If you ever visit my home, you will quickly see that I have a great love for teapots and teacups. I have them displayed throughout my house. They give a very cozy, warm feel and seem to fit well in my Victorian decor. I put this teapot in home decor, because it was strictly designed as a decorative item, and not to be used with hot tea.It is a beautiful porcelain teapot with lavender roses...
This beautiful teapot on a pedestal was a wedding gift to my mom and dad in 1942. It is actually part of an entire set of china. Chintz china originated shortly after India began to export beautiful floral fabrics to England called "chintes" in India. It was so admired that it became "all the rage" in English tableware. These days, chintz china is highly collectible.I love m...
My hubby and I love to drink tea, but not always at the same time. We drink many different kinds of loose leaf tea so we use a tea (or coffee) press to make 2 or more big mugs of tea. It gets a little annoying to use a big press for just one cup, so when my hubby found this small teapot he just had to get it. This pot is made of glass with a plastic handle, lid, and infusing press. The glass te...
One Christmas my brother-in-law gave me a Thomas Kinkade Cottage Teapot as a gift, knowing how much I like "The Painter of Light". This teapot is really lovely. It came with six tea bags of blueberry tea. I have to admit that I have left it in its original package because I am keeping this teapot strictly as a collectible. It really is a very lovely piece and w...
I grew up with the Pillsbury Doughboy, the cute little guy that Pillsbury uses to advertise their products. I collect some Poppin Fresh memorabilia, and I purchased this little teapot from the Pillsbury website a while back. I'm not certain what I paid for it, but I know you can find it occasionally on eBay for a pretty good price.This is strictly a collectible for me, I have hi...
My personal china is Old Country Roses, which is a blend of yellow, pink, and burgundy red roses with greenery on a white background. But my next favorite choice would have to be Moonlight Rose! What a dreamy, gorgeous china this is. I am reviewing a Moonlight Rose teapot that I purchased at Marshalls, for the phenomenal price of $29.99. That just doesn't happen for a large, Royal...
My daughter just comes up with the greatest little Christmas gifts that she knows I will love, don't cost a fortune, and that I will treasure as there's usually a story behind them. If you've read my reviews you know I collect Polish Pottery as my dinner and cookware. Recently I was sick with the flu and about the only thing I could keep down was some tea...
Every summer around July, our city holds a side-walk sale in the center of town. All the shops in the area participate and fun is held by all. The consumer not only get to enjoy the foods offered, but, they also get to purchase various items at a great price. The vendors hold this sale each year mostly to get rid of old inventory to make room for newer stuff. I attended ...
This decorative ceramic piece has been in my possession for six years. I use it when I'm making tea or coffee. I'll put a used tea bag on it until I'm ready to dispose of it. Another way I use it is as a spoon rest. When I'm done stirring in my cream or mixing my sweetener in, I'll put my spoon on there.I love how powerfully colorful this is! It definitely adds a heavy dose ...
