Today me and Shannon went to the Goodwill in Portland. Jeremiah's mom always has good luck finding great things there when she would visit, and we were lucky too, to come away with a few great items. (See Shannon's blog, i am sure she will post too about her finds too :)
Anyway, one of my finds was this really pretty teapot...unfortunately it didn't have a lid, but I still loved it. When I got it home, I noticed the HALL stamp on the bottom. This led to some investigation about the teapot. It ends up that it is a collectable teapot. Perhaps not worth a great deal, especially without the lid, maybe 30.00-50.00, but could be from as early as 1930. I found a fun website online of HALL teapot fans who had pages of teapots from a 1935 catalogue and mine is the french style, 2cup in canary. This kind of stuff really interests me. I wonder if someone in 1930 enjoyed a morning cup of tea in this exact pot I will now use as a lovely decoration. Fun to ponder.....
So pretty

That's pretty fun! It really is a cute teapot. But it won't keep your tea very warm... Maybe you could plant flowers in it or something. No?
Ya, i think I will store something in it....flowers likely :)
