This odd little fellow was advertised on Ebay as a hippopotamus teapot but once I got it I wasn't quite sure if that is indeed what it is. I got it for $5 so it was a bargain but still---what do YOU think it is? Maybe hippos look differently in Nepal? All guesses are appreciated. :-) She raised her hand to cut me off. "I am aware of your epistolary flirtation. Which is all well and good--as long as it's well and good. Before I ask you some questions, perhaps you would like … [Read more...]

Today I am a basket case. Or rather--my teapot is a basket case. How adorable is this unique and detailed basket teapot recently added to the collection from my favorite eBay seller? I am not sure how well it will actually pour as there has obviously never been a pot of tea brewed in it. I think it might pour a bit awkwardly but the cute factor makes up for that in my humble opinion. When the news reporter said "Shopkeepers are opening their doors bringing … [Read more...]

This cute teapot came from Ebay from my sweet seller whose mom had the massive collection. Who could resist this pastoral themed Sadler teapot? Not me! It is a lovely teapot which has never had a pot of tea brewed in it. I need to change that! One of the shining moments of my day is that when, having returned a little weary from an afternoon walk, I exchange boots for slippers, out-of-doors coat for easy, familiar, shabby jacket, and, in my deep, soft-elbowed … [Read more...]

I recently found a lovely woman on Ebay from Virginia who is listing her mother's collection of teapots bit by bit. Several communications have gone back and forth between us and it seems her mother is in a nursing home and they are downsizing collections and household items. While that makes my heart a little sad I have promised her that her teapots will definitely have a good home where they will be loved and featured. This is one of the first ones I purchased. Just in time for … [Read more...]

Been trying to spruce up the old blog page so bear with me while I reconfigure and find a theme that I like. I think this one is not going to work but I will give it a few days. The part I like about this theme is that I can put my own picture as the header so today I chose a picture from Toolakea Beach in Queensland. A favorite place to go and a lovely spot to sit and relax. So as you may know I have had a couple things happen to me lately with Ebay purchases. The latest thing is that … [Read more...]
