Tea Cup Tuesday

I saw this recently on this blog:


and just loved it. Plus I need something to motivate my blogging!!!

I know most people think that Tea Cups are a thing of the past but I love them and think they are just beautiful and have decided to participate for a while.

I inherited some lovely tea-cups from my Grandmother, plus my Mother-in-law has a wonderful collection that I will be sharing with you.

I myself just love a cup of tea throughout the day and it feel so much more special if you have it in a pretty china cup.

So here is the first one for you to admire:


This is actually one of a set of 4 that I picked up a yard sale, it doesn't look like much but I love green and I love glass and it's made in france which makes me love it even more.





Here is another one for you for this week


This is part of a massive set of the "Old Country Roses" collection by Royal Albert - Bone China from England.
I inherited this set from my mum who didn't want to cart it around anymore so not it lives with me. I have a teapot, salt & pepper shakers, massive platter and complete 6 piece dining set plus more.


And lastly I thought I would share my latest win!!!
I was lucky enough that the planets aligned one day and the kids were being good for half an hour one Thursday morning and I called into the "Creative Mojo" internet radio show to say hi to Mark Lipinski. I just wanted to say hi and say how much I enjoy the show and would you know it, they were giving away these great mugs to all callers and they sent one all the way to me in Australia.
It's a great show that runs every week, I subscribe to it in my I-tunes podcasts so I can listen to it when I like. There are all sorts of different guests talking about heaps of different things and Mark is just a hoot. Go and check out the blog to see who's on this week:

Your green glass teacup is a treasure, and I know quite a few ladies who would be a bit jealous of your large collection of Old Country Roses. My MIL is one~ and congratulations on your win!

Hello Bec, and welcome to Tea Cup Tuesday! We love having you! I do love your green tea cup and saucer. There is something lovely about a clear glass cup. Your OCR tea cup and saucer is beautiful. I do love that pattern.
You have a beautiful site, I will have a good look around before I go.
Thank you so much for sharing with us.
Hugs,
Terri

Glad you are here for a while! I am partial to the Roses pattern of your cups. I love the delicate shape of the cup.
