1. This is a very special teapot! It came to me all the way from England about 3 weeks ago. I received this from Tonya and her two children, Ashlynn and Brier. You can imagine how many teapots there are in England! Tonya tells me they are everywhere and when she is out shopping with her kids, they are always spotting teapots that they think the Teapot Lady (that's me) would like! They are drawn to polka dotted ones too! Go figure! Giggle! They were very excited about purchasing this teapot and sending it to me! Betcha they aren't as excited as I am to have received this teapot! Thank you Tonya, Ashlynn and Brier!!! I love my new teapot!
2. And that's not all! Before they mailed me this teapot they made cards for me inspired by the teapot they sent!! I have taken pictures of their adorable cards and will be uploading them into the Teapot Tuesday #43 gallery! I would love for you to comment on their cards and acknowledge their creativity! Ashlynn's is here and Brier's is here.
3. I made three cards for this challenge inspired by the three images on the teapot! Take one look at these cards and you'll be able to guess what refreshments we are having this Teapot Tuesday! It's a cupcake extravaganza!!! Fluffy, colorful, gooey, fattening, sweet and sprinkled cupcakes! Whoo Hoo! If you bring 6 cupcakes to the teaparty like the 6 on the teapot, you can eat two on the way over, eat two while drinking your tea and still have two left in case someone starts a cupcake fight! Hey, it could happen!

Oh, Cindy! This is sooooo cute!! I love that tower of cupcakes you created!!! All the different colors of frostings are so great!! That is so cool that you made such a tall card with that platter of cupcakes. Yum. What fun this is! I can't play this week, but will try to show up late next week. I'm sure there will be plenty of cupcakes left, and we don't even need to smuggle them in!!

Cindy this is so yummy looking. I love your tall card. I love how those cupcakes look. Some with sprinkles and some with circles and waves. They are each so unique. Thank you for hosting these wonderful teaparties.

This is absolutely fabulous, Cindy! So are the other two cards you made! And that is one darling teapot! Wonderfully creative takes on the images on the teapot! How fun that we get to celebrate Sabrina's birthday, too! Sorry to be late again, but didn't want to miss the fun!

Excuse me my mouth is full of one of your yummy cupcakes. Gulp. Slurp, a sip of tea, okay....this tall fancy platter of cakes is absolutely Brilliant (as the would say in England). Are there any scones and clotted cream?
