    T Tuesday: treasure edition

    Today for T stands for Tuesday hosted by Elizabeth, I won’t be sharing a steaming cuppa anything… But I will share my brand spanking new teapot!!

    Isn’t it pretty!?!

    teapot

    And here’s the kicker…I got it at Goodwill! Look it still has the sticker on the bottom. Can you believe it! When I saw the Le Creuset on the lid I knew it was a steal and I’d be taking it home with me.  I have a vintage Le Creuset Dutch oven almost this exact color that I found at a garage sale about 13 years ago. I didn’t even blink at the $7 price tag. Score…that Dutch oven now retails for $350. Of course, mine is aged and weathered or shall we say…well seasoned.

    le creusetI happened to have a 25% off coupon to use as well. Oh yea…love them coupons!

    goodwill treasureI was also able to find a few other treasures…like more yarn and rubber stamps. Like I really needed more but I have a hard time passing them up. The tart tins I think I’ll alter in some way…maybe make ornaments from them??

    Grocery shopping is on my list today as well as knitting group and visiting my mom.

    What are doing today??

     A couple of curious crystalline fungi have appeared in my landscaping.

    I haven’t decided weather or not to let them be.

    I like the smaller of the two better. (second photo)

    The mushroom cap has a better shape.

    Please excuse the weeding that needs to be done in the mulch. I’ve had a busy week.

    This was yet another project inspired by Pinterest.
