Diamond (and teapots) are a girl's best friend

Wow, definitely getting this one in just under the wire!  I have a little over an hour and a half until April is over in my time zone--which means its the perfect/only time left to post April's gemstone of the month entry! 

I don't have many "novelty" teapots (I try not to add to my collecting habits), but this beauty was a gift from my sister for Christmas.

 

He (because I guess it would have to be a male because of the pretty coloring) is so graceful with the long curving neck lid and tail feathered handle.

 

Of course, because this is April's gemstone post, I just had to get out my diamond necklace:

 

 

because..."square cut or pear shaped, these rocks don't loose their shape, diamonds are a girl's best friend!"

 

Or heart shaped for that matter.

 

This necklace was a graduation gift from my parents when I finished law school--so both pretty and sentimental!

 

Katie also gave also gave me the two matching salt and pepper shakers .

 

 

I think they make such a pretty decorative set!
