Rosebud...

Uncle Geoff's inspired Christmas present to James was a rosebud teapot to add to his collection of pottery that looks like fruit or vegetables. Obviously we'll be using it to serve rosehip tea.



The teapot teams up well with Geoff's earlier op-shop-find - a teapot with matching cups and saucers, all made up of bunches of grapes.



Other acquisitions for the collection in 2010 included this red apple cruet set from the op shop in Kohukohu which would tempt Sleeping Beauty...



...and this sweet little pineapple sugar bowl, found in the Foxton op shop...
