Mine is wishful thinking!

TeapotCollection · 13/03/2024 15:53

Everything I tried was taken so I did a Mrs Doubtfire - picked a magazine up and used the first words I saw. I don’t own any teapots

Me too, but I seem to have kept this one longer than usual. It’s a character from Caryl Churchill’s Top Girls (and a real historical figure — a 13thc Japanese courtesan turned Buddhist nun). I tend to pick a title character from any book in sight.
