TEA CUPS AND NOSTALIGIC TOUCHS FOR NOVEMBER!





Hello Ladies: Welcome to Tea Cup Tuesday No 137! I know we are almost at Halloween and everyone's home is ready for that fun day. Our home is filled with excitement as well, but I am beginning to look forward to Thanksgiving. I think Thanksgiving is a perfect time to showcase your collections. It seems that it is the one time of the year when the past is always in style. I have begun to slowing make some changes in my home looking forward to Thanksgiving. So, with that in mind, today you will see some November cups.




This first cup is a Nippon. It is almost wafer thin and I have the matching dessert plate. I really prefer to purchase my tea cups with the dessert plate, simply because when I have tea parties, they are usually for very large groups and the matching plate makes it so much easier. This cup is hand painted and it is stunning. I am not a big Japan fan, but this cup is one of many exceptions.





My next cup is a Castleton China. This first demitasse cup has pattern name of "Sunnyvale". This is very high quality china with a wonderful floral print.



This last cup is a Haviland, Limoges. My all time favorite china company. The name of this pattern is Autumn. Just look at the wonderful handle on this beauty.

Here is Mr. Linky for this week. A special thank you to Terri for all she did to encourage me this past week. Terri, you are the best! My week was very full.





Hope you have a wonderful week. I feel like I did so much better on my visits last week. My plan to to comment on all visitors this week. Blessings to you all. Hugs, Martha

Hiya Martha! Sweet cups to share this week - and I always love how you set them off with vintage jewelry to match! That Japanese set is lovely - and I know what you mean by how thin it can be. I would be truly fearful to actually use it - but having sipped tea from such dainties - there is something amazing in how it tastes in such frail china!
Joy!

Ohhh, that turkey platter looks a lot like mine!
Once more just love your cups Martha!
Here in Australia, Halloween is becoming more popular. Our little neighbourhood identifies houses that want to partake of 'trick or treat' by marking their letter box with balloons etc. Last year I forgot! This year I can't wait. Happy Halloween!

It is amazing that you manage to create a lovely post to share for every tea time Tuesday along with all of the things you do and people you care for. I am thankful to Terri for encouraging you this week, for you would be sorely missed.

As much as I adore Nippon, your maple leaf tea cup by Haviland has stolen my heart this week.

Thank you for taking the time to share with us.

Hi Martha,
I love your Nippon tea trio. I am looking forward to Christmas now since we have already celebrated our Thanksgiving here in Canada. Have a lovely week, my friend.

Blessings,

Your delicate Nippon china is beautiful! You've inspired me to start getting out the Thanksgiving decor! ;) sandy

All the cups, saucers, and plates are lovely, but you don't know how it warmed my heart to see the "Sunnyvale". That was my grandmother's china and as a teenager, I thought it was the most beautiful china ever made. One of my cousins has it, and I had forgotten the name of the pattern, so now I know again and can maybe find a piece or two for myself sometime. Thanks!

I am with you - I so look forward to Thanksgiving - getting together with family and enjoying the wonder of the holiday - that's a great idea to make sure you collect dessert plates with your teacups - makes great sense. Love the Limoges teacup - all are beautiful. I do appreciate you hosting and sharing,

Hi Martha, I haven't been keeping up with your blog weekly, as I have had a lot of family obligations lately. You always do such a beautiful job! I love the last fall teacup you shared...so pretty.
I am looking forward to Thanksgiving too. I love it as it's not too commercial, just family and friends...and turkey!
