Cottage Teapot Love


A few weeks ago I shared my vintage
 English Cottage Prints.
Well, my love of "cottage" doesn't stop there.
I have a little collection of Cottage teapots,
 sugars and creamers,
candle holders and cookie jars,
that I've been collecting for about 20 years.




Some are vintage and some are newer.
Most of them are on my baker's rack in my
Cottage Garden sunroom.






The vintage ones are all made
in Japan before World War II.
The newer ones are imports,
but I just love their look.


























I'm linking with
"Show and Tell Friday"


Favorite Things Friday



And "My Favorite Things" with

Bargain Hunting and Chatting with Laurie



Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Love,
Debra

    I love them!! I have a small collection packed away...I think you've inspired me to find a home for them. Your cookie jars are very sweet.

    Hi Debra:
    I love your cottage ware (first photo). I have an entire set that was a gift from my mum. It's all just so "friendly" looking. Thanks for sharing all of your pieces. They're really wonderful!

    Debra, your collection is charming. I stopped by Good Will today to see what I might find, and came home with a little cottage teapot. There were lots of pieces on the shelves. I think they were canisters and perhaps a sugar and creamer. I was looking specifically for teapots for a table I'm planning. If you want me to go back tomorrow to check on any of these for you send me an email. Would be happy to do it. :-)

    Love these. I have a teapot that would fit in beautifully with this collection! This inspires me to perhaps add to my collection. Very relaxing looking sunroom.

    Hi Debra,
    Girl, you have such an amazing house, so many beautiful collections. Love the teapots. I also love the new banner! Everytime I come over there is a new one, even more awesome than the last! Lisa
    PS Don't sweat it over the package, I'll get it one day when I least except, it'll be like Christmas.

    Good gravy woman...how large of a butler's pantry do you possess? You have some of the most amazing collections...you and Laura of White Spray Paint. I'm always in awe of the two of y'all. Love the cottages!

    OK.
    I've met my match.
    Your collections are amazing.

    Oh well, have a good weekend.
