PRETTY IN PINK TEA CUPS!

Hello Ladies, welcome to Tea Cup Tuesday No. 304! I am running a little late this week. I have had a busy week with costumes, three done, two to go by Friday. Sharing some pink cups this week, I have begun to regain some of my energy. My son continues to do well, thank God!

This first cup is a hand painted Lefton. It is more beautiful in person.

This last cup is a beautiful Bavarian trio. Everything looks so beautiful in pink, don't you think?

Here are a couple of pictures of Sophia's costumes so far. In case you did not guess, Mary Poppins and Renaissance girl.

Have a wonderful week. ladies. Here are some of the parties I will be joining late!

TEA CUP TUESDAY NO. 303!

Hello ladies and welcome to Tea Cup Tuesday No. 303! Hope your week has been good. Mine has continued to be great, my son is doing so well, I almost can't believe it. It has been just over a month and every day I see more and more of the son that I remember before the accident. I can never thank you enough for each prayer that was said for him. It seems that our family has been going through this for so long, I don't know how to adjust to this new normal. Good problem to have.

Still thinking about thinning down my collections. I think it will make my life easier for me. I am all about that now. Getting ready for a huge church project. I will be teaching over 50 ladies how to make a wall hanging. I will show you next week, what we are doing. Also making a "Mary Poppins" costume for Sophia, she needs it done by the end of the month. As you can tell, things are getting back to normal.

Continuing to share teal color cups this month starting with this beautiful Royal Albert. Pink and teal look so pretty together.

This next cup is a Colclough from England. It is very Chintz style and the pictures really do not do it justice.

Hope you have a wonderful week. Thank you for faithfully following this little blog, you are good women to know. Please feel free to post whatever your heart desires, I love to look at your homes. Here are some of the parties I will be linking to:

SPRING HAS ARRIVED IN LOS ANGELES AND TEAL TEA CUPS ARE IN!

Hello Ladies and welcome to Tea Cup Tuesday No. 302! Hope your week was good. We are doing great, busy but healthy. I could not make up my mind what color to put out for this month, I finally decided on teal. It is very Springlike and makes for a good change. Not really sure how I collected so much of this color but I did. I am in serious need of a large yard sale to take some of this stuff way. When you buy what you love, it is hard to sell later, don't you think? That has always been my problem.

You can guess by the shape that this first cup is an Aynsley. Always lovely to use and look at.

This next cup is a Crown Staffordshire, I have an Aynsley with a similar rose print.

Had to share my Wisteria in the front yard. It is always so beautiful this time of year and the fragrance is delightful. Have a great week. Here are some of the parties I will be linking up too. Please feel free to share whatever makes you happy. Blessings, Martha
