Moss Rose Electric Teapot


I found this pretty little teapot at a garage sale last summer. I just love the little Bluebird that sits on top. These are pretty common because I see them all the time so if anyone wants one let me know. They are always under $5.00. We are supposed to get storms here this afternoon like Spring weather . I just hope there are no tornado's or large hail. the air is really muggy outside. Well we are off to the Dr. today. Roger goes to counseling every Thursday. I can't tell it does any good but if he can be one bit better then I am all for it. Got to go get ready. Evryone have a great day and remember that Angel that sits on your shoulder..........

McCoy Brown Drip


What a surprise yesterday when a friend dropped by and had this wonderful set of McCoy for me. I have a set of Hull brown drip that is almost like it but no McCoy. The teapot and sugar are in perfect condition but the creamer has a chip on the pour spout. we have been having wonderful weather here. I just love the fall but not looking forward to winter. My cousin from Wales is here visiting and she is sending me an antique Brown Betty teapot when she gets home. I have a new one but the old ones are what I want. they started making Brown betty's in the 1600's froma particular kind of clay found only in an area of England. I think it is almost like our Frankoma which is made from clay in Shawnee Oklahoma. I have a Frankoma teapot but it has never been a favorite with me. I guess I just can't get excited with that awful green. roger is feeling a little better i am glad to say but I have really limited his activities and it has seemed to help. Bless his heart he wants to do the things he did twenty years ago. Don't we all ? I hope you all have a wonderful week...... Happy teapot hunting.

Bee'zzzzzzzzzzzz


This little teapot is from Tender Hearts Treasures. I thought it was so cute. Of course it is only big enough for one cup but it goes with all the rest anyway. I have had two teeth that have been killing me. I called every dentist in the book and they can get me in in about two weeks. I swear I think I will pull them myself if they don't quit hurting. My aunt who is kind of weird anyway is having her Thanksgiving dinner this Sat. so everyone will be there. We are all supposed to bring something so I will take my Macaroni Corn Cassarole. This is wonderfull for family gatherings and get togethers.
Preheat oven to 375
In cassarole dish mix the following.
1 cup chopped green pepper
1 cup chopped onion
1 can creamed corn
1 can whole corn
2 cups elbow macaroni
1 small box of Mexican Velveeta Cheese
Stir all ingredients and cook for 45 minutes. Stir one time in the middle of cooking. For a whole meal add smoked sausage cut up to this. It is great.
Hope everyone is doing good. My buddy Linda had her heart cath done and they put a stint in a clogged artrery. She is still getting herself together and on the mend. Bye everyone and Happy Hunting...........

Look What I Found


I got this at an auction last night. I was so excited! My husband wanted to know what I was waiting for and I told him it was a teapot that had my name on it. Can you believe I only had to give $1.00 for it? I am so happy! Later.........

My Favorite Teapot


I have had more compliments on this teapot than any other. All my buying friends want to buy it but so far I have never been that hard up. I bought this at a flea market in Bonham Texas for a little of nothing.It is 10" tall so really it would probally be classified as a coffee pot but now that I own it , it is a teapot. It is the same on each side and has no markings but that is fine with me. We have been so busy going to the Dr. that I haven't had time for anything so this will be a good surprise for those that have been checking up on me. Miss Mish Mash has her heart cath done Friday so everyone say a prayer for her and keep your fingers crossed that she will be alright. I have petitions out every where in the area against these terrible protesters so maybe something will get done. Well I( hope it won't be over a week before I post again but can't promise only will try. Everyone be good and don't forget that Angel that is on your shoulder....
