Tea Calendar
The Teapot and Tea Calendar for 2009 by Joni Miller with photographs by Martin Brigdale is beautifully done. Each month is graced with a photograph of a table setting of a teapot and savories that is delightful to the eye. In addition there are individual postcards for each month that I enjoy sending to friends throughout the year.

Each picture each month is described in detail to the origin and date of each of the teapots and a caption of information on the art of tea throughout the years. I have purchased many Teapot and Tea Calendars for the last few years as gifts and my friends have saved each of their calendars at the end of the year. A wonderful treat to myself and friends.

Delivers More Than You Would Expect
It seldom happens that a product is even better than what one would expect but these lovely tea calendars are just such a product. They are beautifully designed, gorgeously photographed and user friendly. The date boxes are a good size for those who make good use of their calendars for scheduling while the photographs are exquisite and draw one in for a closer look. For history buffs there is information on the origins of each month's unique teapot and in style they range from the formal to the quirky. I have had many positive comments on my teapot calendars over the last few years and this year have given three of the 2009 version to friends for Christmas gifts.
