(orange sized wee teapot by Gary Rith, fresh outta the kiln Monday)
Do you get them at the grocery store? I can't remember the last time I bought a normal orange: we always get the wee clementines and mandarins, the little cuties! So sweet and the peel almost falls right off.
THE CONCEPT of little cutie is true everywhere, don't you think? I love beanie babies still (see my chest of drawers below) and half of their appeal was that they were SMALL little cuties. Like a small orange is cuter than a big one, right? DITTO SMALL teapots: somehow they are cuter than full size, hmm?
(note: my chest of drawers here: I got it a few years ago from an antiques dealer. It is SO over the top in every way, I just love it...but you would be appalled to hear that it is, um, one of 2 dressers I have, the other being devoted SOLELY to my tee shirt collection, this one solely for jeans, and, well, more tee shirts)
Whether a child, or a child-at-heart, someone is going to have a beautiful tea pot soon!
ReplyDeleteWe love the clementines and little cuties here too. The teapot is wonderful...we novices regard making anything resembling a tea pot a significant rite of passage. You...make awesome teapots in many sizes including a very challenging small size. Great stuff!
ReplyDeleteDitto on the cuties, they are delicious. And that is a very cool dresser.
ReplyDeleteThe teapots are sweet. I love dollhouse size things...tiny food, tiny furniture.
