Such a beautiful list of memories, Jama. It’s so nice that you put these together. FYI, I ordered several prints from Kendall Hillegas & adore them. I’m so glad you featured her work!

I have the Bonne Maman/strawberry pic, & the fried egg & brown broken shell for a friend who’s retiring (she raises all kinds of chickens, sells eggs). It was perfect for her!

Love, love your blog. Where can I find the teapot that says, “I’m a Little Teapot?” I’ve looked and looked.

Thanks for loving Alphabet Soup! The teapot is from the UK. It can be ordered via the Big Tomato Co.: http://www.bigtomatocompany.com/kitchenware.php?prd=295
I’d love to own one myself but not sure if I want to spring for the shipping cost.

Ah, the cost of shipping!!! I have two granddaughters after having 3 boys myself and I love, love, love spoiling girls. Thank you for answering. I send your Alphabet Soup to people all the time. My 71 year old cousin is delighted to receive the ones I like. Your Mother’s Day one was very special for us. Your blogs are a work of art and comfort.

I don’t blame you for loving to spoil girls! Their clothes are much cuter, for one thing. If I had a daughter or granddaughter, though, I’d probably want to keep her toys for myself. 🙂
Thanks so much for reading and sharing my posts with your friends. It’s good to know you’re out there!
