Hi there to all my blog friends,
Sorry for taking so long to come back to you, but here is a treat for ONE of you who leaves a commet for me on this post before Monday morning, that will give every one a chance to come and check it out. I will have one of my kids draw a name on Monday after school.
I went to a garage sale one day where this lady had a whole box of silverplate and I really wanted this little teapot, and was ready to pay like $10 for it, and she said to me ,"You can have it ALL for $5", I was like :0 and said thank you very much, and drove home very happy.
Since there was 2 teapots in there, I will share with my friends, and give one of them away, together with a parcel of all my favorites vintage stuff, and treats I picked up at the French General.
The teapot does have a tiny whole in the button, so it will have to be for pretty looks only, with dryed flowers in it or just for display, like I will use mine, hope you will like it as much as I do.
Thanks to all of you who stop by here and leave a litte note, it is always so much fun to come home and have a little message frome near and far.
Hugs to all of you
Helle
What a gorgeous little teapot! Thanks for brightening my day with pretty pix :)

I've wondering where you have been. The end of school is rather busy. Friday is the last day for my daughter so I'm out tying up "nonfun" loose ends. I hope my name is draw.

Oh wow! What a beautiful teapot and such a bargain! I love the lines of the teapot - the handle is gorgeous; very Art Deco-ish.
I have a teapot collection and this little beauty would sure make a nice addition to it (shamelessly hinting.....)
What a treasure hunter you are! Wowza! :)

You found a box full of treasures! On a blog I was poking around in a while back, I saw they had put a spool of thin ribbon into the pot and had it coming out the spout...just thought I'd share that just incase you'd like to do that with your extra one lol :-)
