tiggerlady Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Yes folks ,it's already started..the collecting of chicken stuff! OH muttered something about teabags not being the same as tea in a pot and then mused 'I wonder if anyone does chooky teapots?' So have looked on auction sites but dont like whats on offer.Have any of you ideas as to where we might buy one to start the collection off? Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillfamily Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Evening Do you want a chicken shaped teapot (not that I know where you could get one) or one with chickens on it Emma Bridgewater does a lovely teapot - I've got one (used it to make the tea on my course ) but it's pricey - my birthday pressie last year :D Matalan and M&S have both sold chickeny teapots earlier this year - in true Omlet style the thread ran to many pages and teapots were soon sold out across the country Would be worth trying them to see if they still have any Good luck in your search and glad to see that you're already starting your chickenalia collection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 I have the M & S one (along with matching mugs, glasses, cruet set, toast rack. tea cloths ) the teapot is lovely and nice and large - so you get lots of cups of tea from it. Why not e mail them and see if they have any in stock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No joy in bhs either! so went up the road to a..touristy shop(!) and came back with a nice mug and a spoon rest! Dunelm is next on the list! Also saw a nice clock(lust! lust!) so thats on the 'next week' list!

helenc Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 The spring collection is gorgeous DD1 collects snow domes, so the chicken one is a must This year the Christmas collection has a farmyard range, its ages since I placed my order (January!!) so I can't exactly remember what is coming but I know there is a music dome from that range although I don't know which animals are in it, there is also a set of wooden animal decorations. I'll know soon enough as the Christmas stock usually comes to me at the end og August. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
