Something different for this Tea Time Thursday post! I found this little miss when I was out shopping with my good friend Lynda. Handmade and just a cutie made of wood. It just reminded me of the nursery rhyme " Polly Put the Kettle On". I love nursery rhymes.
I think my little miss looks a lot like the little maid in the graphics below. Her hat and her dress are really similar.
Here are the words for the nursery rhyme and the song. It was first published in 1803 and it is English.
Enjoy a cup of tea and enjoy the graphics.
I handed over my two quilt tops to my friend Nancy to do the long arm quilting. I will get them back after Thanksgiving...exciting! Pictures will have to wait until after Christmas. I am now working on my Tasha Tudor exchange gifts for St Nicholas Day.
Tomorrow I am going to the Monticello Antique Mall Christmas Open House! I look forward to it and will do some Christmas shopping.
One week until Thanksgiving.!
Beautiful pictures, I enjoyed your post. Hope you manage to get all your shopping done. Happy thanksgiving.
ReplyDelete'Polly put the kettle on' has been used in many a kitchen at tea time I should think. I've even used the phrase myself when afternoon tea rolls around.
ReplyDeleteYour new little miss is sweet and does have a kettle in her hand - maybe her name is Polly. :-)
Have fun shopping Linda, it's enough fun to look sometimes even if we don't bring home any new treasures.
I link with a few blogging sisters for Tea Time Tuesday but it could be nice to start a gathering on Thursdays. At first I though your TTT was a link party for the ATTAA group.
I thoroughly enjoyed your post, my friend :)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see your quilts! I am sure they will turn out just perfect.
Happy weekend to you! Love and hugs!
Love the little girl, she is adorable. I would name her Polly as it certainly fits her.
ReplyDeleteJust darling! I love the vintage illustrations, and yes, she's a doll!

Oh, I just love this post, Lady Linda!
ReplyDeleteIt's so neat to see those graphics and your new-to-you little wooden miss!
Thanks for your visit - and for your sweet appreciated comments. Have a wonderful weekend!
Linda: That is such a cute little wooden piece! Very old looking. Our snow is mostly melted. Yes, I got my sewing machine fixed - new parts there where you turn the dial the tighten the tension. I wish I had more time to sew.
ReplyDeleteThank You Linda For being a faithful friend. I use to read this rhyme all the time to My girls.I still recite it to myself. When I became a Grandma I started all the Nursery rhymes over again.One more thing We have in common. :) I love Your new header,so pretty. I wonder sometimes how You get involved and find all these wonderfully fun activities..Hugs and blessings to You-Denise
ReplyDeleteOh By the way,I do think that wooden girl did originally come from some kind of set for the rhyme.Just a hunch
ReplyDeleteHello from Spain: great find. Fabulous artwork. Lovely pics. Keep in touch
