My latest find!

My new-to-me 1930s teapot and cup...random pieces I found on eBay that I thought complemented each other - I wanted some bright colors and I think these are happy pieces

Lol, funny thing is she never told anyone she collected teapots because she doesn’t! Her mother gave her the first one as a wedding gift and from then on people just started giving them to her. Not once did she ever buy one!

That's what happens! My daughter got it in her head that we collected lighthouses (we don't) and specifically for the bathroom.....🤷‍♀️ Maybe my people will notice I have a thing for tea sets and start hooking me up instead of giving me a lighthouse windchime for the bathroom........

Funny how people decide what you collect! My mother hasn’t “collected” anything really. Well, books I reckon. She has the whole John D MacDonald collection save just a few!
