Tea for Tuesday #19 - Meryl Ruth Part 2 - Teabags

  Meryl Ruth's Teabags are as cute as her teapots that I posted about in March. Some are actually downright precious. Now the term Teabag is used to describe ceramic teapots in the shape of handbags.

Advent Calendar 2015 - Day 2

The Nutcracker bear wants to dance for us. Showing hi great leap in the air as if to say " I can dance and leap as well as any human." So with leaps of love let us dance with the Dancing Bear from The Nutcracker.

McQueen Monday #10

  Alright I am going to get right to it and dive in with the first picture. It  is in my favorite color...red. I like the dress and the waist cincher/corset that is with it but something needs to be done with the model's hair. I mean her hair is just BLAH. A store mannequin would have better hair that is if it had a head. I know she is young and has no say so on how she should look but whoever idea it was for this hair style needs to be slapped.


From Alexander McQueen Pre-Fall 2015




  Second outfit and let me see if I can be a little less critical. No I can't be less critical. I call her Mrs. Edward Scissorhands.




 Lovely dress, if you don't mind the pink pampas grass at the bottom and I don't, for Spring 2016. No qualms about the model.

Advent Calendar 2015 - Day 1

  This is  a tradition that I would like to start for Misha's Blue. This is truly my favorite time of year, even when I don't have the Ho, Ho, Ho spirit or whatever you would like to call it. I guess when it's 80 degrees outside when it is supposed to be in the 60's can make one feel that way. But I feel that the closer it gets to Yule/Christmas the better things will be.

  This first days Advent calendar entry is something I would love to do some day...see a lot of snow and have a nice fire outside to sit by. It would be my first time so I may not know any better.

13 Novembre 2015 - Viv La Paris

 A sad ending to what had been a beautiful day. As we know Paris was attacked by terrorist who are jealous of women and therefore have an inferiority complex. I am being polite in my thoughts here because social graces holds back some worse things I would like to say about these flaming, jealous, small-minded (and an anatomical male part) eejets who like to think of themselves as men. As of now I am assuming these acts of terror were carried out only by men. May they get the shock of their after life when Allah won't have anything to do with them.

Enough about them. I wasted enough breath on them and they are not worthy of being spat on. May they get what they deserve from karma three times. So mote it be.

 Paris will never die. If Paris can survive the hellhound Hitler it can survive his modern day comrades that think that their way of thinking and feeling are the only right way.

The scenes of Paris tonight are heart wrenching to say the least. I have been lucky to know that some of my online friends in and around Paris are fine. Love and prayers go to them.

  In honor of those that were massacred this night and those that have thus far survived I want to share pictures of Paris that will never die because the spirit of good people are stronger than evil ones. besides if we forget, even for a moment, the love and kindness that is Paris then the ones that did what they did tonight will have one and I'll be damned if I will let that happen.

VIVE LA PARIS!

July 4, 2015

  Hope everyone in America and those overseas are having or have had a good Fourth of July. I had rain earlier in the day but it has stayed cloudy but I don't think this will deter my neighbors from shooting fireworks.

Tea for Tuesday # 18 - Meryl Ruth Part 1 - Teapots

It has been within the last week that I have been on Pinterest that I have discovered Meryl Ruth and her teapots and teabags and have fallen in love with their quirkiness and cuteness. She has so many that I like that I have decided to break them down into two parts or installments. The first part is dedicated to her teapots and, hopefully I will not lapse in time, will do her teabags for part 2.

  Meryl Ruth is owner of  Porcelain Grace  as well as being an art teacher of ceramic arts and award winning artist with museum exhibits who also sells of her works.

  Here are a few of her tea pots.

Rocket Doggie Dog teapot - 2008



High Top Tea - 2008






Dysfunctional Par-Tea teapot -2013



Leather and Lace II, Ceramic teapot - 2008 (Makes me think of Stevie Nicks and Don Henley's song 'Leather and Lace' )
