This is such a cute little kettle!  I was hesitant to buy it because it was a little pricey.  However, it's one of those great finds where function can be fashionable.  I bought the navy blue and leave it on my cooktop for the accent color, but find I drink a whole lot more hot tea now that I have this sweet little kettle in my kitchen.  The metal strip between the wood on the handle gets super hot, so be careful, but other than that, it's just perfect.
