Sweater Weather

It's my favourite time of year: cozy sweater weather!

 

I don't need another mug, but I just couldn't resist this charming "Sweater Weather" mug from Winners (similar to TJ Maxx stores).

 

 

Can't stop, won't stop buying these adorable teapot sweaters from KnitzbyTamara.

 

My mugs also got some cosy love!

 

These beautiful bespoke mug cosies were made by Tafferty Designs.

Judith did a fantastic job creating my mug cosies inspired by the Eras Tour surprise piano!

Three Thrifted Teapots

It's a new September!

This week, I'm sharing teapots that I thrifted during the last few months.

Teapot #1: This vintage Sadler sunflower teapot was in mint condition and was only $4.55!

 

I was thrilled to finally have a bell-shaped Sadler teapot in my collection!

 

Teapot #2: I initially passed on this Whittard of Chelsea blue starry teapot because it was stained inside. But I couldn't stop thinking about it, so I went back to the thrift store and bought it for $4.55.

 

 

I figured that if I couldn't get the stain out, I could use it for decoration. I soaked the interior with vinegar for a few hours and the stains came out easily. So the teapot looked as good as new!

 

 The teapot also came with a tea strainer.

 

Teapot #3: I hit the jackpot when I spotted sitting on the store shelf this beautiful teapot made by a Canadian potter, Deborah Doran. I've always admired her work at the pottery shows, but I couldn't afford her teapots which sold for $90 CAD.

 

Deborah Doran's teapots are known for their cute little feet, the handle at the front, and the witch hat-like lid. I practically skipped to the cash register when the price tag said that it was only $14.99!
