This is: something I got, but still haven't used.This is the first and only teapot I've ever had. I bought it for myself for Christmas (hehehe), he came with two little cups which both have feet. I think it's adorable, however, I still haven't used him. My excuse is that I don't have any friends I can invite around for tea yet. I suppose I could use him for myself, and I probably should, but a teabag in a mug is just much quicker and more convenient I guess.
We have had our friends from Sydney come to visit, but I completely forgot to use him then too, (I was most likely too pre-occupied making jugs of icy sangria). He was still all packed up in his original box, tucked away in the cupboard, so I kept forgetting about him altogether. But last weekend I had a frenzied house re-decorating spree, I dug him out and now, despite still having never been used to serve tea, at least he has found some sort of use: to beautify the shelf in our dining room!
Hopefully having him there everyday will remind me to use him next time I get the chance.p.s. I'm so glad so many of you liked the topic :) I'm off to check out all your posts now!

He is a lovely teapot, looks great on display. It is hard to make lots of use of a teapot in this teabag age!
That is the coolest looking teapot! My favourite teapot is my mum's Moroccan one - it's so intricate and beautiful.
ooh he is so cute! I have three teapots which I never use but they are displayed on my kitchen window sill. I love their different shapes (but don't have any animal-shaped ones yet! hmm....)
thanks for a lovely theme!I ♥ your teapot and I wouldn't never ever use it either.Too precious!
have a great sunday!xoxo
Your teapot is absolutely adorable :)
I think icy sangria served from an white elephant teapot is rather grand if not a little left field myself!!
Angela : )
That elephant teapot is absolutely adorable! He looks gorgeous on the shelf but I think he would also make some delicious tea....I think you should host a little tea party.
what a darling teapot!! at least you have him out on show...its really sweet!
That teapot is so cute! And the teacups with feet, how adorable. I think you need to plan yourself a little tea party, one with decorated cupcakes sounds perfect to me (sorry, just saw that curlypops already suggested the tea party - well it's good to see that more than one of us thinks so) ;)
I love that teapot. I think that even if you dont use him he is being show cased beautifully.
Cheers Kyla
Isn't he lovely! Doesn't matter that you haven't made tea with him yet as he does look very cute up on the shelf!
I had to laugh at three buttons' comment, I was also going to suggest sangria served in the elephant. :)
He's very cute and looks lovely on the shelf.
Thanks for choosing such a fabulous topic, you helped me to remember a stashed away treasure!
I just drop my teabag into the teapot, I love your little teapot!
I have tons of stuff on AU I haven't used in boxes. I am still searching for something I haven't used.
Ithink you teapot looks lovely on display with the other little feet-much too nice to use!!Thanks for a fun theme this week
I figure now he is on display he is being used (well sort of)
Thanks for the fun theme! It has been great checking out everyone's posts.
This is incredible! We were at World Market a month ago and I saw this exact same teapot set, and I tried so hard to explain to Scott why I HAD to have it and he didn't go for it. Now I can show him your blog and give him guilt!!!
I love it! You know, I have a Japanese tea set that I had been wanting for years. Finally my mother gave it to me for Christmas a couple years ago...I have never used it either.
Your elephant teapot is gorgeous. A pot of tea always tastes better than just a cup with a teabag... it must be the whole "tea" experience. And I love going back for my 2nd cuppa and its already brewed. You will have to spoil yourself and take some time out and use it.
Oh sweet thing, hes cute! One day Ill bring my piles of fabric over to yours and we'll make something and have tea - Ok?
You're right Flossy-Pumpernickel, I do have to get my stereo up and running.. Then my reward will be to go and get myself an elephant tea pot...
What a gorgeous teapot. And if nothing else, it makes a fabulous item to display.
Great theme - better late than never from me!
oooh i must play along now... been away!
i think that teapot is the cutest thing ever.
