ok, not really.  but i do love tea, and also teapots, and have somehow started a collection without meaning to.  it all began when my seester gave me some yummy tea and adorable teacups for a bridesmaid gift.  later she found out i had no teapot, so she gave me one of those for christmas.  then my voonderbob husband gave me an adorable teapot one day just to remind me that he loves me very much exactly how i am.  imagine my distress when i broke it.  serious llama face.  eventually he gave me a new one, and then my mom got me a seriously cool one and suddenly there are as many teapots as people in our house, and i'm the only one who seriously drinks tea.  for some reason this has only made me like teapots more, perhaps because every time i see one, i think of someone i love.  speaking of love....

on february 3rd, my mr. jonathanly and i celebrated 8 years of blissful marriage.  i have loved every moment of it, even the tough ones, and am thrilled to say that i love him every bit as much and probably more than i did on the day we got married.  i still feel like i've been given an incredible gift every day when i wake up and find my best friend already beside me.  and this year, my wonderful, thoughtful anniversary gift was, naturally, a new teapot.

small teacups

you see these teacups?  they're lonely.  they're lonely because the teapot they belong to dove headlong onto the floor two weeks ago.  they (and thier teapot) were a gift from mymr.jonjon on a day that i needed reminding of how much he loves me.  (he's really great about that stuff.)  naturally i was a little upset that something so special to me (and vital in that i make and drink a pot of tea every day) had decided to end it all.  ok, it was my elbow that did the deed while i was washing dishes, but that only makes it more distressing.  i am only now prepared to think about a replacement.  i have an enormous teapot that my seester gave me, but until i find someone to drink tea with me, it's a little (a lot) large for daily use.  anybody have any great ideas for where to get a new, somewhat modern but not too out there teapot?  and yes, i could type "cool teapot" into google, but i don't really feel like wading through all the stuff a search would pull up.  google and i have differing ideas of "cool".
