CELEBRATING FATHERS WITH TEA CUPS!



Hello Ladies and welcome to Tea Cup Tuesday No. 311!   Hope you had a wonderful weekend celebrating the Father's in your life.  Our family was in the pool for the day with a wonderful barbecue.   It was over 100 degrees in Pasadena, it was hard to stay cool out side. 



I am going to share some vintage Father's Day cups today.   Father's Day is a mixed bag for me, we have wonderful fathers in the family, but mine has long since gone to be with the Lord.  He was a good man and I will never stop missing him.  He had the best smile.




Both these vintage cups are German.  Don't you just love the pink one?


I will not be posting next week, I plan to spend some time in San Francisco. You may have guessed I am a wreath lover.  This is a wreath I made a couple of years ago, still looks good!



My grandchildren have already begun to enjoy there summer, here they are in San Diego at Legoland! It is part of their "no bummer summer."  Times have changed, when I was a girl, many moons ago, one special trip was planned.  Now, these kids have endless special spots to travel to.  We will be traveling together to San Fransisco.  Have a wonderful week.  Stay cool!  Here are the parties I am joining this week.  Hugs, Martha

TEA CUPS AND GIANT ANTS!


Hello Ladies:  Welcome to Tea Cup Tuesday No. 310!  This week started out so normal, then the weekend changed all that.  I attended a baby shower for a dear friend, grandchildren spending the night, a little rain (in Los Angeles, it is know as Storm Watch.) Then across the country in Florida, we hear the unthinkable. Young people killed, parents waiting to hear if their child is dead or alive.  How do you live through that? My first thought is to take my entire family and bring them home to keep them safe.  However, I know I can't do that.  What can I do to guard my little grandchildren?  I can pray!  I can pray for the mothers and fathers, who await the news that their children are among the dead. What can we do?  We can pray!  We serve a great God, who hears our hearts and sees our tears.  We can ask for mercy and forgiveness, even when that is not our first thought or desire.  So I add my  prayers to the thousands, that the Lord will heal our land. 




This week also began the long sad journey of removing the dead Sycamore.  My backyard will never be the same.  It is about 1/2 down, very proud of Kyle, he has managed this very hard chore. Here is a picture of him doing a hard job for his mother.  


 I have to share a funny story before I show you a tea cup or two.  My little granddaughter was over and noticed the extremely large ants I placed on the coffee table for fun.  I wish I could have taken her picture, when she noticed them.  She thought they were real.  I thought her little eyes where going to pop out of her head.



This beauty is an Aynsley.  Look at that lovely Red, White  and Blue Crown Pin, love it!



This cup is from Germany, US Zone.  That little heart pin was made by me too!  Thanks for joining me this week.  Please feel free to share what ever you want us to see.  Here are the parties I will be joining this week.

TEA CUP TUESDAY NO. 309!



Hello ladies and welcome to Tea Cup Tuesday No. 309!  Hope you have all been well and that the weather has treated you alright.  We have been having beautiful days here.  I am in the middle of doing some major yard work.  We have a very old and very large Sycamore tree that has died.  My son is going to cut it down tomorrow.  I am so sad to see it go.  The back yard is going to look so different without it. 



Today I am sharing an Aynsley Tea Cup, perfect for the summer holidays





During June and July I decorate the house in Red, White and Blue colors.  It is perfect for the summer.





Please feel free to join the party.  I love to visit and catch up.  Last week, because of Memorial Day, I forgot to post.  "The old grey mare, she ain't what she use to be."  Here is a list of the parties I will be joining this week.   Hugs,  Martha
