Several of you have asked me repeatedly how many teapots I have.  I have still not counted although I suspect the number of teapots is upwards of 250.  I might be surprised if I counted them all.

Many of you have also asked where I keep all of my teapots.  Well, they are mainly housed in the dining room and entry way in china cabinets and on a massive buffet but you can also find them creeping into other areas of the house. I have them on the mantel, in bookcases, in my office, and even in the bathrooms.  Right now I have my Christmas ones stored to put out later but my fall themed teapots are hanging out on bookcases in the living room.

Here are a few pictures to give you a glimpse inside my house.

A tiny look in at the china hutch in the dining room.

Close up of the china hutch. It is pretty maxed out but there is still a bit of room on top. 🙂

The antique buffet that Chris’s dad refinished holds most of my red teapots.

The entry way houses another antique that holds some of my most special teapots and teapot sets.

The living room features the rustic teapots on the mantle and some of the fall themed ones sprinkled around on the bookcases for good measure.

I have a few more stored in the cabinets in the kitchen that are my brewing pots and a few more stored in the hutch bases as well as a baker’s rack full in my office.  Yes, there are a few but I am always excited when someone gifts me one or when I find another that is perfect to add to my collection.

One day I will count and inventory them all.  One day. But for now I will just enjoy them and continue to share them with you on Teapot Tuesday.  Next week I will share yet another one that has not been featured on It’s Just Life before.  Come back and make sure to leave a comment for Comments for a Cause. 

Though I cannot flee
From the world of corruption,
I can prepare tea
With water from a mountain stream
And put my heart to rest.
