Teacup Tuesay


Hello everyone,

Guess what? It's Teacup Tuesday, with Martha and Terri

Back in early December before my lungs started to gurgle and froth, I went to an auction and managed to get this wonderful tea set. I use the word set loosely as it came with 9 cups saucers and cake plates as well as two creamers and sugar bowls. I'm not sure if it started life as a service for 10 or 12 and some piece have been lost over the years or why it is a service for 9 (to me that is a bit odd)

I loved it inspite of it's odd number of servings. Those white roses just kept calling to me - so how could I resist? - I couldn't so they all came home to live with me.


It is Queens Royal Bone China. Made in England and bears a crown logo. I really haven't had the energy to do much research on it - but I just had to share it with all of you, anyway.

Each cup of tea represent an imaginary voyage.

Thank you for sharing this voyage with me today.

Hugs,
Penny
