THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR!

Hi Ladies!  Welcome to Tea Cup Tuesday No. 234! Hope you have had a good week and that all is well. My week has been emotionally on the hard side. Heard from my son a couple of times.  He is at the big fire in Northern California.  He is so tired and hungry as well.  He had his birthday on the fire line. It is just time for him to come home. 

Do you remember the old commercial for Staples?  "It is the most wonderful time of the year."  They use to play it right before school starts. They always made me laugh.  So much truth in that little commercial. Our Maya started Junior High today and Noah will start First Grade next week.  Even little Sophia will be starting Preschool a couple of days a week.  As you get older you realize just how fast time goes by.   Our family had a wonderful time with the Grandchildren this summer, but it is time to get back to a normal schedule for all of us. 

I am sharing more yellow tea cups this week, starting with this Art Deco design by Meito China, Made in Japan.  It is a lovely hand painted cup with a white, lusterware finish on the inside and a pale yellow on the outside. 

The next cup is also hand painted.  It is just lovely, with purple flowers.  It has a mark, I do not recognize, maybe you will.  It is just beautiful. 

My last cup is a Colclough, with a gold chintz design on a cream color cup.  The gold is so vivid the pictures do not do it justice.  

Heard from Terri, she is still slowly improving.  Please continue to pray for her and her son. Thank you for your visits and faithfulness to this party each week.  

Sending hugs your way!  Martha
