Floral Teapot Set

I went garage-saling yesterday. I used to do it a lot with my mom when I lived at home - through middle school and high school - especially when I was really into HGTV. During college, I kinda forgot about it, but I've decided to pick the hobby back up to see what I can find. They say most of Rachael Ray's plates, platters, etc are actually vintage, so I'm interested to see what kind of wonderful discoveries I can make.



Yesterday, I picked up this super cute tea set for only $5! Yes, only $5. I read the bottom, and the set is apparently made in France...maybe I'll google it later to see if it's worth anything, but I just really like how pretty it is.

My original idea for garage-saling was to find cute, vintage plateware for entertaining, but some seem like they may have been made for looking at only. I'm still deciding for this set if I'll simply display it or actually put it to good use with my friends and family. What do you think?
