Many years ago I started a teapot collection.
I would be hard pressed to pick a favorite,
but this one always remains
on display in my cabinet.
I would say it numbers in my top 10!
I can't remember where I got it...
it was on one of my numerous
treasure hunts.
And since I've had it for awhile now,
you can bet that it didn't cost much
as I didn't have much spare change when I
first started collecting!
Then one day, on another treasure hunt
I found a matching teacup!
I couldn't believe it when I saw it!
A perfect match!
This teacup has the sticker on it
from the original owners travels.
It says:
"Santa Claus
House
North Pole
Alaska!"
Both the teapot and the teacup have the
22 kt. gold stamp on the bottom,
but this is the stamp from the teacup:
I love using this set for fall decorating!
I pulled out some gold frames and
pictures I had bought to paint white someday
to add to the display.
But until they are transformed, they make a
great addition to my fall shelf-top!
Along with a pretty white curtain panel,
tied at the top with some vintage lace edging
I picked up last week on a treasure hunt
with my mom!
The key is from Michael's $1 bin!
And the candlesticks came from a resale shop
here in town.
The frame & picture are from garage sales,
which I'm sure didn't cost more than $1 each!
This is how the display started, but it didn't stay this way!
I wanted to share this with you for
and
Stop in later this week when I will show
you the final display...
"Exactly the same, but totally different!"
as my brother always would say!
Have a wonderful week!
Hugs!
