If you have followed It’s Just Life for any amount of time you know that I have a teapot collection.
It’s not just any teapot collection, mind you. It is quickly becoming the collection that tops all collections and that is mainly because I have so many friends and family who gift me fabulous teapots.
Recently my sister sent me a box of goodies. We do that every now and then. I usually have a box in my office that I add things to over time that I find that I think Paula would like. Sometimes it is just a box of books I have read and am ready to pass on. More often it contains some scrapbooking items, crafty things, smiley face items, coffee, chocolate or other things I find that make me think of her.
We don’t get to see each other that often and when we do I am often flying so I can’t take things with me. It is always a nice surprise to get an unexpected box of goodies, right? So when I opened the most recent box from my sissy I was thrilled to find a teapot. She has gifted me quite a few over the years but this one is such a cute one, don’t you agree?
This was a teapot used in a Teleflora arrangement and can you believe that I have never gotten a teapot floral arrangement? I have quite a few teapots in my collection that came from various bouquets but I have never received one in an actual teapot. Shocking, I know. 
So tell me – do you like this one? Do you think it would serve up a nice cup of tea? I have yet to brew anything in it but give me time and I will. As always thanks for stopping by It’s Just Life today. Don’t forget to Comment for a Cause.
“As the sky prepares to settle its tired, aching feet
into the night’s velvet slippersI settle, into my armchair, soaking the teabag,
of my thoughts, into warm liquidy stars.”

Leave a commentCute, cute, cute! Like you, many of the teapots in my collection have been gifted to me by family and friends, but I finally told everyone to stop doing so. I’ve run out of space to display them and don’t want to pack them away in storage so…no more for me. I actually have received flowers in teapots – one beautiful one in particular was from my sister. Aren’t sisters the best friends? 🙂
Yes! They are the best friends. I do have a lot packed up but I rotate them in and out these days so it is always a fun new display in my house. But one day I will have to get rid of them and I will have to figure out what to keep and what will go. It is fun to see all the great ones that are out there. Thanks for stopping by!
This is adorable and would serve up a nice cup of tea:)
I agree! Thanks for stopping by! Miss you!
I love that sweet little blue bird. But mostly I love how you and your sister occasionally send each other surprise packages for no specific reason other than you love each other. Now that is sweet.
Thanks, Audrey. It is a fun thing we have gotten into the habit of doing over the years. She used to send me the best packages when we were in Australia with little bits of home included. Loved those!
Love collections and this one is great.
That is adorable! And I love that you and your sister send each other little care packages. My friend and I sort of do that with Christmas “stockings”. We collect little things all year that we know the other will like, and find a neat container: a pretty tote bag or one of those decorative boxes. It’s nice to know someone is thinking of you!
I think this may be the girliest teapot I’ve seen yet, and I’m sure you brew good tea!
This one is very sweet and made even more sweeter because it was a gift from your sister!! You will think of her every time you use it.
This one is absolutely adorable. I love love the detail on the lid — how cute. Definitely one I would use for tea in the garden with a good book. But I’ll have to wait a few months if it were my teapot… unless I like snow with my tea! Or rather IN. ha.
Oh gosh–your weather looks pretty wintery now. Better enjoy inside with a cuppa.
I was just telling my wife Nichole about your impressive tea pot collection. Color us impressed! LOL.
Well I don’t know if it is impressive or just obsessive. But it works for me!
