After Dinner Coffee Pot? Check!!!

I have a board on Pinterest called Things to Buy Before I Die. Maybe that title is a little more morbid for a 66-year-old than for a 26-year-old, but I don't intend for it to be. It just means there's a little more pressure to find bargains on the items on my ultimate shopping list.

My list is actually quite short, and it became shorter still with an eBay win over the weekend. I have a fairly extensive collection of Russel Wright Iroquois Casual china in ripe apricot, and I've had the after dinner coffee pot on my list for a long time.

Several days ago, I saw one at an incredible price and put it on my watch list. It had just been listed, and I figured the price was going to be bid up to more than I wanted to spend, but I decided to keep an eye on it. When there were only 13 hours left in the auction, I decided to put in a very low bid, and I won!!!

Here's a stock photo from a replacement company. The seller's photo wasn't as pretty, and I was too excited to wait to post about this latest win.

    Ha! I found a pinched lid gray one at an antique store a few years ago for 25 dollars in perfect shape.

      They're not as easy to come by as they were a few years ago, but if you're persistent, you can still find some. :)

      Slow and steady wins the race...occasionally. :)
