I only posted about the Secret Post Club yesterday, but I have another one to do today because I had May's gift arrive this week.
Someone said something about toilet humour, so I thought perhaps I would put it in the bathroom to read when I'm otherwise engaged?
It's a beautiful gift, which I will treasure immensely, and was clearly very well thought out by the delightfully sweet Laura, over at Are We Nearly There Yet Mummy.
I obviously had no idea who my gift was coming from, but I suspected I might have a tiny clue when I saw the label slapped on my box.
The lovely Laura and I had had many a discussion on baskets of fruit on twitter, wondering what makes an effective basket of fruit, and whether we would be able to get a basket of fruit from our respective partners.
One of the gifts inside took my breath away.
It's a teapot.
Made to look like a Basket of Fruit.
See the beautifully protruding banana? Isn't it admirable?
Although Laura drew my attention to the touching plums. Personally, I couldn't take my eyes off the protruding spout. I thought the hole at the end was rather large.
And was also a little nervous that the tip looked a bit crusty brown. But that's ok, I'm not too fussy, I think.
Needless to say, I was keen to give it a test run, and see if that spout could pour it's juices out of the large hole like every good large spouted teapot should.
Since we rarely drink tea here, I had to fill it with an alternative hot creamy liquid, so as to fully appreciate it's abilities.
I chose my favourite mug; I call it "The Pussy", for obvious reasons. And for this Basket of Fruit teapot, it seemed completely fitting. I was pleased that the spout poured hot fluids into "The Pussy" really well, although I was a tad distracted by the growing bush creeping in over the spout.
I must have been a little in too much awe of the hot spouting creamy fluids into "The Pussy" because looking at the picture now, I see there was a little spillage. See it? That tiny little dribble on the bottom? I would have licked that drop off, but I don't much care for the taste of creamy fluids in my mouth, so there's creamy mess all over my surface.
I'm thinking I might accessorize it, but I obviously don't want to hide it's sheer beauty. And, as if this gift wasn't enough, Laura was most kind to send me a little book to read, perhaps while I indulge The Pussy with hot creamy fluids.
Someone said something about toilet humour, so I thought perhaps I would put it in the bathroom to read when I'm otherwise engaged?In any case, I'll just say a huge THANK YOU to Laura for my beautifully innocent gifts and go back to admiring them in all their glory.
