On Saturday, I found another tea-themed Christmas item at Goodwill, this teapot candleholder. I'm not sure I like that black and white on the handle and spout (it reminds me too much of the Chick-fil-A cow), but I like the shape and the fact that the candlelight will shine through the pierced design on the front at Christmas. Maybe I'll paint the black part gold. Maybe I'll paint the whole thing white.
Maybe I'll just use the bottom to hold a Christmas candle.
All I know is that for 89 cents, I saw a lot of possibility in this piece.
And this old Santa Claus bank isn't tea-related, but he was another recent 99-cent purchase. I've already collected a bag full of vintage Christmas goodies for this year's decor, and I have yet to spend $10, which is just the way I like it. My "stamping" friend Kathy has offered to get me started on making my Christmas cards for this year, and when I have a few of those ready to go, hopefully later this month, I'll feel like I've really made some pre-holiday progress!
Oh, please do enter me! That ornament is darling. As are your other finds. Soon, I hope, (after the 2nd knee surgery in August) I'll be able to get out and do some thrifting again.

ReplyDeleteEnter me. I think the Santa bank looks like one my aunt gave me from home interiors years ago. . .I love the tea ornament. I haven't seen that one before. I like to do a whole tree in tea ornaments. Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteEnter me too!!!! I decorate my Christmas tree with nothing but tea related ornaments and there's always room for one more.

ReplyDeletePlease ENTER ME. It i a perfect day where I live to think of Christmas because it is 95 degrees. I am trying to think positive and remember in December I would love for it to be warmer!

Please enter me. This is adorable. I wish I could find nice things like that at Goodwill.
ReplyDeleteOh, yes, please do enter me for the drawing of the doll ornament. Even at my age I still love dolls in any form. As for the candle holder, I think I'd paint the black on the handle and spout gold, and maybe even the pink band around the top under the lid. I'd really have to think long and hard about painting the whole piece white though. Whatever you decide to do I'm sure you'll enjoy the results.
ReplyDeletePlease enter me. Thank You. The doll is lovely.
