Christmas Tea for One, Two, Three

Lovely Past Times Holiday Teapots (above & below),
presents over the years from my British Sister - in - law, Tina McFadyen

Strange how a teapot
Can represent at the same time
The comforts of solitude
And the pleasures of company

~ Zen Haiku Quotes ~

"I had three chairs in my house; one for solitude,
two for friendship, three for society."

~ Henry David Thoreau ~
American author and naturalist, 1814 - 1862
~ from Walden ~

Close - Up with David Winter Houses, on Platter by Gien

“Outside of the chair,
the teapot is the most ubiquitous and important
design element in the domestic environment
and almost everyone who has tackled the world of design
has ended up designing one.”

~ David McFadden ~
Canadian poet and novelist, b. 1949

"Bread and water can so easily be toast and tea."
