I'm a Little Teapot
I'm a little teapot
Short and stout.
Here is my handle,
Here is my spout.
When I get all steamed up
Hear me shout:
Tip me over
And pour me out!
How many of us remember the lyrics to "I'm a Little Teapot" written by George Harold Sanders and Clarence Z. Kelley in 1939?! I can distinctly remember my grandmothers teaching me the words and motions to the song, and then performing a tap dance routine to it at a local studio.
Thinking back to my own parenting years, I'm almost certain I taught this nursery rhyme to my toddlers...at least, I'm hoping I did!
Anyway, I've been blessed to spend these past few days with my now college-aged daughter due to extreme cold weather and school cancellations. Yesterday, Mary Catherine and I had a mother-daughter date antiquing, shopping, and lunching. I love that my girl loves antiquing...she even goes with her girlfriends. Such fun, quirky kids!
Recently, I discovered a new-to-me home and garden website, henandhorsedesign and it brings me so much joy when I see her posts on my FB feed. While scrolling through her posts, I saw the most beautiful vignette arranged on her kitchen island. It was just the inspiration I needed to "make pretty" my own kitchen island. While out antiquing with Mary Catherine, I spied an adorable silver teapot, and in a neighboring booth I found a pretty platter. The other items I "shopped" from around my house and voila...a gorgeous island centerpiece, evoking a much more genteel time.

What a pretty island centerpiece! It's a hot cocoa kind of day around here and definitely a macaroni and cheese night. Stay warm!
