Teacups

 

Good Morning!  It's a rather gray day with the possibility of showers or even some flurries. A good day to stay indoors and relax. But first I will do a bit of housework ( then I feel I 'deserve' to sit and read).

A recent thrifty find that I haven't posted about are these two: the first was very inexpensive because teacups with words don't sell. I have a large collection of teacups that lack saucers and I can always display a pretty cup while hiding the side with words.



The other cup has the unusual saucer which I imagine is meant for a small snack. I have 2 others like it but with different flowers, of course.   I believe the flower is a Frittilaria which is in the Lily family.
I planted some bulbs one year but they didn't grow so maybe it's too wet here in Spring.

Thanks for visiting, Have a lovely weekend.   GM

  6. Pretty cups! I never thought about words not being popular. Those plates are really interesting. Never saw one of those before.

  11. Very pretty finds. The snack tray and teacup are unique. In reply to your comment on my blog - I think we're going to get a composite sink, made of granite chips and resins. I had one in a previous home and quite liked it. What did you choose?

  12. I do like the cup with words. What fun to think about Ruby and her beautiful wedding. It might be fun to collect cups with words. Chickweed! What a nuisance. I might be tempted to get a flock of chickens.

  13. Goodness! That first cup looks like it should belong to the Royal Albert family! Beautiful!

  14. I like the set with the snacking saucer. My daughter gave me one a few years ago, it does stand out among my other cups and saucers. I like them!!!
