We had a slow day on my birthday (after all I'd been celebrating in one way or another for a week.)
We dropped some things off at GW and decided to pop in. You just never know what you'll find. The Gardener has a sharp eye. I had made my round of the dishes and saw nothing interesting. Then I noticed above the crowds (The Gardener, at 6'6" is always findable in a crowd or a store) that my beloved was studying something in the dishes section. I rushed over to pull him away saying, "There's nothing of interest here." Apparently new stuff had just come out.
There she was. $5 and perfect.
I love her "aerial" view. And have learned the best time to shop at GW is when the new stuff comes out. If you know when that is.
(We found one other gem, but that's for another post.)
This is beautiful! You have such a gift of finding these kinds of things. I just love it! Look forward to seeing you soon!
ReplyDeleteIf you've just been celebrating for a week, you have three more to go. Enjoy it all! What a beautiful find. I dropped stuff off at Goodwill yesterday and never looked back. Next time I'll go in.
ReplyDeleteBest,
Bonnie
Very nice! I love the teapot. Happy birthday wishes to you too! I hope you've enjoyed your week long celebration. I like your new header as well. Have a great day!!

Beautiful! I just love it when I find a special treasure...especially a surprise find like that.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty. Every cup of tea will taste richer, better, from that pretty pot.
ReplyDeleteIt seems I missed your birthday while I was enjoying the real world last week, Belated Happy Birthday, love the teapot :)
ReplyDeleteThe pot is SO pretty!! Great find. I read on Yahoo that donations to Goodwill are at an all time low...people not so ready to part with things or perhaps selling them on their own. Makes me want to clean up my clutter a bit {and hopefully others will, too!!}
ReplyDeleteHappy Belated Birthday!!
XO,
Jane

ReplyDeleteWow, that's a beautiful teapot Podso and will come handy when a few friends are over for tea. Maybe you should bake your hubby a nice treat for finding such a great treasure?

What an amazing find indeed. I have been in love with the pink/red transfer-ware since my aunt's kitchen served up Italian specialties on them when I was a child. Your husband did good!
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a wonderful birthday...Happy Be-lated Birthday wish for you and a blessed year to come!
What a find!! I love the top view!
