ONE COLLECTOR'S DREAM COME TRUE!




Hello Ladies: I hope this post finds you well and ready to play with our tea cups! As I mentioned last week, I will be having a TV network here in my home on Thursday. They will be taking pictures of my home and collections. I have so much dusting to do. When they gives me permission, I will tell you more. Pray for me, I am over the top. I have had everyone, who could dust over to help me. Since this is going to take place in my entire house, it has kept me busy. I am going to show you just a couple of places where a few of my tea cups are being stored for the filming. I know, I told you before, I thought I had about 300, I am guessing I was a little low with that figure. Here is a picture of my dearest friend, Deby. She came over at a moments notice to dust. No one could ask for a better friend.




I am so over the top right now. To put the cherry on the cake, my web site will be ready by next week. All I will have to do is post the items I want for sale on it. The gal that designed it for me is so nice and so patient with me. The name of the web site will be "Pretty Vintage Things" by Martha's Favorites! The site is beautiful and you will have to go visit just to see her work.




At the same time we are running a Easter Tea Cup Swap. My dear friend Terri has been doing all the work. I just never would have got this all done without her. If you would like to take part. Let me know and I will forward your information over to her. Terri is the angel that is carrying me right now. Please grab the button for your blog. Today marks Tea Cup Tuesday No. 55!




What you are seeing today is a sample of my tea cups. Next week I will show you a sample of my tea pots. I have a lot more than I thought. Again, it is not the Hoarders Show, so rest your pretty little head. It is a show about collectors like me! This is not how my home normally looks! I feel like I have to give you all these disclaimers!




So, I do not have a special cup to show you today, just a lot of them. Here is "Mr Linky". You know what to do with it. Thank you so much for standing with me in this exciting time. Please email me, if you want to be a part of the Easter Tea Cup
Exchange. The top pictures is just something normal in an abnormal post! Blessings, ladies! Martha

Martha, I can feel your excitement! I am so happy for you! I hope you have a really good insurance policy (you may need to update it now that you know you have more than you thought!).
All of your cups are gorgeous, of course. I see so many I would love....can I go shopping in your house????
I send you hugs of love,
Terri
p.s. I have a bit of an unusual post today too!

Do you really have 300 different teacups? WOW!! I know you have shown us a lot of really pretty ones, but since we only see a few each week, it's hard to imagine. Can't wait to hear what this NBC thing is about.. You'll have to tell us when you are going to be on tv.

Oh Martha

I am so happy for you and all these wonderful things couldn't happen to a nicer person. You are beautiful inside and out and your passion is obvious. I am only sorry I won't be able to watch it when it air's.

I have seen so many of your beautiful items over this past year I knew you must have more lol

The web site sounds very intriguing can't wait to see what your going to be selling (I hope I can afford an item or two ;0)

God bless your kind heart and may it all (web TV etc) go smoothly for you.

Love Dawn xx

What an exiting time for you! Enjoy! I'd be interested int he tea cup swap. Cheers

Patti said...

Hello, my sweet friend. How are you doing? I think I told you that I am having problems with my internet filter (Integrity). It is blocking 95% of all photos on Blogger, something it is not supposed to do. Certain sidebar photos remain, but most everyone's post photos won't show up...so I can't see yours. I CAN, however, read your words, and I'm excited about your upcoming TV stint. That is SO neat. How did they hear about you?

I hope you are having a wonderful day.

Love and hugs,
Patti

Hugs,
Terri

How exciting to be featured on TV, congratulations Martha, I hope all goes well!

KathyB. said...

Congratulations on your upcoming NBC showcase. ( Not 'Hoarders', I know)You are so funny ! I can almost imagine your frantic dusting and polishing in preparation for your moment of fame. Bet you will breathe a sigh of relief and get some sound sleep when this is over, and I also think you will enjoy every moment of sharing your lovely teacups.Thank-you again for hosting this fun passion.

What a wonderful collection you have. I am looking forward to seeing your teapots. That is what I collect. Have just over 100 of them at last count.

Am going to be painting my kitchen this week and need to get them all down and washed. That is a job.

Congrats on the TV appearance. Sounds exciting.
