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

Hi Martha,
I never liked that commercial because it meant the end of summertime.
I have a pink Colclough very much like your pretty yellow one. Thanks for sharing and the Lord bless your son as he works under such conditions.

Blessings,
Sandi

I like the unmarked teacup the best and if you ever tire of the butterfly pin - send it flying over to me Martha, it's gorgeous.

Hi Martha,
oh my, time is running so fast. I can remember so well, how little Sophia started in her life. So much trouble and sorrows and now she is a (very) young lady. All your grandkids are lovely. I wish for all a good start in the new school/preschool time with lots of friends and fun. And all the best for your son and for Terri. Your tea cups are again stunning.
Thank you for sharing this delights and for hosting this sweet event.
Best greetings, Johanna

All's okay here, across the country from you but I, too, wish it were time for your son to COME HOME.

Wow--school starts so early where you live! Kids don't go back here until after Labor Day. Your teacups are lovely this week--my favorite is the hand painted one with the purple flowers. I hope your son can come home soon!

Dear Martha, I know you must be on edge with your Son working that fire. I have him in my prayers. You really have the touch for display.
Ever do window display? you could.
