A Teapot From England and Jubilee Celebrations

Before my posts on my weekend with the girlfriends,

I wanted to share this little teapot that I purchased

 for my 90 year old Mother in law for Mother's Day.

She is a collector too

 and one of her many collections is of miniature teapots.

This teapot turned out to be larger than those in her collection

 but certainly charming in size, style...

... and that lovely gray blue enamel.

I  spotted this teapot in a blog post from The Perfect Whimsy.

Joasia, the author says she is Pinglish as she is originally from Poland

 and has lived in England for 33 years. cute, right?

 She has a lovely shop in Cotswold, United Kingdom

 and this wonderful little teapot is French! 

Anyway, I loved it...

...and so did Rachel, my Mother in Law.

Rachel is a retired teacher and recently gave me

 this child's book written in 1954.

It is called Candles for the Queen

 and is about Queen Elizabeth's coronation in 1952.

     

Charming, isn't it?

I thought it fitting to share this on the special occasion of the

 Queen's Diamond Jubilee!

OK...working on my photos tonight...

...tomorrow I will tell all about events of the weekend.

What do we want to see first?

Paula's home? Her gardens?

Photos of Deanna's fabulous shop Gather?

Deanna's beautiful Victorian home?

 Pics from the wonderful shop Taken For Granite?

I guess this will be a bunch of posts...all week!
