Vintage Pyrex Teapot with Tea Ball Infuser

I'm getting ready for another visit with my family, and thought I should unpack some of the treasures I brought home from my last visit before I go. I had completely forgotten about this old Pyrex teapot I found in my mom's basement! It was my great-grandmother's, and I haven't been able to find another one like it. I did find an image from a Pyrex brochure printed in 1931 that shows this style, but with a glass top. I believe the pot is style 16, a 6-cup teapot, but I haven't been able to find any information on the metal top with infuser. The top fits this pot perfectly, so I think it must have been made for this pot, and not a generic top. I'm hoping that some of you Pyrex lovers can help me with its history and value, maybe the top was part of a special promotion?

Soap Dishes are Good Clean Fun

I've been making a lot of soap dishes lately. They're fun to design, pretty to look at, and they're functional--a win all the way around!


I've partnered with Robyn's Nest Boutique for a bit of promotion, and now each of my soap dishes come with a sample of Robyn's wonderful soap.



Robyn's Fleur de Lis soap would look beautiful in this lavender soap dish. A licensed esthetician, Robyn also creates lip balms and other bath and body products.
This soap dish with the bubbles inside is a really fun way to decorate your powder room. Want a different color? Just ask!

Charlotte, NC

I'm sorry I've been silent for so long, but things have been going at a constant whoooooooooosh for months now! You may remember that Mr. LuckyGirl got a job in Charlotte, about a 3-hour drive from our home. That contract job turned into a permanent job, so we found an apartment in Charlotte and moved just in time to get the kids started in school here. Then the search was on for a place for my glass studio, and another round of packing, moving, and unpacking. We're just finishing up getting our house ready to rent out (know anyone looking for a house in Durham with a terrific studio space?), and still trying to organize the new studio.

I've been trying out some new things with glass, and Mr. LuckyGirl has been creating new metal designs. I'll have more to show soon--I promise!--but in the meantime here's a soap dish that I can't stop looking at.

A Half Century

It's been along time since I've managed to post here--the summer has been crazy hectic--but it's not been quite 50 years. :-D

August is my birthday month, and the half century I'm referring to will be my age in a few weeks. I'm totally excited! The only thing more awesome than being a half-century is turning a full century, and I have a long time to plan that celebration.

To celebrate I'm having a Buy 1, Get 1 50% Off sale in all my shops all month long! For each item you purchase I'll take half off the price of a second item (discount will be on the lowest-priced item). Send me a Happy Birthday message via the venue you shop at and I'll either adjust prices for you or send you a refund.

Celebrate with me at LuckyGirlTrading on eBay, LuckyGirlTrading on Etsy, or LuckyGirlTrading on ArtFire.

I've got some new creations to show off, and a few more birthday celebrations to share, so check back in a few days to see what else I have going on!
