I NEEDED ANOTHER TEA CUP!



Hello Ladies! I hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day! I love Mother's Day, I have a wonderful Mom who is my rock. It is always so much fun when we gather to celebrate her and all the Mom's in the family. It feels like Christmas. We share gifts with all the Mom's and lucky me, I got two tea cups! I needed them sooo bad! Now I get to share them with you, on Tea Cup Tuesday, No. 61!





The first tea cup is one of those gifts. It is from the Bradford Editions. It is called "Topaz Tulip" by Lena Liu. I did not even know Bradford issued tea cups. I love the bow on the handle of this one. The background is a very pale teal. Like I said, "I needed a tea cup!"




Cup No. 2 is also a Bradford Editions, 1996. It is called "Circle of Joy, Floral Greetings" from Lena Liu. It features a purple pansies with a butterfly in the center. This one too, was also a gift I needed badly!





Cup No. 3 is one I have had for years. I don't believe I have ever shown you this one. I have a few that are similar, but not quite the same. It is, of course, a Haviland, Limoges. Teal and pink roses, just stunning.



The last tea cup I am sharing this week is called "Ferncroft", by Royal Worcester, England. It is a trio, very sweet! It was a thrift store special a couple of years ago.




Did I ever tell you I collect lady figurines? Well, I do, I have several around the house in different colors. The top picture is a Josef. I think they are my favorite items to collect. I know that is shocking, considering the number of tea cups I have. I just love how they can make any spot look so romantic.





I am going to end this post with some pictures of Noah. He is into costumes and dress up these days. The three costumes in these pictures are some I made for my son, Kyle who is now 21 years old. Looking at Noah in these costumes reminded me of my son so much. Noah looks so much like him. He is just too cute to not show you.



You know what to do with Mr. Linky! Have a wonderful week. Don't forget to visit Terri's blog. You never get disappoint with your visit there. Hugs to all, Martha

Oh Martha, that is so ADORABLE that Noah is into costumes! Loved those photos and, of course, the ones of your lovely cups, as well.

Hope you have a wonderful week. Susan

What pretty teacups! Your Limoges teacup is amazing!! And I like your little blue hobnail cream and sugar. It reminds me of my clear "moonstone".

Martha, you always show such lovely things. I think I am very attracted to the bow on the "Topaz Tulip" cup. What a sweet idea to put a bow on the handle. I do like the Haviland very much, also. The like the pastel floral pattern and soft colors. I think figurines are very nice, too. I especially like the flowers in the hair - the primroses(?)

Noah is darling in his costumes. I remember when my son, Robert (now 21), liked to dress up in costumes, too. What a sweet, innocent age. Thank you for sharing with us.

Blessings always,
Marianne

You can never have too many tea cups! I am glad you had a great Mother's Day! Your new cup is wonderful!
Hugs, Lisa

Martha!!! I just have to find a "topaz tulip" for my collection. I have NEVER seen a bow on a teacup handle. The colors are so pretty. They are ALL wonderful, but that one made my heart stop. I am giving away a gift subscription to Tea Time Magazine this week on my blog it can be used for the winner or the winner can gift it to anyone in the US. Feel free to pass the word on. Happy Mother's Day and that Noah really must pull on your heart strings, what a sweet lovie! ~ Trisha

Lovely new addition to your collection. Have a great week.

What wonderful teacups. I love the Lena Liu cup. I have several hummingbird pictures of hers. Wonderful artist.

The pictures of Noah are precious. Are they not just so fun at that age. One of my favorite pictures of my oldest grandson is one where he is dressed up as Laur Ingles. He was wearing an outfit my mother had made for 1976 and the July 4th Celebration in our hometown.

Glad that you had a wonderful Mothers day.

Terri said...

Hello Martha,
I am so glad to hear you had a lovely Mother's day! Your tea cups today are gorgeous. I love the two new ones, and of course the Limoges.
I didn't know you collected lady figurines. I will have to keep a look out for you.
Thank you for sharing more of Noah, he is so adorable!
Hugs,
Terri

I just started my collection and I am looking for tea cups everywhere I go and loving it. Thanks for hosting this fun party. I love to see all the tea cups. Hugs, Karie

Johanna Gehrlein said...

Oh Martha, I really know, you really needed some more tea cups. :-) But I understand, that is the life of a collector, which I am too. And we enjoy so much to see your pretty cups. Thank you for sharing this wonderful treasures and for hosting this sweet event.
Best greetings, Johanna

Tammy@T's Daily Treasures said...

Hi Martha, hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day. Noah is a cutie! He could hop on his magic carpet with that Alladin costume and fly on over to my side of the world. HA! Don't think he would survive as a penguin in the heat we are having. :) Have a great rest of the week. Tammy

Trish said...

Hello Martha,
You have a very lovely blog :-)
And what beautiful teacups you received for Mother's Day!!
I love the soft colours and the shape of your new Topaz Tulip.
The lovely bow on the handle is a nice touch - makes it especially feminine!
blessings..Trish

Unknown said...

Sounds like your Mother's day was beautiful. and the first cup is my fave of them all this week all beautiful of course.

How quickly they grow! and Noah is getting so big as well. Fabby costumes.

What a bunch of beautiful tea cups you showed us today, Martha!
The first one is very special, and the English one is superb, too, for my liking!
But the real beauty is you grandson Noah!
I was a grandmother for the first time 4 months ago and now I know how wonderful it is!
Cheers

Jann said...

Whoops! I meant to leave a comment, not a link! Your teacups are lovely, Martha--and little Noah's love of costumes reminds me of one of my grandsons . . . he is 5 now, but loved to dress up as either Batman or Spiderman, and often would wear his costumes out in public about a year ago . . . my daughter and I would meet for coffee, and there Batman or Spiderman would be, accompanying us!

Lady Linda said...

I don't know what I like better...your grandson or the teacups! Both are treasures!

Judith @ Lavender Cottage said...

I didn't know Bradford Exchange had teacups either, your new ones are gorgeous - especially the one with the butterfly.
