My 4th Teacup Tuesday

Hello everyone,
I hope that you all had a nice weekend; Ours was quite pleasant. We spent some time visiting with old friends( which was great fun), worked in the garden (not so much fun as satisfying),slept late(heavenly) and basically just relaxed (wonderful).

Once again I am participating in Martha and Terri's Teacup Tuesday(Just hit on Martha's name to get to the link of participants). Since I'm more rested than usual and definitely a bit mellow I thought today would be a good day for pink roses, and both these cups have them. The one shown above even has one inside the cup.

Nothing real fancy. I purchased it at an auction just because I liked the flowers. The markings are on the saucer only and say Orleans - Z. S. & C - Bavaria.

This one also was an auction purchase, I thought the roses were just so pretty.

The markings read - Made in China.

Well that's all I have to show you today - Thank you so much for dropping by - see you on your blog.

...And in the sweetness of friendship,

Let there be laughter and sharing of pleasure... Kahil Gibran

Hugs,
Penny

chapeau

Hello everyone,
Since Memorial Day has traditionally been the day to bring out the white shoes and summer attire I thought I'd show you a few pictures of my new "Chapeau" (that's French for hat, in case you didn't know). Teehee

Well it's not new - I got it last year and it had a rather dorky, disgusting band of seashells on it.

So I fixed it up Pellie style and now I'm ready to start the summer- Pretty hat, dainty purse & Foster Grants. LOL! What more could an old lady like me need.
Hugs,
Penny

Teacup Tuesday

Hello Everyone,
Hope you are all having a wonderful day. Welcome to my 3rd Teacup Tuesday.

Like I said earlier I never thought I'd have a teacup collection. This first cup is one I bought at an auction and the paint is slightly worn and there were a few small hairline cracks in it. So I turned it into a very pretty Victorian style centerpiece with ribbons and roses. After ten years of using it as such, the glue I used to hold the cup to saucer just let go - so I cleaned out the flowers and the styrofoam and was going to make a bird feeder for my yard. When Sir Knight read that hot milk will make those small hairline crack unnoticeable. So I cleaned it up real good to remove all the tea stains and then did the milk thing and though its not perfect it is good enough to show off in my now growing collection
I love the blues, yellows and gold mixed with the pinks.

It is Old Royal China, England. The company established in 1848, but I'm not sure how old this particular cup is
My second cup is actually part of a snack set which I bought at an auction. I have 4 cups but only one plate. Last summer while out to a flea market - I found a bowl in the same pattern - so, of course I had to bring it home with me.

The bottom reads Bouquet by Shafford 9150.

Here again I like the blues and lavenders and how they make make those pink roses pop.

Well that's it for today. Thank you for coming by. Have a great time visiting all the other teacup collectors.

Hugs,
Penny

Hazardous ManCat Monday

Hello evfurryone,

Genghis here again. The temperatures turned so hot, it is really unbearable for a spoiled kitty like me to venture outside. So I decided to stay in today and try and help Sir Knight & Pellie.
But Pellie is so hyper - all she keeps muttering is that she is so behind schedule - she'll never catch up. Well I really couldn't tell you if she is or isn't behind; I can however, tell you she is bordering on being MAD, and her weird actions have turned me into a a basket case.

Seriously, do I look happy? Instead of sitting in this basket I should be using it as a helmet. At a moments notice you may have to duck and cover today. Besides what she is throwing in a pile to throw away - you'll never believe this she is building a pile of stuff to go downstairs in the annex.
I thought she said she was going to clean it up - not fill it up.

I thought she had the upstairs shed/ craft room all cleaned up the way she wanted - but nope- she has the whole thing all messed up again moving things around and making things from the projects Sir Knight and I made last week. Its so messy here in the shed that it isn't safe for man nor beast.

I have one question. Do any other humans make big messes while they try to straighten thing up? Sir Knight couldn't or wouldn't give me an answer on this one. I don't remember the garage ever looking this bad when he cleaned it - maybe it's just a girl thing.

I think I'll go hide for away. I'll visit evfurryone later when the computer isn't in a war zone.

Purrs,
Genghis

Attention! ManCat Working.

Hello evfurryone,

Genghis here. Since Pellie had been hurting real bad we haven't been on the computer much lately.

That doesn't mean I have been loafing - Nope on the contrary - I've been busy helping Sir Knight.

On the 14th of this month, we had a terrible storm and our town had lots of flash flooding. We didn't have too much water in the basement ( we did have to go down and mop up what we did get) even though we had a big puddle in the yard as you can see in the picture.


On Tuesday Sir Knight and I planted our vegetable garden, I had to snoopervise and give my approval to 5 tomatoe plants and 6 green pepper plants, a whole bag of tiny onions and a package of beets. Yulk! I don't eat stuff like that. Can you believe it he didn't plant any nip for me.

Then on Wednesday I played outside a lot while Sir Knight got the noisey riding thing out and cut all the grass down. Then he did something real strange he put a can full of cement in the ground around a pole in the yard and then cut the pole down. Weird!

Yesterday and today we worked in the garage building stuff Pellie wanted to use in the craft room. She is trying to get it prettied up for some kind of party, and has been a real slave driver. Then if we managed to get it right, we have to sand it up and paint it. But sometimes Pellie says one thing, thinks another; and confuses us so then we get it wrong and have to rework and redo the whole project. Sometimes I wonder where her mind goes and if she misses it, because she can give really strange directions some times. It's a good think Sir Knight is so understanding of her on those really weird days.


All this fresh air has me all tuckered out by evening and all I want to do is relax and nap.
So what am I doing up? - I don't know! - but I was missing all of you guys, and I thought I better post a bit of a catch up - so you don't think I'm not around. Now back to my nap.

Purrs,
Genghis
