Lolly-Dot & Flutterby

by:  Rebecca Bernhard
Once there was a little Ladybug named Lolly-Dot. Lolly was a proper lady, as was her bringing up since a small bug at her mother’s knee. She had a servant’s heart, though quite shy. She was always  baking pies and cakes and treats for her neighbors.  She was a good neighbor. Oh, she liked a good gossip like any other busy bee, but she only wished everyone well, and was thoroughly sorrowful at another’s misfortunes.


Flutterby was her best friend. They had known each other from the beginning. Flutterby’s temperment being at times a challenge for Lolly’s more stable notions. Lolly was definately a homebody. There was no place she would rather be due to her shy nature.She preferred to invite friends in for tea or a quilting, or to have a look at her garden, with which she was always very generous.


Flutterby was somewhat the admired one for her great beauty and not for her ability to keep track of things. She was always forgetting! Sometimes Lolly was quite surprised that Flutterby could find her way back to Lolly’s tree stump. Yet, she would always show up very unexpectedly and without announcement. Lolly didn’t mind really, with Flutterby it was as if they had never been apart. They would pick up their conversation quite easily.

Lolly was interested in Flutterby’s adventures, when Flutty could remember them…..

  • The Magic Teapot Stories

    The stories in this collection are based on the idea from "Emma Lea's Magic Teapot" that the magic is not in the physical teapot, but in the what you can do with it.

    Some of these stories are written by me about my character, Emma Lea. Other stories have been contributed to our monthly newsletter by other writers. Some of them are professional writers, some are adults with tea memories and others are by some of our young readers.

    I want to encourage everyone to write for the joy of this expression of your creativity. And I invite you to share your stories with all the Tea-Zine readers.

    Sincerely, Babette Donaldson
