Tè per due

Can we just say up front that we are crazy about this pottery tea pot from Italy!?  We happened upon it while at the Paris Gift Show.  It's from a wonderful Italian vendor, Fiorira' un Giardino' and we fell in love with everything about it;  the rope handle, the squaty shape, the color, the patterning on the top - it all makes our hearts skip a beat.  Now that's amore'!  Imagine yourself by a cozy fire, wrapped up in one our Swan's Island Blankets (way better than a Snuggie!), while having tea poured from this scrumptious tea pot.  Whether it's tea for two or a momentary escape of solitude, you will want to treat yourself to tea from this gem.  And when you're not using it - it can just be there and look..oh what is the word?... Oh yeah - Magnifico! ... Did you happen to notice how we worked in the phrase "while at the Paris Gift Show"?  Beautiful teapots are not the only perks that come from Winnow!
