New News!

Hi everyone.  Sharon here again with my weekly update on all the news during the week.

Firstly, if you have been checking out the newly re-vamped website and news articles, you will see that Sue Blazye has pointed out that Gary Seymour has got his “open day” on Saturday, the 22nd April.  No doubt the word has spread and a lot of you have plans to go and see Gary’s latest creations.  Teapot Island is a great place to visit if you love teapots, as Sue has an amazing collection of teapots past and present, in every shape and form that you can think of.   You can see details of Teapot Island at www.teapotisland.co.uk.

I have had several people contact me with teapots for sale and teapots that they are looking for. 

One of my collectors is looking for the following teapots to add to her extensive collection - The Trophy teapot with a cricketer on the lid, The Military Gentleman’s Lady, Mr. and Mrs. House, Tin Can Set and (one of my old favourites) a Punctuali-Tea (in red, black or blue).  If anybody can help me out with these teapots, please let me know.

 I have also had somebody contact me who has one of Paul’s most famous teapots for sale - a “Cupid’s Cloud” complete with dolphin pedestal.  This is in perfect condition and again, if anybody is interested, please let me know.  Please click on this link if you want a reminder of what this amazing teapot looks like http://www.cardewclub.com/acatalog/cupidscloud.jpg

Congrats to Pippa Maundrell, the first person to fill out the on-line quiz.  She is now in with a chance to win one of Paul’s new Easter teapots.  (I am still waiting for a photograph of the new teapot to put on the website but Paul, being the perfectionist that he is, is still producing a sample that he is happy with.  I will let you all know when the photo is available.)

I think I have rattled on enough for now.  Again, please let me know if you have any queries or anything I can help and I will do my best.  Keep the comments and questions coming!

Until next week.

Sharon
