TEA CUPS AND GIVE AWAYS!






Hello Dear Friends: Welcome to Tea Cup Tuesday No. 159! Hoping you are all doing wonderful and almost ready for Easter, as we enter Holy Week. As I told you last week, my week was very busy, but it all worked out very well. Class was a lot of fun, had about 30 ladies all making tassels so different.



I do have a picture of my give away this week. I am adding a tea cup to it, since we are all about tea cups and bling. Remember all you have to do is leave a comment on here, or Facebook. Let me know if you want to be a part of the give away. Also, please let me know if you want me to show you how to make them.





My first tea cup today is a very old Lefton. I love the pedestal base and the 40's looking flower design. I am hoping to put it on my website this week, a hard one to give up. I made a decision to thin out my tea cups. I think it is the hardest thing I have done in a while. I just have so much of everything, have to do something. Don't want you to think I am a "Hoarder." :)





The next cup is by Porcelain Treasures. It is a new cup given to me by my Mama. Aren't the feet cute?





My last cup simply reads "Made in England." It is very old and the cup is a fine china. Love the colors of the Roses.





Don't forget to visit Terri. That wonderful lady has been carrying this whole tea party for me when I just could not. I will never be able to thank her enough for her kindness to me. Please pray for my Sophia, she is very ill, makes me so sad. It is a virus, so we have to wait it out. Wishing you a blessed Easter. Hugs, Martha

  4. Hello Martha,
    Your tea cups today are beautiful! I love each one.
    I am working on thinning my collection. And when I get a new cup, an old cup must go : )
    It is hard, but life is cruel...lol!
    I wish you a loving Easter.
    Hugs,
    Terri

  5. Gorgeous! It's a common problem, this thing we call hoarding! Tea cups have always been one of my 'one weaknesses'! That one with the feet is darling, and the last one with the pink roses......drooling over here! Now, that's a keeper! Xo

    Congrat's on winning Rhonda's sweet giveaway!
    You deserve it.

    Thinking of Sophia.....xo

  6. Hi Martha,
    I loved your footed teacup, so pretty and feminine! I'm also sharing a footed one this week.
    Accumulating too many china pieces at home becomes a problem, sooner or later, and I'm also going through it...
    I hope your little Sophia gets over that virus, soon.
    Happy Easter, dear Martha!
    Hugs

  8. Oh nooooo, Martha. Poor little Sophia. Oh, I'll pray she will get better SOON.

    Lovely cups.

    And yes, put my name in that ol'hat for the giveaway. Thanks, Martha. Susan

  9. Hello Martha,
    I want you to know that I'm still thinking about you and hoping you are doing well and now I will also try to send Sophia warm and gentle thoughts. Those rosy tea cups are so lovely. I was telling Terri that I ignore mine and think of them as URCs (ubiquitous rosy cups...lol) But now I will take a closer look at my collection of URCs because I'm really starting to get a better appreciation of them. Huggs to you dear Martha and I would love to be included in your give-away. Actually, I think it's time for a give-away of my own very soon. I'll for sure let you know when I get my act together. Blessings and huggs. :)

  19. My new working schedule has made it hard for me to link up to parties - I cannot access the linky at work! I am so glad to join you and Terri this morning! Gorgeous teacups, amazing giveaway and will definitely pray for Sophie - the virus' that have gone around this season have been rough! Hope she'll recover quickly,
    Hugs,

  22. Dear Martha,
    The 4-feet tea cup from England is very nice. Usually 4-feet cups are made in Japan.

    I hope Sophia gets better soon.

    Sending all the positive energy to her.

    Happy Easter!
