No, no, no –not that kind of lighting up! Lighthouses are one of my favorite things to go see when we are on an adventure and I have several large lighthouse teapots in my collection. It seems right that when I unpacked that long lost box of miniature teapots when I was preparing for the move that I found a cute little lighthouse set. A quick peek at the teapot itself shows a tiny lighthouse poised just ready to pour an imaginary cup of tea. And just look at those tiny windows.
Even though a drink out of the cups is impossible I love the detail that this set boasts.

Leave a commentOh, how sweet!!! You should definitely plan a trip to the Outer Banks: several lighthouses there. And we’d meet you and take you to see horses. They’re just past Corolla Lighthouse!
You know that trip will happen sooner rather than later, right? We have been to quite a few of the Outer Banks Lighthouses but I am always ready to go back to see any lighthouse again. I hope we can make a trip this fall after we get settled. Gotta meet you in real life!
Very cute. I’m a lighthouse lover, too.
I knew we had a lot in common! 🙂
I also love lighthouses and this little tea set is the tops! Will you have a spot to display your miniature sets in your new house? It would be a shame to put them away in a box again.
I will have to figure it all out when I get moved in. Not sure. I may have to trade things in and out—-I have a feeling my collection is growing too large to be displayed and I would rather have the house be neater so we will see. Chris told me I have to count as I unpack them…..
The variety of designs in your teapot collection continues to amaze me.
🙂 I might be a hoarder of teapots.
This one is very whimsical. I love how they are all enclosed in their own moats in the ocean.
There are just so many fun ways to create teapots. The sky is the limit!
They probably put salt in the tea for these
I had a friend growing up who collected mini tea sets like this one. This one is adorable!
Thanks! I think it is pretty cute with the details.
These reminded me of a couple of friends who used to collect lighthouse souvenirs while living. (He was still doing some outdoor work at 89. Are lighthouse lovers generally healthy people?)
That is a good question! 89 is a pretty amazing age to be still doing outdoor work!
Very artistic.
🙂
I really like this set. I love lighthouses. We have visited many on Lake Michigan and Lake Superior. I would love to see all of the Great Lakes light houses.
There are a lot of lighthouse lovers out there. Have you been to the Marblehead one by Lakeside, Ohio? That is my all time favorite lighthouse because we go to Lakeside every year. There are times when you can go up into it as well which is pretty cool.
I too love lighthouses and this tiny set is adorable.
Thanks! It is one of the cutest little lighthouses I have ever seen. I have found a lot of others who love lighthouses like we do. They are all os different and that is wha draws me in.
I love light houses! The set is so cute!
Thanks. It was fun to rediscover all of my cute little sets before we packed up.
Your little light house’s are really special.. I think all of our family likes light houses.
I am pretty sure you are correct on that one. Seems like we all like to go see them especially the Marblehead one.
this one is so sweet!! I’d definitely have this one on display in my house. it’s just darling!! (wait… is that a type of tea? did I just tea pun? ha)
Hahahahahaha! You are too witty for me.
Sweet! Stop by on your way to the outer banks, we’ll take ya’ to lunch! 😉
That is a date!
