Thanks to my now-regular stalking of the Carrollton Goodwill store, I am one Christmas teapot ahead for the holidays. I found this 1992 House of Lloyd musical teapot for $2.52, which I thought was a mighty fine price!
With the turn of a switch on the back of the 6-1/2-inch tall teapot, the little mice start dancing and rocking around the table, all to the tune of "We Wish You a Merry Christmas." The light above the table doesn't work, alas, and the battery compartment appears to be superglued shut, but I am OK with that considering the price I paid!
This "Holiday Hideaway" is a fun addition to my Christmas collectibles, and what a bargain. A friend who bought some postage stamps this week was surprised to be handed a sheet of *poinsettia* Christmas stamps, yet another reminder it's never, ever too early to shop for Christmas!
How adorable! And it was just waiting for you to come find it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful addition to your Christmas tea-themed collection, and the price can't be beat! When I was in Sam's Club earlier this week, I noticed they have Christmas displays out already.
ReplyDeleteSo fun!
ReplyDeleteAlways the treasures! How do you do it?

How cute! I've also been keeping an eye out for tea-themed Christmas decor at the thrift shops.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun find.
ReplyDeleteI think I need to start giving Christmas a thought or two.
Cute. I wonder if a battery exploded and that's why the door won't open. If so and if you get it open you may be able to clean the compartment with alcohol and qtips.
ReplyDeleteThat was a fun bargain find to add to your Christmas collection.
ReplyDeleteque lindo
