LAST WEEK TO ENTER GIVE AWAY & MORE TEA CUPS!




Hello Ladies and welcome to Tea Cup Tuesday No. 237!  Hope your week was good.  I am glad to report that my son, appears to be on slowly on the mend, thank God. I also want to thank you for all your prayers for our family. My beautiful, daughter, Vanessa, celebrated a birthday this week.  She is such a treasure, I thank God for her daily.  Grandchildren had a great week of school. No one reported any mishaps, that always does a Grandma's heart good. 



Still been busy with the house "clean up."  I am almost done with the kitchen and will be heading into the Master Bath next. On the way, I have been changing to Fall Decor.  Feel real good about this "new" me.  If you visit my home, only I can tell how much I have removed.  This week I only took one load to the thrift store, should have done more.  I found so many new things in my kitchen I just forgot about. It was like shopping, only at home.  Only one item I came back with me this week. It was this great antique French Iron Basket from the thrift store. Of course, I did fill it with vintage lace that I found that day too!  (I don't count lace.)  You can never have enough vintage lace.  Really, that is a unwritten law, isn't? Love the Country French look, who knew a Mexican could have that kind of taste? So, out came all the Hens for the kitchen.  It puts big smile on my face when I walk in there. It was time for a change.



This week I am sharing this beautiful Chintz, Paragon.  One of my all time favorite cups and you can see why. 




Cup No. 2 is Hammersley.  This one is covered in Buttercups. They make such amazing cups.




The last cup is again a Paragon.  Love the vivid colored Mums that decorate this great cup.  




I want to remind you that this is the last week for you to enter my give-away.  I will have Sophia pick a winner for next week.  All you have to do is be a follow and leave a comment here and/or on Facebook.  Each comment gives you another chance at this fun cup. 




Please continue to pray for our friend Terri and her son, as well as my family.  It will be greatly appreciated. Have a wonderful September and good luck on the give away!

Sending hugs your way!  Martha

  11. I agree. Vintage lace does not count as too much stuff. It doesn't break nor take up much space. Love your big hen.

  14. Martha, I love your beautiful cups! Sp pretty, and so is your beautiful,daughter!

    I pray that your son is restored to complete health.

    I adore the cup, but I am in the throes of scaling back some, and I am going to give my chance to another very lucky lady. It is so tempting because I adore china, but I am trying o be good! You are so sweet to do that.

  15. Hi Martha, Glad to hear the good news about your son. And Happy birthday to your granddaughter, she is lovely.
    I love your cups and would love to go in your giveaway, but I fear it is too far to expect you to send something so fragile, so best wishes to all who have entered for your giveaway. Someone is going to be very lucky.

  16. Lovely teacups. They are all gorgeous! The basket with the lace is very pretty--I can see why you couldn't pass it up. Have a great week! :)

  17. Oooh, love that teacup you are giving away! I definitely think that lace doesn't really "count." And I think the reason to de-clutter is to make room for the things that we really love. (I hope that doesn't make me an enabler! :) ) Your teacups are gorgeous, especially that first one.

    I will continue to pray for you and your family.

  18. It's hard to say but that cup and saucer with the gold filigree pattern is my favorite! You have so many lovely patterns!

  19. Well done, Martha - your clean-up is inspiring - I agree with you lace-you can never have too much! I'm glad your son is healing! My son just got a new job - an answered prayer and he's in contract to buy his first house! God has been so gracious! So delighted to join your party - I do appreciate you hosting and sharing,
    Kathy

  20. Good morning from NY!

    As soon as I saw the roosters, I thought French Country. :)
    I think you do an outstanding job decorating. I wish I had an eye for decorating like you do.

    Love the giveaway cup! Thanks so much for hosting this giveaway.

  22. Hi Martha,
    It has been a while since I was in blogland and certainly since I joined you in the Teacup Party. I do not seem to be able to upload both your badges? It is in a post of mine in 2012, so will see if that works, but maybe you could give me a tip?!
    Such beautiful teacups on show again, awesome. Forever I wonder where you keep them all and how you decide to drink tea from every day? ;-))
    Thanks, Martha!
    Have a happy day!
