Kitch-Encounters

I had a little Corningware tea pot when they first came out. Then I sold it at a garage sale years ago. Now I bought one at a garage sale.
Now it's considered vintage.
 What does that say about me?
I love the classic little cornflower design.

(Valentine's Day)
That's the wire heart you've seen in previous posts.
 I wrapped it with a strip of t-shirt fabric from a shirt on it's way to the rags basket. 
I tied on a blue check ribbon.

On the other counter I'm still using my little white painted caddy. 
The I love coffee print.

Cheers!

    I have that teapot with the flowers in orange/green. I'm sure you know what I mean. I'm vintage, too.

    your kitchen is so cute no matter what the holiday! I love the corning ware coffee pot too! I remember having one earlier in my life too... I guess that makes us both vintage!

    Hi Rita, I had to come right over as soon as I saw the teapot on your link picture! I grew up with that pot and my mom STILL uses it everyday! She cleans it with vinegar and it looks like new! Makes good water for tea, too! Linda

    Rita, I love that little tea pot, your story is so funny! I remember those things when I was a kid and maybe my mom had it, who knows, she loved Corning ware...she still has some dishes and pots with lids, from way back!
    I just came from TTT, at Marty's. Have a nice week. Hugs, FABBY

    I'm a baby boomer so I know what you're saying about what is "vintage" - I think it's funny when the younger collectors get excited about avocado green pyrex casserole dishes.
    PS I still have my original cornflower blue teapot and a few casserole dishes.

    I truly try not to think about your statement re: our things being Vintage. Oh my. I still use some of my corning bowls from when we got married (1975). Yep, they're in the malls now as vintage bowls. Love your post!
