Yesterday afternoon I realised I hadn't been out of the house in three days!. I think I was developing cabin fever. Mr P said I needed a break from tending the small and the sick and sent me out. It was sunny out there. Who knew? I saw trees and everything!
A spot of retail therapy was needed so I headed here. Three floors of bric a brac and old books - heaven.
Then I saw a teapot. It was turquoise and chipped and lovely. It came home with me.
It holds three mugs*-full and will be used every morning.
And the cabin fever? Cured.

It's so strange when you've been stuck in for what seems like such a long time. To get out and just breath in some fresh air.
ReplyDeleteI've got my fingers crossed this will be my first week since Christmas that I will have no sick little ones at home - fingers crossed, fingers crossed xxxx

I had cabin fever last week..... didn't realise until I went out after nearly 4 days and felt weird.... back to normal now after some retail therapy and a walk in the countryside, didn't get anything as nice as your lovely 'new' teapot though
ReplyDeleteSue :)
I am so glad you got out of the house! I spent an hour with the Smalls at the allotment and that helped hugely - Mr DC working AGAIN. I'll try to persuade him about a night out but I think his deadlines are looming ...
ReplyDeleteBric a brac and old book - heaven indeed. Glad it did the trick. I must revisit there soon.

what a delightful teapot!
ReplyDeleteSuch a perfect blue. Like our skies today :) Fingers crossed for more blue skies tomorrow. And fingers and toes crossed everyone is feeling all-better very soon.

i know just how you felt! Not to worry spring is just around the corner. Can't stop, off to visit your link ....
ReplyDeleteBless him for noticing! And aren't a few moments of sun wonderfully restorative? As well as retail therapy, of course.
ReplyDeleteHope the small and the sick are all soon better and you are able to get out and about more. Love the teapot - such a summer sky sort of blue and it holds just the right ammount too - hope you will get many happy cuppas from it. Wish your haven for bric a brac was nearer and I'd be visiting it too.
ReplyDeleteAwww hope everyone is well soon, it gladdens your heart to get out on a sunny day doesn't it? That is a lovely tea pot

A taste of sunshine is just right to cure cabin blues. My DH dragged me out for a walk in the gardens at our local stately home this afternoon and it did the trick, cheered me up no end and I came home with biscuits and chocolate, also good for cabin fever!
ReplyDeleteJust what the doctor ordered! Hope health and vitality are soon restored.x
ReplyDeleteIt's no fun being stuck in the house all the time, hope all the little ones are much better!
ReplyDeleteLove the teapot, it looks just the sort of teapot that produces a good strong cup of tea! :)

I couldn't imagine not going out every day , it would drive me insane. Nice to see you treat yourself to something lovely
ReplyDeleteI have a red tea pot just like yours (though smaller) - nice! Makes you want to get out more.
ReplyDeleteOoh how lovely - we went there for my friend's birthday last year - and then onto a Country Living recommended teashop which I think was next door. Brilliant day out!
ReplyDeleteLove it! I'm jealous, I've got the wanties!! Of course a turquoise teapot can help cure cabin fever.
ReplyDeleteWhat an utterly delightful teapot :) So pleased you were able to take it home with you

That sounds like a wonderful cure for cabin fever. The teapot is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love everything about that teapot, it's so cute. I've been looking for one for me at my local charity shop but haven't had any luck yet.
ReplyDeleteGlad you got out for a break - 3 days of being stuck inside can seem like 3 weeks. Sounds like you headed for the perfect place to raise your spirits and you certainly found the perfect teapot - love that shade of blue. Here's to lots more thrifty finds and sunshine and no more illness or cabin fever!
ReplyDeleteI love your tea pot, one of my favourite things to do is put flowers in teapots and old tea cups xox
ReplyDeleteChipped enamel has an appeal doesn't it? What a pretty colour too.......... wish I could reach into my screen and spirit it away to here........ :O))))))))))!
ReplyDeleteHope your little people are better Emma.
So glad you got to see the sun! Cute teapot :-)
ReplyDeleteHello Melissa. Thank you for popping over. Your silver jewellery looks LOVELY!
ReplyDeleteI have no idea what I commented on the Coffee Lady blog but I'm glad it made you laugh!
get better soon, little ones!
ReplyDeletei love your new little teapot and i'm honoured that the tansy cup has a friend :)
Tending little ones here today Emma. So tired that the sight of your teapot and mug has made me head for my kitchen! x
ReplyDeleteHope little Pebble is on the mend now...
ReplyDeleteIt's good that you managed to get out Emma, and to one of my favourite places too. Did you have tea in Peacocks?!! It's been lovely & sunny hasn't it (apart from today that is!)
Love your chippy blue teapot. Note to myself: must go to Waterside Antiques - SOON!!

What a beautiful teapot Emma! I'm not surprised you needed it to come home with you. L xx
ReplyDeleteI used to get stuck in Ely train station a lot when I visited a boyfriend in Cambridge when I was at university. I never knew it had bric a brac and teapots. It was always just cold and dark.
ReplyDeletewonderful photography very inspiring blog and beautiful jewellery ;0)x
ReplyDeleteOf course it came back with you!
ReplyDeleteThank ye Gods for 'cabin fever' Mr diagnosis, blue teapots, sunny and tree-ness and hospital near misses. Hope everything gets one heck of a whole lot easier.
The perfect teapot. I adore the colour, bet it makes your tea taste even nicer!
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to say I do have a little thank you almost ready to wing its way to you. Life's been a bit upside down and I forgot. So sorry. Thanks again for the beautiful flower cards, they'll be going up very soon!
Have a lovely weekend
