This week, I had a great time at my local charity store. However, I didn't find any handbags or coin purses worthwhile bringing home. There were a lot of the same ones there from last week; so I didn't buy anything from that section of the store. And the clothes didn't interest me either; they weren't in my style or size.
But, it wasn't until I walked around the homewares area that I found what I thought was real gem. A lovely large teapot - a white one - with beautiful fruit and flowers painted on it. I turned it over and found it was made in Thailand. Now, a lot of teapots are made in China and the UK; but I haven't come across one made in Thailand. This one was a very big one; and I didn't know until I returned home and used it that it was a six-cup one. How wonderful! The only drawback is that it drips; but I can fix that with a bit of plastic hose fitted to lip which I borrow off my late-Grandma's old teapot until I find a permanent piece for it.
