Today we were again at Ingela's place for dinner. I sent her a thank's note saying that ' Ambience - fantastic, food - healthy and excellent , music and the company - SUPERT!!!'. All these things apart - I love the Tea times at Ingela's and you will soon know, why?
Aren't these tea cups fantastic in their varied hues and forms and the story goes like this...
Ingela's father Kjetil from all his travels
brings home a tea cup as gift for his wife Penny. WOW! what a gift to bring home . Believe me they are such great conversation pieces when guests are served with tea. Isn't that a fantastic idea? (I heard that Penny's mother got such tea cups as gifts from her friends when they visited her). Copying this superb idea shamelessly - Sekhar and kids are commissioned to gift me tea cups from their travels and I already got my first one :-).
These lovely milk pots are molded by Penny. BTW Penny does ceramics as a hobby and she paints too and I am going to bring the various facets of this talented lady to you all very soon.
And the party ended on a high note with Ingela and her friend C singing and playing guitar for a song written and composed by C.

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely collection of teacups and wonderful gifts too.
I love the teapot! I did ceramics too years ago and made many things including creamers and sugars but never a teapot. Wish I had! Thank you for sharing this with Tea Time. Have a wonderful week.
Blessings,
