THE BIRTHDAY, THE CROWN, THE TEA CUPS!

Hello Ladies: Welcome to Tea Cup Tuesday No. 135! I hope you are all had a great week and are ready to start our week sharing our amazing tea cups. Sophia celebrated her first birthday this weekend. She was being very cordial to everyone. I think she loved being the center of attention. She was held mostly by her Daddy, so she was happy. Her Uncle Kyle, who if you ever watched "The Seinfeld Show", we are sure he has "The Kavorka". He can attract any woman or child with just his smile. He was lucky enough to hold her attention the longest during the party. Remember I told you I was making her a crown? It came out very cute. She loved it for all of 15 seconds. :) It never stayed on her long enough for me to get a picture. She looked very cute and the family was all happy that she was in our lives. This crown was very easy and fun to make. I have sold a few on my website. They are a little on the costly side, but well worth it. I have posted some pictures at the bottom of the post for your to see!

I have some fun cups to show you this week. I want to start with the Chintz gold and rose Paragon. This yellow cup is stunning and is one of my all time favorites. I love the gold pattern on the inside of this set.

This next cup is a Hammersley, from England. I love the perfect buttercups flowers on this beauty.

Last but not least is this Lefton. I just think this cup is perfect. Love the high pedestal and the very ornate handle. The roses are all handpainted. I have to tell you, tea taste better in this cup. When I drink from it, I know I am having a great cup of tea! Things like this just happen with beautiful cups! :)





Well here is our Mr. Linky for this week. Looking forward to taking a peek at all your beautiful treasures. If you decide to try and make a crown, email me, if you get stuck.

Hope you have a wonderful week! Blessings and lots of hugs, Martha

TEA CUP TUESDAY AND I AM ON TIME!

Hello Ladies: Welcome to Tea Cup Tuesday No. 134! I am working on getting this post up early this week. I have been so bad the last couple of weeks, I wanted to get my act together for this week's party. Thank God for Terri, she always has it together. Hope you have all had a wonderful week. It was 101 where I live today! Someone did not get the message that it is Autumn. I think the weather as well as I, just have been running late these last couple of weeks.

I have some fun cups to share with you this week. My first is this wonderful orange, Lusterware, cup with dessert plate. The cup was made in Japan. On the inside of the cup is a bright, white, Lusterware, just perfect for October. It is October already, what happen to this year? As you can see, I own the Tea pot as well as, the sugar & creamer.

My next cup is also made in Japan. This one has the great flower design. It is also Lusterware.





I am making this post short so I can be on time. Here is Mr. Linky for this week. Lady Terri is continuing to educate us on stamps and of course beautiful tea cups, so don't forget to visit her.

I have to show you this picture of my Sophia. She is going to be one this week. I have to take 30 pictures, before I can get one good one because she moves around so fast. I think I need a faster camera. I am working on a crown for her. I show you a picture when it is finished. I have never made one so small so I hope it works. Have a wonderful week dear friends.

Hugs, Martha

TEA CUP TUESDAY AND ANOTHER WINNER!

Hello Ladies: Welcome to Tea Cup Tuesday No. 133! I hope you have all had a wonderful week. I was lucky enough to go to Lake Arrowhead on a Retreat. Retreats are wonderful, so relaxing. It was my birthday on Sunday and I celebrated all day long. My dear friends celebrated with me in Lake Arrowhead and my family celebrated with me when I got home. I felt like a party animal all day! Among the fun items I received was a I-phone. You can imagine the frustration, when I had to ask Noah how to answer the phone. I think the phone is just a little too smart. I have been struggling with the phone for the last 48 hours. Just trying to make simple phone calls. You just have to talk to the phone and it will send a text for you. (Don't tell anyone, but it is to smart for me!) I hope it will get better.

I have some wonderful cups to share with you this week. This first is this all gold Bavarian Tea Cup. I just love how it looks.

My second cup is Hart China. I have never heard of the company before, but I have had this cute little number for years. The cup features these amazing orange roses with a great shape cup. I am not a big orange fan, but this time of year, I think they look wonderful.

The last cup I am sharing this week is a pot belly shape cup by Taylor and Kent Bone China from England. Love the shape of this one.

Here is Mr. Linky for this week. I hope you are still enjoying the fun of sharing tea cups.





Before I forget, Mom Wald, informed me that she has won my give away before and feels guilty that she won again. So, Noah, pick another name this week. Our winner is . . .Michele @ The Nest at Finch Rest. Thank you Mom Wald for your honesty, I am sure Michele is happy today. Please send me your address Michele so I can pack up your new tea cup.

Have a great week. I know I am late again, but, I was away and it was good! Hugs, Martha
