Tea Cup Tuesday

Hello, and thank you for visiting me today. Today is Tea Cup Tuesday and I want to share with you two cups that I recently purchased at the great Treasure Mart, when I first spotted these cups I lifted them up to see where they were made, there is no name on them, just numbers, the china is such a creamy and soft color china and the cups are so delicate, they both have the same pattern, but one cup is smaller and the cups are shaped differently. I love all the gold on them and I love the handles, they are so delicate, with clovers on them. The bottom of the cups are different too, they have a large lip. If anyone knows anything about these cups I would love for you to share with me. I love the beautiful flowers on them and the gold inside the cups too. I want to thank Terri and Martha for hosting Tea Cup Tuesday and please click on the teacup on my right side bar to visit the other participants. I hope you are having a wonderful week. Hugs, Terri

Tea Cup Swap, What I sent my Partner Liz

I joined Sharon's Tea cup Swap, and my partner was Liz, she is just the most sweetest person and it was such a pleasure to meet Liz, she does not have a blog, but I am hoping that she gets one soon. In the previous post you can see all the beautiful things she sent me. I was a little intimidated to say the least. So here are pictures of the tea cup and also the things that I made and sent her. She said she loved roses and pink, I had so much fun creating things to send to her. The tea cup is a tea cup that is marked Bavaria and has beautiful roses on it. I also made Liz a lace journal with a tea cup on the front with her name on it. I also made Liz's tea cup a cozy, it is made with vintage laces and doily, I also added vintage millinery flowers and a rhinestone pin to it. I also decorated a shaker of pink sugar with lace and also a vintage rhinestone dress clip. I sent Liz a vintage rose bowl. I made Liz a Valentine shadow box and also a Valentine paper weight. I just heard from Liz, so I know she has received her box and she was very happy, I am so glad Liz. If you want to go see all the other swap members, click on the tea cups on the right of my side bar. Thank you so much Sharon for hosting such a wonderful swap and Thank you Liz for being such a wonderful partner. I am wishing you all a wonderful weekend. Hugs, Terri
