At long last, I have found an item that's been on my wish list for YEARS: a teapot that can serve 10 cups of tea!
Exhibit A of my lousy bargaining skills.
Me: How much is that teapot?
Church lady: Five dollars...what do you want to pay for it?
Me: [hands over a $5 bill].

Right: The 6-cup Brown Betty teapot by Price & Kensington (Made in England?). 
I love how the pattern features the different types of teas. It matches my coasters.
This tea cozy is sooooooo pretty!

I can't wait to use my 10-cup teapot and tea cozy at our next office tea social!
What finds, first the big teapot and then the cozy. Well done.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great find on the teapot, Margie! It will really be a great piece for your tea socials. The tea cozy is another treasure; good for you! Both are wonderful. Enjoy your week!
ReplyDeleteLove everything about this, even that you paid the full $5 since it sounds like it was a church fundraiser ;)

The teapot will be wonderful for your next tea social, Margie!!! I love the tea cozy, too, with the pretty design. I think $5 was a great price to pay for that large teapot.
ReplyDeleteWOW Margie! You really got a good deal for $5 girl. I would have jumped on that too. Oh had my MIL been with you...which she is in heaven now...she would have said, "how about I give you $3 for it so you can get rid of it? And...they would have let her have it for $3. LOL! Looks like several of us blogging thrifty buddies aced good deals lately. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
ReplyDeleteGreat findings!Such fun!
ReplyDeleteMargie, I'm no good at bargaining either. I'd have just handed over my $5--a bargain! My 10-cup teapot is very old and well-used here for many years. I love it. But I have one that dwarfs it--it holds enough for 20 cups of tea! It doesn't get much use.
ReplyDeleteYou are one lucky girl. First the big teapot and then the cozies to fit. You were in the right place at the right time. Love when that happens.
ReplyDeleteHappy tea drinking, Margie!

Hi Margie :)
ReplyDeleteLucky you to find such a beauty!! I have a huge Brown Betty, but not sure how many cups she holds. Never enough sometimes! Love the PURPLE (so you) cozy. Hope you are well xoxo Wendy
Wow! Great finds! I love my Brown Betty, but a 10-cup would be great for serving guests or a big family.
