One special lady that I am thankful for is my hubby's dear aunt. She took me under her wing when my own Mother passed away, and sort of became a grandma to my children.
When we were packing up Auntie's house for her move to the ALF, we found this teapot in the top cabinet stuck way in the back. Auntie never drank tea, so it made me wonder if it might have been her mother's pot.
It's not the fanciest teapot, but to me it is beautiful. I know the picture looks a little green, but it is really a pale iridescent yellow on the sides. There are no markings.So for today, even though Thanksgiving has passed, I would love to invite you to a Thanksgiving tea. We can share what we are thankful for along with a spot of tea. I am most thankful for you dear reader. I am encouraged each day when I read your comments.
So let's sit down, pour the tea and visit a while.Please join these lovely ladies and visit their tea parties.

This teapot is lovely in its floral beauty and what it represents for you. THank you for sharing.
Hello Jocelyn,
the tea pot is a wonderful heritage from this lovely Lady. That she tucked it away means that you spared it for someone who would love it. Now you are the one and I hope you will enjoy many sweet teas from this pretty set.
Best greetings, Johanna
Jocelyn, I think the teapot is sweetly fancy. It's such a pretty one - beautiful in design, and the colors and flowers accent it perfectly. How nice to pour tea from it with thanksgiving and memories in your heart.
Enjoy the day,

Hi Jocelyn, I love this story and I love a spot of tea. Your tea pot is a treasure and it brings your Aunt to the table in memory. I wonder if you will ever find out whose tea pot it might be.
Hugs, Jeanne

Your tea pot is lovely, the story is as well. I don't think a person is ever late to celebrate a blessing, thanks for the reminder. Have a wonderful week
I find it's the family treasures found, or passed down that mean the most to us. The teapot is pretty and will bring you wonderful memories of that auntie when you use it.
Thank you for sharing this special teapot with us.
