Tea Kettles vs. Tea Pots

I very much enjoy sipping a nice cup of tea when it is cold outside. Since I have been back from my mission, I have been kettle-less, simply using the microwave to heat up the water. Boring I know. So I decided I wanted another kettle. But then I thought to myself, "why get a kettle? Tea POTS are SO much cuter!" So I have been investigating different tea pots and have found quite a few that I really like. However, I have also found out that tea pots are meant to only HOLD the hot water, tea, etc..NOT to be used to heat up the water itself. Therefore, you are forced to add a middle-man to heat the water, then take the heated water and pour it into the tea pot. Whereas with a tea kettle, you can just heat it up right on the stove and BAM! Tea. So, I decided to cut out the middle-man and just settle for a kettle. (you like how that rhymes huh?) But I am determined to get one that kind of LOOKS like a tea pot, because they are, after all, so dang cute. I found some that were ok. Not exactly what I would want. And then..I found one! And wouldn't ya know it, its made by Martha Stewart!

Isn't it beautiful? I am determined to have it, but can't bring myself to spend the money, even though it really isn't that expensive. Some day...some day...
