A spot of tea

Today I'd like to share this cute vintage tea pot I found a few weeks ago at a local thrift shop. I haven't been JUNKIN' since. It's been well over a month since the last time I went junkin'. I feel as if the world of vintage cast offs is passing me by! If I did have some extra time right now to go shopping I don't have the storage space. Well, I do have the storage unit in the driveway( hummm that's a thought) but, that is packed with everything that was downstairs. Maybe I could find a little room in there!
So, back to this very PINK little Tea Pot. The roses are hand painted ( I think) and the overall condition is in good shape. There is some crazing but, I like that on old china I feel that's what tells the story of time. I wonder how many afternoon teas where poured from this PINK pot? and how many good stories were told? I wish for days like that, the kind of days where we can just pour out all our troubles and have them "fixed" from a simple cup of tea.
Once we are back to normal around here I have an antique tea cart project waiting for me. The tea cart, this tea pot and my tea cups will make a very cute vignette. I'm thinking about doing a mosaic on the tea cart...
Enjoy PINK Saturday please visit Beverly at How Sweet the Sound and all the other lovely bloggers posting PINK.

Blessings,
Marie

Oh that teapot is gorgeous! So dainty! I hope you do the mosaic project. I would love to try mosaics but have forced myself to not take on yet another hobby! Happiest of Pink Saturdays to you!

Your teapot is lovely. I miss when I can't go looking around thrift stores. I went today, and enjoyed looking and looking. The hunt is my favorite part.
