“Does This Teapot Make Me Look Fat?”
Ever wonder how many marriages were broken up by one spouse giving the wrong answer to the other spouse asking “Does this [insert clothing item here] make me look fat?” (Usually, this is a woman asking a man, but you never know…) Well, imagine being asked “Does this teapot make me look fat?” What could… Continue reading

Do You Really Need to Clean Tea Stains Out of Your Teapots?
A lot of fuss gets made about cleaning teapots and other teawares. But this thought has recently come to mind: do you really need to clean tea stains out of your teapots? So often we go along being told that we need to do this or that or whatever, and we do it. Every now… Continue reading

Avoid the Strain of Tea Steeping with the 2-Teapot Method
Teabags. Infusers. Tea balls. Tea filter sacks. Yada yada yada. Skip all the strain of tea steeping with the 2-teapot method.

The Tea Princess Has a Nightmare
Bad things can happen at tea time. Any Tea Princess knows that. But anticipation of the worst possibilities is a real nightmare. Some event could go wrong and ruin the entire occasion.

“Stunt Double” Teapots
Just as there are stunt doubles in the movies, there are stunt double teapots. They are those not-so-photogenic yet oh-so-capable teapots who fill in for the show teapots.

Farewell and Goodbye, Dear Chatsford Teapot!
Do you remember the first teapot that you really loved using? Maybe it was the perfect shape, or the perfect size, or your favourite colour. Whatever made it special, you used it just about every day. Maybe you still do. My first teapot love was a Chatsford four-cupper. I bought it almost twenty years ago… Continue reading

Kit-tea Collectibles
Cat lovers are suckers. Really. Not only do we put up with all kinds of kitty nonsense, like the recent demolition of my cherry-red teapot – knocked off the counter by Panther chasing Skyler – but we happily fill up every nook and cranny of our homes with collections of pretty much anything and everything… Continue reading
