Last week I shared with you my story of a dear friend who sent me a surprise package filled with an awesome collection of Shelley Chintz teacups and the sweetest child's pink depression teaset!! Click HERE to read all about it and see photos of Maytime and Country Side :-)

I am featuring 3 more today - 2 more next week and the child set too! This first one is so beautiful in blue and the pattern is called Blue Daisy of course! The base has a blue on blue ferny design and is covered in springtime daisies.

For sure you've heard the phrase that goes "Please don't pick the daisies" . . . . but I must show you part of my backyard garden this spring because I DID NOT pick the daisies last year and they reseeded a thousand fold! EEEK!! Be sure to deadhead :-)


This next teacup is demitasse size and is called Summer Glory! And that she IS with a soft yellow base and big heads of fluffy hydrangea in shades of lilac, blue, pink and white.

Isn't that sweet how they did the pattern name on the bottom :-)

This next selection is a gardeners dream and is called Rock Garden! See the garden walls of rock planted with pink roses, yellow and purple crocus, bluebells, anemone, violets, and buttercups. All the teacups have the most exquisite golden base and delicate handles adding even more the the beauty of each piece.


I am still in Teacup Heaven and all goosebumpley from receiving such a glorious gift!
And if you have not visited my bloggie before I must again show off this fabuloso giveaway I won over at sweet Denise's blog ALL OVER ROSES!

Is this not the most adorable Tea for One you've ever seen!! Click HERE to view the post about it and be sure to stop over and say Hi! Don't you think the roses look like a vintage Catherine Klein painting!

~TEACUP TUESDAY~A Dear Friends Gift

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,
