Tell-Tale Teapots is a collectible range of decorative teapots brought to you by the creators of the famous Finnians. Together the teapots form the small Irish village of Ballykettle. Each teapot measures about 8 by 5.5 inches and has its own stories and secrets - but these are only told by its neighbour, who are only too happy to share them with you.

CIRCLE OF PRAYER 'The fruit of silence is prayer; the fruit of prayer is faith; the fruit of faith is love; the fruit of love is service; the fruit of service is peace.' (Blessed Mother Theresa) |

My
name is Mick Maguire and I am the local Sergeant in Ballykettle for over
twenty five years, and my father was the Sergeant here before me. The Maguires
have been keeping law and order in Ballykettle nigh on seventy years.
You
are honoured to have found the oldest and most famous pub in Ballykettle.
Generations of Byrnes have served this community well since the old days
when we were the only watering hole for miles around.
Paddy
Keogh is the name and I don't mind admitting I'm ambitious and determined
to be rich and successful. I'm in the building trade all my life and indeed
my ancestors have built nearly every house in this village.
For
many a year now I've been running this B&B all on my own since my poor
Paddy passed away. I have all kinds of visitors coming to stay and with
the reputation I have for cooking and running a good house.
Running
the local grocery store and being the postmistress is no mean feat and
I have held that proud position of great trust and integrity for nearly
twenty years now, having taken over from my poor Aunt Josie who had the
running of the shop for forty years previous.
My
name is Joe Donnelly and I am the Fireman in Ballykettle. I am a very busy
man, what with looking after all the electric and plumbing needs of the
village not to mention my involvement with training the local football
team ... and Katie O'Brien!
Come
in and have a cup of tea and some nicely baked scones. My name is Katie
O'Brien and I'm just baking for the second time today. It's all Joe Donnelly's
fault. I've stayed in Ballykettle for more years than I can remember waiting
for that old fool!
Fr.
Jack at your service. You might think I'm a bit arrogant when I say it's
thanks to me that we have such a peaceful and loving community here in
Ballykettle. It's a well known fact that when left to their own devices
there's no telling what devilment people will get up to, including regular
visits to the local pubs ...
This
is Johnny O'Reilly's pub and it is the finest, best run pub in Ballykettle.
The hardest working honest men in the village, who like to stop and relax
with a few drinks after a days work, frequent it. Fr. Jack is a regular
visitor to this establishment, sure he likes to keep a close eye on the
shenanigans ...
My
name is Brendan MacNamara and I am the local schoolteacher here in Ballykettle.
This is the Schoolhouse and it's here we have been turning out Ballykettle's
finest for over a hundred years. Some of our past pupils have done very
well for themselves ... but nothing had prepared me for young Philip Daly...
Hello
my name is Peggy Daly and I must tell you about my son Phillip, he's a
little angel. What an adorable child and so well mannered! He really is
my pride and joy. My little cottage has been in my family for years and
the Dalys lived in Ballykettle long before the MacNamaras.
