A new teapot?
How on earth could that happen?
“Smile”
My sister gave me today’s teapot and I love it. I have several other apple themed teapots in my collection but this one is so great. Part of what makes it great is that she rescued it from being sold at her church rummage sale. Someone else could have bought it but she snatched it up for me before the sale opened. Now isn’t that the best sister ever?
I absolutely love it and know that it will always have a special spot in my collection. What’s the saying? One person’s trash is another person’s treasure? Well, I have a treasure now.

Leave a commentHow wonderful of your sister to rescue this teapot just for you. And it is a perfect little pot, sturdy and pretty, just like an apple. I love your display on the embroidered cloth along with the loaf. Would that be an apple loaf perhaps?
It is actually banana bread from some bananas gone bad…you know how quickly that can happen. 🙂 I am always making loaves and putting them in the freezer it seems.
Just another thing we have in common!!
Indeed!
Aw, how sweet!! I know there are lots and lots of folks who automatically think of you when they see a teapot!
Yes. You are right about that. I am both the crazy cat lady and the crazy teapot lady. 🙂
Aren’t sisters great? My sis has gifted me with teapots she found at garage sales. So true that one man’s trash is another’s treasure. And the treasures mean even more when they come from a sister’s heart.
That is a wonderful thing that your sister does the same thing. There are so many teapots out there just waiting for new homes!
What a very thoughtful gesture! So neat to know a little of the history behind it, too. Yes, you will always treasure it among the others. Plus an added bonus is there: dishwasher safe! Yes!!!
It was a pretty nice surprise when i saw her the last time. My collection continues to grow!
An apple a day… Keeps the teapot full. What a cool snag, from your sis, who clearly has your back!
She is a pretty great sister and rummage sales are a great place to find teapots!
Adorable. I like apples and I like tea – it’s a win-win!!! 🙂
It is a win win! I agree!
I love a fun teapot! Put the kettle on. What brand of tea do you drink?
I drink all kinds of tea, Jessie. Trust me. I have a pretty wide variety but my favorite is probably darjeeling.
Apples and tea…I wonder whether people who’ve had to stop dunking doughnuts in coffee like dunking apple slices in tea?
Hmmm—there is something to try!
what a sweet sister.
She is the best!
Your sister had good taste in teapots. Very nice.
Yes indeed! Thanks for stopping by and admiring my newest teapot, Shirley!
This post is making me crave some type of yummy apple bread!
The loaf of bread here is banana but I could totally make some apple and send you some!
