It's been quite a long week this week, so I'm glad to be sitting at home sipping on a cosy cup of tea... from my new teapot! I think my tea consumption has gone up quite a bit since buying it just because I love it so much. As if I didn't drink enough tea already! I went op shopping last weekend with my mum and picked it up from one of my favourite local Salvos stores. After bringing it home and cleaning it up a little bit, I noticed that the lid was a little bit smaller than what it should be. I think the lid must have been from a matching sugar bowl at some stage. It still works fine. What I loved about it was its cute little spout and, of course, the colour.
The milk jug I picked up a few weeks ago at the Melbourne Design Market and I am totally in love with it. It makes me smile whenever I look at it for some reason. I just like the shape of it and the surface texture. It's so simple and neat.
I say it's been a long week, but it really has been quite fun and not a bad at all. It just feels like a long week (possibly because I have lots of ideas that I want to get started on over the weekend!). I had a meeting with my supervisor yesterday and everything on the PhD front seems to be on track and so I kind of lost momentum to go into work today. It's funny that - I get told I'm doing ok and instead of it spurring me on it makes me slack of the next day! But the weather was just so nice outside: how could I possibly spend the entire day in a dull office with weather like this? So I spent the afternoon weeding the garden in the sunshine.
Hello, I'm Pat and I'm visiting from Gina of Gingerbread's blog. She mentioned you in a post about all she's learned from you, and I'm glad I came over as I love your recipes and found your blog very enjoyable.
ReplyDeleteI just adore these two - they are so sleek and simple in their design, I'd want to be using them at any opportunity! Especially love the colour of the pot.
ReplyDeleteI love an afternoon of weeding. Love a cup of tea. Love, love, love that tea pot and jug. The Sydney Design '08 markets are on this weekend and I'm a-goin'. I've just come across your blog and will have a good browse through. Cheers and have a good week.
