Eve is also a writer, having been featured in many tea magazines.
She has Writer's Desk teapots in four sizes.
Eve shared a delightful story about her delivery of Gerard Merlot Macarons
Eve's writing desk was made to her specifications by Mr. Keim, an Amish man from Applecreek, Ohio. It is made of Ohio cherry and since she couldn't decide if she wanted a finial, it is removable!
Eve's King Edward teapot was on a shelf in an English antique shop, waiting on shipment to her. The shop owner had purchased the teapot at an auction for her. He called to ask if she would mind having her teapot photographed for the Novelty Teapot Collectors book.
Eve is a retired OB nurse. These two paintings by P Buckley Moss feature nurses. Eve has them hanging near her desk.
Not only do you find a huge collection of tea pots at Eve's she also features her passion in her home decor. I instantly fell in love with this curtain!
Eve also played a selection on her player piano for us.
All too soon it was time to say goodbye, but the teapot and I had a wonderful day at Eve's!
A HUGE thank you to Eve and Bob Dear for opening their home to me. I wish I lived closer so we could share tea more often. Thank you for coming along on our visit.
Sips and Smiles,
Teresa and the Teapot
What an amazing collection - and to think this is a mere portion of the actual collection! I saw a few I have, I few I could kick myself for not buying them when I saw them, and many that I would like to have! Thank you Eve, for sharing your collection with Teresa and the Tardis so that we could also enjoy them!
ReplyDelete"I'm so glad we had this time together" indeed!
ReplyDeleteA big thank you to Teresa for spending the day with you and posting it for us and a big thank you to you for such a fun time for her to share with us.
I especially loved the tour of the teapots and the song at the pump player piano.
Your comments on the teapots are so kind, but Teresa deserves the credit for coming across Ohio on a frigid day and taking such good photos.
ReplyDeleteThe Bear on the player piano is leaning on a player piano teapot. His name is Wilfrid and I do not collect bears, but the piano teapot needed a jaunty fellow to lean on it.
wow, what a collection, thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWow, what an incredible collection! I envy her that bookcase, too. Thanks so much for sharing! Heidi T.
ReplyDeleteHow delightful to see Eve's collection. I used to enjoy
ReplyDeleteEve's posts on the ATAA Yahoo Group before I transitioned to the ATAA Facebook Group. I wish Teresa and Eve would join us on Facebook.
Rochelle, ATAA
All I can say is - w o w what an extensive collection of teapots. Amazing!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful collections, Thank you for sharing this blog and a glance of your collections..
ReplyDeleteOne of the childhood obsession is Tinkerbell, and this Tinkerbell Tea Set reminds me of those days.
ReplyDeleteThank you for taking us along on your visit to Eve's via this post. Her teapot collection is amazing! I'm sure the Tardis felt right at home!
ReplyDeleteHmm, what special dispensation does one need to get their comment published in a timely manner? It has been almost a week since I made a time sensitive comment that I wanted Eve to read since I doubt that she will retroactively be looking at comments. I am going to save myself any future frustration and view this Blog as "Read Only" and "No Comment" since I do not plan on becoming a Blogger. This must be a popular site for spam since it is focused on preventing spam rather timely posting of non-Blogger comments. Curious how long it will take for this comment to be read.
ReplyDeleteNo hard feelings, but I had to express myself and there is no turning back.
Rochelle, ATAA
LaDonna, you sly fox...I didn't expect this comment to be published! Oh well....
DeleteRochelle, ATAA
For Rochelle, I often have trouble posting on blogs, not just the ATAA ones. Somehow it just either all disappears or shows up days later. As for Eve doing ATAA Facebook, it is not going to happen. I happen to like the original form and don't have time for the other one.
DeleteWhat a special treat to get a glimpse of Eve's collection! Thank you Teresa and Eve for sharing this lovely visit with all of us!
ReplyDeleteAwesome Eve's collection! I love the quoted mug.
ReplyDeleteOh look at all the WEDGEWOOD. <3 I simply love it. So elegant.
ReplyDeleteSomeday I hope to visit Eve and see her collection and eat some of her fantastic scones and enjoy a cuppa. But this teapot tour was pretty good in the meantime!
Awww....how sweet! What a blessing! Eve's teapot collection is so extensive and beautiful!!! Love the whimsical Tinkerbell set...Shelley is always a favorite and Belleek is gorgeous! What a lovely day you must have enjoyed together :) Thanks to Eve for opening her home to you so we may all enjoy her wonderful collection!
