TEA CUPS AND EVERYTHING ELSE!




Hello Ladies! Welcome to Tea Cup Tuesday No. 126. This post is going to be all over the place. It is hot! Can't seem to make myself go outside, except to water by poor plants. It is suppose to get a little better this week. I hope that is true. I hate the heat! Being inside a lot causes me to look inward. (I usually don't like what I see.) Do you ever have that happen to you? Thinking deep things like, why do I find some things so beautiful?
Why do bugs and earthquakes scare me? Do others think I am crazy? When you have blogged as long as I have, who you are is very clear. You really can't fake it. Why do I love tea cups? Why do I hate to cook? I am sure glad I don't get deep very often. It gives me a head ache. I have been going through my home looking at the things that make me feel good just to look at. As you have probably figured out, roses give me great comfort. Why? I don't know. The Lord calls Himself "The Rose of Sharon," even God loves roses.





Did I ever tell you I scrapbook? Well, I do! I have so much stuff I could open my own store. I took a class this weekend to learn how to do "pop up" cards. It was so much fun. I decided to open my home up for weekly scrapping parties. Anything to keep me from deep thinking! This is what I did this weekend. I hope you can tell that they are 3 dimensional. If you are in my area on Wednesday, email me, and join our scrapbook gathering.






On to tea cups! Here is my first tea cup. It is an Aynsley. I love this set. It reminds me of my daughter, Vanessa. I have the tea pot with the sugar and creamer. It has two cups to this set, just beautiful!




My next cup is this simple pink depression glass. I love depression glass, especially the pink color. Ok, that's not completely true. I love the green, the cranberry, the yellows, blues and amber colors too.



Can you see the differences between the two cups depression cups? Look at the edges on this next set.



The last cup I am sharing is a Limoges. You know how I feel about Limoges. I want you to take a look at the plate on this one. It took me months, about 10 years ago to pay for this set on lay-away. (The only way my husband would let me have it.) It is a service for 12. It is breathe taking! My daughter Vanessa wants it, when I go home to be with the Lord.




Well, ladies, here is Mr. Linky for this week. I will try hard to get a give away together for next week. Please visit my dearest friend and partner in tea cup partying, Terri. She is always so ready to show you something beautiful!





Please visit my website, Pretty Vintage Things. I have listed a lot of new items this past week. Try to keep cool. Hugs, Martha

  7. Dear Martha,
    I really don't have any clue why you love roses, collect lots of nice things and do so many things. But I know one: We all love that! It's always fun to see your treasures. It is so inspiring to see your decorating skills and your jewlry and collections. Kepp on it! Your scrap booking is amazing. Really beautiful done. Thank you for sharing and for hosting this great event party.
    Best greetings, Johanna

  9. Good morning Martha - I am not fond of the heat either - especially here in the South where it is coupled with humidity - it makes you feel like you're wearing a heavy coat out in the heat.
    You must be having fun with these pop-up cards - they're fantastic - you've done a wonderful job.
    I am particularly fond of Ainsley dishes - but that Limoge teacup and saucer - it is well worth layaway payments! I do appreciate you hosting and sharing. I hope you have a blessed week,
    Kathy

  14. It's all lovely, Martha! I love visiting your blog to see the teacups and all your collections. The lace tablecloth above is beautiful, too! Nice work on the pop-up cards; they came out great and will certainly bring smiles to whoever receives one. Have a great day!

  15. Hi, Martha. I hope you are doing well and that your grandchildren are happy. I love your tea time today. As you know, Aynsley has become my favorite and your treasures are so precious. I love the idea of one big rose and one small rosebud for the design. It's right up there as a favorite of the one BIG rose or any BIG flower! LOL! This design is just so sweet and can make you feel quite feminine. The depression glass is wonderful. I love the edged design and those lovely pearls you have thrown over them. Girl, you just make me smile when I visit you. Now, your pop-up cards....PERFECT! LOVE the 3 dimensional. I clicked on your photos to view them bigger. You did an awesome job on these! Your scrapbook partying should be a lot of fun. The Limoges is the sweetest and most gorgeous I have seen and can see why your lovely daughter would want this passed down to her. This set will bring back many wonderful memories because it's you that put so much love into it.
    You're the best!

  16. Hi Martha,
    What a beautiful post! Love your teacups and jewels. Won't be long and we will be enjoying fall weather. It has been a lot cooler here in Southwestern Ontario. We had one hot day on Sunday but the days are cooling down. I love the pop up cards you have created. I have started to dabble in card making and find that it can be very expensive but I have seen so many beautiful creations on blogs that I can't resist. lol Thanks for hosting. Have a nice week.
    Blessings,
    Lisa
