It is quite comfortable on the parlor table...unless it sells!
I am also not attached to this sweet paint by number...
I took it apart to clean the glass and was surprised to find it was painted on a thin canvas fabric. The paint by numbers that I remember were all on a canvas board. Does this mean it is older than I can remember? I am curious, it is not dated...Does anyone have a guess?And another mystery- the bottom of this sweet tea pot says Franciscan , made in Portugal. It looks like Desert Rose ...but not like the tea pot that is shown with Desert Rose...which is not made in Portugal...Is it a knock off?
It sure is cute! I think I am safe with this on ebay because that is one pattern I have never collected...but there is always that first piece that starts a new obsession.....I am not attached....I am not attached...I am not attached.....I am linking up to Rhoda's Your Thrifty Treasures this week!

After awhile, you'll get to the point where you're not attached to everything, but it'll probably never go away completely. I still get attached to stuff. I've sold a mountain of things that made me want to cry seeing them leave. Lots of things I wish I had back. "Enough of that", said I. I'm starting to keep things I get attached to. Unless I just can't use it anywhere.
On the Desert Rose teapots...they made a lot of these in the late '80
s to early '90's...They are different from traditional Desert Rose but still made by Fransican in Portugal...I have two platters that I use with my more traditional Desert Rose...I got them at TJ Maxx..way back then!
Love the tray and the teapot. You have done well with your thrifting. I hope your sales justify the time and effort.
