Hi Ladies: Welcome to Tea Cup Tuesday No. 120! Hope you are all experiencing a wonderful 4th of July holiday. I love this holiday! It is a great time to be with family and experience all the great barbeques that come with the gathering of loved ones. This will be my last Red, White & Blue theme post for this year. I must confess, I am feeling a little under the weather today. My mind is full of things I want to do, but I am having trouble getting moving. I just could not miss our party!
Here is the first cup I am sharing this week. It is a stunning Aynsley. You know how beautiful they are. I love the ear shaped handle of this cup. The colors are more of a bright slate blue on this one.
Did I ever tell you I collect shoes? Well, I do, and have them in all kinds of different shapes and styles. You will see them all over my home. (Just thought I would mention that!) My next cup is not really a cup, not really sure what it is. It could be a soup cup, however, it is so very old, the stamp dates to 1860, I am not sure if Limoges made soup cups like this way back when. I was told by the antique dealer that sold it to me, it was a sales men sample. I am not really sure how true that is. It is larger than most soup cups I have ever seen. The stamp reads C. Ahrenfeldt Limoges France Depose. It is 4" tall and 5 1/2" across. It is very beautiful, and one of my favorites. It has no crazing at all on it, which just amazes me.
The last cup this week is this vintage, Nippon, Hand painted cup and saucer. It is wafer thin. You can see the painters strokes on the cup, stunning. I think the cup stands beautiful all alone. I decorate the silver, vintage tea spoons with bling. Let me know if you would like one, I would be happy to make one for you in your favorite color.
Here is Mr. Linky for this week .
Please be sure to visit Terri, she is having a give away. I have always wanted to win one of her prizes, I have had no luck so far. Maybe you will be lucky, please let us know if you win! I will have a giveway next month. Good luck! Thank you to all faithful who are a part of this fun event every week. It would not be the same without you!
This last picture is of a vintage, pot metal, tiara I have for sale on Pretty Vintage Things. Stop by and take a peek when you get a chance.
Have a wonderful time celebrating our Nation's freedom! Hugs, Martha

Hi Martha,
the lady is so nice decorated with the neclaces in patriotic colors. And the Aynsley cup is really beautiful as much as the Limoges one is interesting. But the nippon tea cup is to die for. You have always great collections. Thank you for sharing them and for hosting this nice event.
Best greetings, Johanna

Hello Martha,
I am so glad you were feeling good enough to post! Yay! I hope that you feel much better soon.
Your cups today are gorgeous again....each one is very special...and the "soup" cup is glorious! I can see why it is one of your favorite cups. It looks like it is much newer than it's age.
I didn't know you collected shoes! Is there anything you don't collect?
I wonder ; )
Hugs,
Terri
Happy 4th of July Martha! Beautiful display! Hugs and blessings, Cindy
Dear Martha
I´m here again .During some months I had not free time and I did´nt prepare the tea but now I´m on holidays until september and I would like very much meeting you every week
Your tea cups are always lovely
Hugs
Happy Independence Day, Martha! Hope you have a wonderful day with your family. The teacups are gorgeous this week; I LOVE the last one . . . but I guess I really have a thing for anything made in Limoge.
Hi Martha! Your teacups are stunning this week - very different red, whites, and blues - but so elegant! I am particularly drawn to your lady bust with that amazing pearl necklace and lacey thing she's got going! WOW! My kind of display - though to wear it in person would be cumbersome, I daresay!
Joy!
Kathy
Beautiful as usual. Nobody can surpass your amazing collection, Martha. Happy 4th!....Christine
Beautiful tea cups! Wishing you a very Happy 4th!

You're a guy behind the mic right now. We are the guys here to do one thing. We have to go back to America and take the abuse. My biggest thing is really sisterhood more than feminism. I don know how we as women expect men to respect us because we don even seem to respect each other. There so much jealousy, so much comparison and envy.

In these months, accommodation rates are generally significantly higher than at other times of the year, but the weather is usually at its best. Rates funny christmas t shirts are cheaper in ggg shirt the summer and autumn months, when it's stickier and wetter and note that St Lucia gets more rain than other less mountainous Caribbean islands such as Barbados or Antigua.
