Vintage Thingies Thursday


Well look a here it's Thurs. again, boy I've been half in and half out all week...can't believe it is already Thursday,and that means it's time for vintage Thurs at Colorado Lady's place...
Today the first item I have is a small Aluminum rose color 1 cup teapot. This belonged to my Mom, Mom had this for as long as I can remember, probably since the early 50s, and sits on a shelf beside my sink. The one next to it is one just like it I found at a Thrift Store about a year ago in Natchez, MS. for 2.00. This one is gold color and has the tea basket, where Mom's was lost years ago.

Next I have some more dishes from DH Aunt's house that I was told no one wanted, Well I sure did...
Any how the first is a cute little 6 cup teapot which is just perfect for Easter, it is shaped like a head of lettuce and has cute little Bunnies eating carrots on the front and a little Bunny for the knob on top.

Isn't this just too cute. No way was it going to the dump....
Next is pretty white 6 cup Tea Pot with a Single pink rose on the front and a stem for the handle. Also has a little pink rose bud for the top knob.

Another treasure NOT going to the dump...

Last but not least is the one I think is just lovely, so glad no one wanted this one. It has English Tea Pot Co. on the bottom and small multi color roses or flowers all over it. With gold trim. These are all sitting on top of my cabinets with my Hall's Tea Pots. My 2 Grands are already arguing over who will get them when Granny Dies...lol..hopefully not for along time.
I HOPE YOU ENJOYED MY VINTAGE THINGIES! SEE YOU NEXT WEEK! FOR MORE WONDERFUL VINTAGE THINGIES VISIT COLORADO LADY

  3. Molly, love the aluminum teapots. I have never seen them before. They remind me of the aluminum glasses my mother had. The pink one is my color. You have rescued quite a few cute ones too.

  6. I can't pick a favorite. No way. I love how you have them arranged on the shelves. What a charming display! If those are the sorts of things that get thrown away over there, I'm heading for your dump in the pickup!!!

  11. Hi, I like the rose one best. It's very unique. I couldn't let anything that pretty go to the dump!

  12. Doesn't it astound you that no one else in the family wants these things? Amazing, but as I said on my VTT,"their loss is my gain"!

  22. What darling tea pots (Love you kitchen window shelves), I found a little tea pot like your metal one for a 1.00 at Goodwell, perfect for boiling a little water, that insert would be something neat to have:)

  23. These are so great! I have this horrible luck with teapots. Everyone I buy breaks. I'm actually without one right now except for the one on my stove. So what I'm trying to say is that I'm jealous of your beautiful collection! Love Love LOVE the bunnies...but they would surely meet their end in my hands ;)

  31. What a wonderful collection! You and I share a teapot - the one with the pink rose - mine came with a flower bouquet many, many years ago. Mine is packed away in a box right now as I do not have a safe place to put it. I have been wanting to find a tall narrow cabinet to put in my bedroom to put teapots and cups in. I miss them and it seems senseless to put them in a box. ~Kelly
