Lekker!

Oilily Teapot

Tuesday, November 27, 2007

After lusting over it forever, I finally laid my manicured hands on this beauty. I can't tell you how faint I felt with all the blood rushing through my head while queuing up at the cashier. Ilsa, my stone cow, approves too.

This whimsical looking confection is specially designed by Oilily (incidentally a Dutch fashion company) for Douwe Egberts, the tea and coffee specialist. Although available online, nothing beats going into the store proper and fondling the various teapots, cups, and what not in real life.

Anyhow, there were only two Oilily teapots on the shelf and faster than you can say 'Oi', I made a grab for one. And two tea cups. And two saucer thingamajigs for teabags, cookies, chocolates.

Oi.
