It is almost Tuesday again, and I am joining the Tea Gang over at T Stands for Tuesday hosted by Bleubeard & Elizabeth at Altered Book Lover! As you know we recently moved to the other side of our town, so I am getting to know this side. I still take wrong streets and end up going the long way to the doctor or a store, because of course, we got all new on this side. So, that is how I found The Art Park!
I never knew it existed. And you notice it right away with all those colorful pianos! And I am thinking, what a great way to use old pianos that can't be used any longer!
I want to go to school there!
How could I live in this town most of my life and have never seen this?
And since I am supposed to have a drink related post, here is the first teapot I ever bought; the one that started it all. I bought this back in 1995 in Estes Park, Colorado. My collection grew quickly from that point on, until I had to tell people quit giving me teapots! LOL They take up too much room!
The whole family stayed in this cabin for a week, like a mini family reunion.
I LOVE the art park, what a wonderful idea! Lovely photo of you with your grandchild, you have some fantastic tea pots. Happy T Day, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteSharon another lovely teapot! What a great park and all those amazing coloured pianos, I especially love the one with all the other instruments sticking out of it and the drum kit too. I have seen something similar to that library but I can’t remember where, that will be going round in my head now until I remember!
ReplyDeleteHave a great Tuesday,

OMGosh. I am also in shock. I never knew about the Art Park either until you mentioned it. Now I must find it, too. It sounds like a great place to leave your old instruments (grin). Actually, I want to meet the Bug Lady. Sounds like a great place. SO glad you found it.
ReplyDeleteThat's a fabulous first tea pot. It is beautiful. Once someone becomes aware you own something, you start getting inundated with them. It's a thoughtful gift and one that people know you will accept. Unfortunately I can't give any of my rocking horses away because they are my babies. I can understand (I think) how you could be overwhelmed with tea pots, but I'd be hard pressed to get rid of any. I certainly LOVED the photo of you and your granddaughter. It was perfect tea party. Thanks for sharing it with us for T this Tuesday, as well as Art Park, too.
BTW, that's the real fun of T Tuesday. Even though it's a cyber meeting we all spend the day catching up on each other's lives and drinks. It's a fun day where there are no real expectations, but real camaraderie.
wow this piano park is amazing and charming-so love it!! that was worth going the wrong direction for sure.
ReplyDeleteI love the first tea pot you shared-is it from Japan by any chance-and also in the last photo-I love tea pots too but they definately take up allot of space
thanks for sharing Happy T wishes Kathy
Tea parties with your granddaughter must have been fabulous. I wonder if you kept this pot-but I image the picture of just the pot is a new one. I don't think I could get rid of it if it was the first one or if it had so many fun memories. And the art park sounds cool and like you I would want to go to school there also. Learn something new and fun. Hope you have a wonderful T day and stay cool. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteIt must be fun exploring and making new discoveries, and that's a cool Art Park! The pianos look fabulous in all their bright colours 😁. They reminded me a piano in a public garden nearby which has been planted, it also has a panel of urban art (butterflies) on the back, it looks so pretty! The little library and school are fabulous and I adore your teapots! Such happy memories too, how lovely to have tea parties with your grandchildren 😀. Happy T Day! J 😊 x

ReplyDeleteHappy T day!
That Art Park looks like an amazing find! It looks like they offer so many different things to learn. HOw FUn! And all those brightly colored pianos are so cool!
ReplyDeleteI always love when you share your tea pots. And I love the picture of you and your granddaughter enjoying a tea party! I bet she will always have these amazing memories of your too doing this.
Happy Tea Day, Sharon!
Kate
these pianos just look fantastic - in all the colors of the rainbow!
ReplyDeletehappy t-day:)
What a fun discovery, Sharon. I'd sign up for the first three listed classes in a NY minute. What is it they say about residents and tourists? Something about the tourists see all the sights that the residents don't. That's a great park.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet tea party photo of you and your granddaughter.
It's really nice getting to know you at tea ;-)
Happy T-day! Hugs, Eileen
That art park is such a great idea! It looks like they offer a lot there. It's fun to explore :) Happy T Tuesday
ReplyDeleteI love the Art Park, it looks a gem of a place to discover for the first time.
ReplyDeleteThe photos all looked great.
I also think your tea pot looks wonderful and it looks like you have a memory of a special occasion to remember it by.
Happy T day

The Art Park looks so cool. I love the rainbow pianos. This place looks like a great place to take classes. The teapot is so cute and I love the doily, too. Adorable to have tea parties with your granddaughter. And that teapot is sweet, too. Make me think of having tea with my Auntie. Happy memories. Hope your granddaughter remembers the tea parties, too
ReplyDeleteI am loving your enthusiasm for your new neighbourhood! What finds too! Those classes sound fun! I remember when we moved here from only a few miles away how happy we were to find that we could walk to the next village along the river and that there are bluebells in a wood right alongside the main road! Enjoy your walks, there must be so much to find! Have a great week! Belated Happy T Day, Chrisx
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous park, Sharon! I love all those brightly colored pianos! Isn't it fun to discover something about your town?
ReplyDeleteI have recently heard about that Art Park. Are pianos the only things there right now? That is ingenious!!!
ReplyDeleteHow very enjoyable and positive!
