My dear husband gave me this teapot about two or so years ago. We had a heavy cast iron tea pot, that was, well, heavy and big. I wanted something for the nights he was gone, just for myself. So, he bought this set for me. As I chased our kids around the tea store he talked to the cashier, making sure I would have everything I needed. He carefully picked out the infuser for me, I overheard the conversation. He told the lady that he wanted something with a handle because my fingertips were delicate and without calluses. He did not want me to burn my fingers on the infuser basket. How sweet.
So, I sit here, on another night alone, brewing my peppermint tea. Feeling a little lonely, but every so grateful for a little reminder of his kindness.
I love this story, and what a lovely gift. I remember you telling me this.
