the arrival of color


the gray days are lessening


and color is making an appearance


soon, it will take center stage


summer is a diva

I took this picture in Langley WA
regretfully, I do not know the name of the shop
it's on 2nd Street between the firehouse and the book store

clever photos and stories. Langley is the town, I am pretty sure, where my friend's sister has the sewing shop.

how many tea pots do you have?? At the mo, I just have one but long for another.

I love how the photos went from black and white to color to stylized color. Of course, I know that's not how the photo started, but I love what you did with it. This is true homage to tea pots! And I love that you point out summer is a diva. Happy Tea Tuesday, dear Kimmie.

over here we spell it colour, whatever way we spell it, those are magnificent teapots, because the UK has had a very hot April My Poppies are out - oriental red - and they look like huge silk plates with caviar served in the center, so nice after a grey (gray) winter, after taking tea with Bleubeard and Elizabeth I thought this week would join in..
