
Have a great vacation Jen!
You guessed right. I'm so excited!
DeleteI am not at all good at guessing. I guess like Rubye Jack - O'Keefe. I love your new teapot. It has that cozy air about it. I do love your post, Jen. It is beautiful! Well, enjoy your time away and I am looking forward to your news on the road! Christa
ReplyDeleteThank you--it is a warm orange.
DeleteYour teapot suits the mugs very well Jen.

Wherever it is, have a wonderful vacation.

Love the mugs. Great teapot. Send blogs from wherever you go.
ReplyDeleteNow that we see the teapot in place, the color choice was inevitable.
ReplyDeleteUse it in good health.

Lovely bright teapot and gorgeous mugs, although no use to me as I only drink water (or wine!).
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful vacation wherever you go dear friend and I look forward to seeing/reading all about it. Relax and enjoy! M x
hmmm, I don't know my way around the US, so I won't guess. I hope you have fun, tho (and maybe you can share what's on that pile of winter reading material? I can't quite read it all :) xx
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your break away and 'go were your heart leads you'.....
Couldn't begin to guess as unsure of the US, but it all sound exciting!
Love the tea pot from earlier post too...
Love Maria x
