After taking some pics this morning I decided to take a walk to the local Goodwill and then tot he supermarket because it was such anice day.
I went into the Goodwill and one of the first things I found was ahand painted fruit coffee pot "Made in England". I thought it was Franciscan.
I browsed a while longer, as I usually do, and I found another inexpensive hand painted teapot and a t-shirt for myself.
As I walked up to get in aline a lady who had been shopping inthere said, "Did you see the other teapot like that one?" as she pointed to the coffee pot. I told her I hadn't and she walked over to the shelf and got it for me and brought it to me. It was the same pattern and another Franciscan piece. In perfect condition.
I took it and thanked her and she asked me if I collect teapots. I told her I sell them online.
She asked me where I sell and I told her Etsy. Then she told me her name and gave me her card. Margaret from Teapittsburgh.com: http://www.pittsburghcuppa.com/
She told me they are going to have a sale and if I wanted I could set up and sell my wares.
She asked my shop name and I told her. And a lady that was with her said, "There's a shop on Sherman? I didn't know that." lol. I told her it was just my online shop name. Margaret said, "It's a clever name.".
When Margaret talked to me she smiled. I liked that. She was a nice lady. And I appreciated her telling me about the teapot.
Anyway, it was a positive experience and one that will probably be profitable for me. I sold one of those teapots a few months ago for a good price. And this one was priced very low.
Time for bed.......
