"A circle is the reflection of eternity.
It has no beginning and it has no end -
and if you put several circles over each other,
then you get a spiral."
~ Maynard James Keenan ~
"I'm a little teapot
Short and stout
Here is my handle
Here is my spout.
When I get all steamed up
Hear me shout
Tip me over
and pour me out!"
~George Sanders~
What's NOT to love about this simple, spontaneous shot,
taken at a wonderful B&B outside in a screened-in breakfast nook in Rockport, Mass, two years ago.
from Wikipedia, "The Teapot Song was originally written by George Harold Sanders and Clarence Z. Kelley when trying to teach a tap dance routine to children. George felt the song encouraged natural pantomine.

The Place du Tertre is a square in the 18th arrondissement of Paris, France. With its many artists setting up their easels each day for the tourists, the Place du Tertre is a reminder of the time when Montmartre was the mecca of modern art. At the beginning of the 20th century, many painters including Pablo Picasso, Amedeo Modigliani, and Maurice Utrillo were living there, some at the nearby Le Bateau-Lavoir.

I love Christmas, and a Christmas with all the trimmings is just what I enjoy. Therefore Christmas luncheon had on the back terrace is a classic affair. Royal Albert "Val d'Or" tableware, crystal glasses, Sheffield cutlery, antique silverware and napkin rings, antique linen and Tom Smith Christmas crackers. However, it is my floral centrepiece that I enjoy most about my table setting every Christmas. This year my florist supplied me with white and brilliant red roses. The photos don't do the red justice. The asparagus fern comes from my garden, as I like to create my own centrepieces.
I hope you all had a lovely Christmas Day and are enjoying the time between here and New Year's Eve.

We had lunch at this fabulous ancestral home-turned-restaurant yesterday. Each table had its own little bell for calling your personal server. We didn't have to use ours though because, apart from getting our food, she was in the room with the us the entire time.
Day 3/31
At the moment I'm decorating my lounge, hence why I decided on a monthly project of something I could do indoors.
Set for Christmas - Day 4
There will be ice cream for pud, but I'm not sure what the main course will be. I'm off out for the day and will see what I feel like for dinner when I get home, but it might be an omlette and salad.

Visit to the Gilmore Car Museum in Hickory Corners, Michigan on March 12, 2020. This table setting (and the two books) are for sale in the gift shop. Isn't that plate a brake disc? And, check out the wrenches as silverware.
