It's very cute. Blue and white. Makes 3 cups. Cost me $8.

I'm going to use it right now.



What did you buy?
 
My last purchase was a registration renewal for my snowmachine trailer.
 
Today I went to a garden centre with my mate. We had a cream tea and I bought some marmalade and a rose bush.

I have a small collection of two-cup teapots. It started at the Festival of Britain in 1951 when my eldest aunt bought herself a souvenir teapot made by Swan. She liked Darjeeling Tea. No one else in her family did, so she used her two-cup teapot for herself.

Her niece inherited it and has now passed it on to her daughter who does like Darjeeling Tea.

I bought my own Swan Festival of Britain two-cup teapot. I now have similar ones for the 1953 Coronation, a different Festival of Britain one by another maker, and two of the Swan standard two-cup teapots. My pride and joy is the Swan two-cup teapot for the 1925 British Empire Exhibition.

Very nice, Ogg!

Thank you. I like them.

The picture of the Wembley one is roughly the actual size of the real thing. That one is 1924. Mine is dated 1925.

Unfortunately many of the Wembley ones were melted down during WW2 to make aircraft.
 
I don't have a teapot, but I do have a selection of teas.
I use a little stainless steel mesh tea infuser for loose tea. I also have some silk bags for infusing - got them from an artisan tea store in Melbourne and I use them for fruit teas.
Current stock of tea includes Rooibos, Chilli and Cacao, Cinnamon, White Pear, Earl Grey, Rosehip, and Green Tea with Lemongrass.

White Pear sounds lovely.
 
Some craft supplies at Jo Ann's for the kid to make some posters. I got suckered into the ink stamp aisle.
 
12-inch tuna melt with provolone and bacon from Subway.

May not sound like much, but the fact that it was my first solid food in about 36 hours following my 10-year colonoscopy made it (and the lack of any polyps) rather special.

Tasty and, best of all, it's still in there. :)
