I recently came across this picture of these " inspirational" teacups
which almost of brought me out in hives
these were dreamed up by some poor sod who doesn't live in the real world
or a bloke... only a bloke could be this delusional
Sorry Nigel at Freebird... you aren't lumped in with that lot as we all know you are special...
The thing is I felt they were all a bit smug
or maybe I just have a cynical hat on, but these things are not my cup of tea
I will give them Creativi-tea
because I think my creativity is indeed fuelled by tea
but the others are in that same category as
waking up and magically having a small butt and no wrinkles
just not reali - tea
which I know was ages and ages ago, but is a giggle if you have time to go check it out
and she looked at Dir-tea and Hoo- tea
much more likely in a world I live in...
Tranquili- tea and Simplici-tea in my house would become
Calami-tea and Complexi-tea
Sinceri-tea would be Rari-tea
Sereni - tea would be Instabili- tea
and Prosperi-tea would become Hilari-tea
or maybe yeah right - tea...
okay that one doesn't fit
And while I am a bit of a roll a few more could be
Dus-tea... Insani-tea... Stupidi-tea...
I think any of these labels would make me happier
as then I wouldn't have to work to achieve them
I wouldn't be given a bad case of the inadequates
when I sit down to a cuppa
I wouldn't be reminded of my shortcomings
I could smugly look at a mug and see unpredictabili-tea
and be totally comforted and reassured
which is just what I need as I embark on the AEDM madness
and linking up with Sunday Sketches as well
because it is one of my favourite parts of the week....xx
My last two posts have been ...

I am imagining a sketch of that new line of mugs all tumbling merri-ly.
Given the adversi-tea and anxie-tea I am currently facing, your abili-tea to make me smile with your migh-tea talent is definitely appreciated!
The cups themselves may not be your cup of tea, but your drawing of them is simply brilliant! I love it!
xo

p.s. I am so glad we share an affini-tea for absurdi-tea... Thank you for including me in this nif-tea post! (Your post is actually better than "nifty", but I wanted to use another tea pun, and that was all that was coming to mind! Ha!)
LOVE this post and I give it a
hear-tea (hearty - looks weird) endorsement!!
BTW - My husband says that all this could become "tea-dious" - HAR HAR!!
That is why I keep that man - he cracks me up!
oh my gosh thats good!!! Love this and of course the beautiful art work too!
That's a lovely Piece of Work.
with some pinch of humor in it.
Take a look at mine ..

life is not always so ZEN-ful
love your fun take on tea and bliss...
Okay, confession. I actually like them. (I know. I know.) Can't help it.
AS always, I adore, adore, adore your paintings. So lovely.
Michellem: LOL, your husband is hilari-tea!
I love the colours, nice work with these teacups!
The more ancient among us could use a senili-tea too :) They're really little senior's moments.
I love chai too. Do you?
Well Tracey it's all this absurdi-tea
that forces me into the arms of my full bodied aromatic friend coffee, void of all these numerous hang ups!!
Love the sketch...excellent humorous post!! As always, YOU ROCK!! The mugs are pretty creative and cute!!
Hugs Giggles
It's early and not enough caffeine drunk yet to come up with any wit-tea comments.
Nice sketch, hilarious words as usual, and thanks for the mention. It's nice to be different ;)
Nevertheless, I do admire your superiori-tea.
Love it...it's completely Nut tea... :)
I read with much hilari-tea but also perplexi-tea for by now (adding in all the comments) there are no new puns left for me - it looks like the majori-tea got there before me. It's all bit too dot-tea!
I love the jolli-tea of this post...very amusing indeed-i-tea.
I now need a cuppa after all that:)
xx
How about a bit-o-BEau-tea?!
xoxo
loved the link, too.
I, too love Kristin's humor.
cheers, dana
You are completely nut-tea!
In a totally good way!!!!
You do make me smile :)

I'm with Em...I like them! And I LOVE your sketch of them. Nif-tea!
Really nice sketch, love the colors! Trying really hard not to continue the comments insane-tea... oops
You did it again. You are SOOOOO my cup of tea. Thanks for the laughs and smiles! ~ kath
Hahahaha I totally agree!
~Donna~
I think you've captured the whimsy to a tea and for sure beau-tea-fully! I know I say this every time, but I LOVE your work!
Fun post! Love the drawing!
i'm not going to be able to look at words that end with -ty (-tea) the same way again.
i like the white cups with the colorful insides even if they are not quite as zen-like as intended! :-)
I love those cups! It would fun to drinking out of them...maybe the pun version even more than the real ones!
hilarious, and i love your cute sketches!
I love the hilary-tea of your observations, as well as your artwork! I could use an insani-tea mug at times!!
Great post!
Oops - I should have written hilari-tea!
Oh, well, just my stupidi-tea!
Lovely shoes I agree the tea cups are corny but the colorful insides are nice.
enchanTEAing
OOOOh what a beautea! Hugs ManonX
Beautiful tea cups ~ well illustrated even if you didn't like them ~ (A Creative Harbor) ^_^
Hahaha, you are totally nut-tea! That's why we love you so much and keep coming back. But I DO want the simplici-tea cup...maybe if I drink from it daily it will solve some of the complexi-teas I keep creating for myself?
Love it, but my Instabil-tea cup would have to hold a big jolt of coffee.
BEAU----TEA------FUL! ;) I LOVE this idea. Well done, as always. Hugs
I guess this is the place to come for smiles today. Thank you!
Cute tea cups. They're like cheerleaders in a pyramid.
I love this post. I thought it would be fun to come up with some clever tea words, but then I would have to think. It is more fun to take in your art and words instead.
You are a riot. Thanks for the chuckle.
Your art is so charming! I love tea too. I think I would have missed the irony of the tea cup titles though without your clever push. I love, love, love your shoes paintings. I am so glad you bought them, I really enjoyed the art you did with them.
You made me grin from ear to ear :)))) What a cool painting and posting!
Oh my reaction was just opposite to yours, i immediately wanted sereni-tea, funny how People see things so differently and yet i love your post, made me laugh as always... What about serendipi-tea? That wouldn't put any pressure on the drinker at all and could be fun!
Haha! you are hilirious!
FranTea xo
:))
Oh! And there are the shoes!! xoxo
Love your work.
I love how you bring angles to everything you see through your writing and your art.
it was such a beau-tea! :D
i liked you red-ish shoes too.. very very pre-tea! :D
I was chuckling all the way through this one! I went and looked at all Kristin Dudish's hilarious tea bags, too. :):)
