Greetings to all the Teacup lovers visiting for another Teacup Tuesday!
Thanks go to sweet MARTHA and sweet TERRI for hosting this weekly Tea party! Click on either of their names to be wisked off to see more pretty teacups 'n' things :-)
A couple weeks ago I received a note from a very dear lady whom I met as an ebay buyer many years past and who has long ago become a treasured friend. She has always blessed me with her generous kindness & grace, advice, and precious time and has helped me get thru some trying times.
Her note said that I had a special package on the way with some teacups she knew I'd like. Well . . . let me tell you what was in that package! Eight Shelley Chintz teacups and saucers in different patterns and a darling pink depression child's tea set! Be still my heart! I carefully reached into the now Lifetime supply of packing peanuts :-) and brought out each of the bubblewrapped pieces as I carefully matched up the dainty cups and saucers, gasping at their beauty! True teacup lovers Heaven! I would love to mention her name but she would not want that ~ that's just the way she is! Giving from her heart which is as big as all Texas!

I share 2 of them with you this week and will save the others for another Teacup Tuesday! This one is called MAYTIME and has the cutest pink apple or cherry blossoms. and budlettes. There are slightly scalloped edgings on the cup and saucer both and golden trimmings for an elegant chic touch!
Makers marks on bottom of cup and saucer.
The next set is in the same design shape and the pattern name is CountrySide. See the little wildflowers and berries . . . bluebells, marguerite, buttercups, sweet wild clover, raspberries, violets and violas!
SO SWEET!!
In my previous TCT post I showed you one of my handmade TeaTime Teddy Bear Pincushions and it is currently listed on ebay! Please take a peek by just clicking HERE to see her!
A Big bouquet of thank you's to everyone visiting for Teacup Tuesday today . . . plus an extra long stem rose for my sweet anonymous friend :-)
Hugs and Smiles,
