Only if you had felt compelled to create a little
coffeepot.
Little teapots are just fine.

Picked up a natsume of sorts at Uwajimaya. I still don't have one of the gorgeous lacquer ones, I'm working on it though.

$20. Sakura veneer over solid wood of course. A steal I think.

Very nice! I have a metal one, but I really prefer the wood lined.

$20 is a steal. The ones I've priced start at $35.

I'm teasing. I actually enjoy coffee too.
My avatar shows a kyuusu that was included in a set of miniatures from Japan (I think they're used mainly for dollhouse displays, but I'm not sure). Here it's balancing on my left thumb. I'll post a photo of the whole set some time... it's actually pretty nifty.
However, this little kyuusu (made of molded plastic) is non-functional. The lid doesn't come off. So much for making a potful of tea from a single tea leaf!

That would give a whole new meaning to a "spot" of tea!!

Yippee, a field trip. Whose parents will chaperone and when do we take home the permission slips? Can we get one of those cool coaches or do we have to travel in a school bus? Are we half way there yet?
