Roses and Tea Cups, My Very Own Bed and Breakfast

Welcome!!

Today, I will be sharing 2 tea cups in my Tea Cup Collection.....

But first, I want to Thank Beverly and Gloria, over at Across The Blvd.,  for choosing my post, A Few Seasonal Wreaths, as one of their features from The Welcome Spring Link Party!
Thanks so much, Beverly and Gloria!!

I collect a LOT of things and Tea Cups are one of those things that just pulls at my heart strings!!

And honestly, I do not know why because I grew up without Grandmothers in my life who would have had pretty tea cups and my mother did not own any tea cups because she considered them to be impractical..........

I started collecting tea cups a few years ago when I began going to yard sales, flea markets and estate sales.......

Today I want to share 2 of these beauties ........

A round table has replaced the Tree that I decorated for Christmas and Valentine's Day in the corner in the Dining Room ....
I have 2 Tea Cups displayed on this table.....
Also on the table are 2 picture frames displaying vintage photos and 2 of my Thomas Kinkade Pink Ladies........
The first tea cup........
Has a pretty rose pattern....
I bought this at Salvation Army for $1.00!!
 Don't you just love the rose pattern on the saucer????

The other tea cup also has lovely rose painted on it....
I love the gold trim on both the tea cup and the saucer.....
I bought 6 of these lovely tea cups and saucers at a church Flea Market.....
 Aren't these pretty rose buds??????
I also want to point out the pretty floral pattern on the vintage lamp......
I bought this vintage lamp in Volunteer's of America Thrift Shop for $5.00 a few years ago....
  I hope you enjoyed taking a closer look at  these 2 stunning tea cups....
  And I hope you will be back to visit again soon.......

And thanks to those who took the time out of their busy day to spend a little bit of time with me!!

  1. Dear Debbie:
    I enjoyed seeing all your pretty Victorian items. I see Victorian is your passion and the teacups look pretty mixed in with those items! Thanks for sharing.

  2. Love, love, love the rose tea cups. And the detail on some of them - amazing.
    Hope you are getting some spring weather in NEPA. We are finally getting some in South Jersey.

  4. Pretty teacups. I think they are fun to use.. That is a beautiful lamp and such a take away at $5.00.

  5. What treasures you've found! The lamp is beautiful, and the teacups are just lovely. Roses are dear to me. When I was a small child in Kentucky, our neighbor gave me bouquets of her roses for my birthday in May, and we never missed a "Run for the Roses" 🏇telecast. A quilt cross-stitched with pink roses made by my Mother graces my bed. 🌹
    I too display old photos and your frames are very unique. Your posts are so enjoyable!

  6. Debbie, thank you for sharing your lovely things with us! I'm so glad you don't share your mother's opinion of teacups as being "impractical!"

  9. Awe, I love your tea cups sweet lady. A pretty tea cup always brings me a smile. I love a cup of hot tea at times. Most often it's when I am alone and feeling just a tad like I need to pamper myself. LOL! Love your treasures. Hugs and blessings, Cindy

  14. What a bargain your $1 tea cup find. I have been out two afternoon tea in London twice this week, something you may have enjoyed too. A good cuppa, with the right China mugs is one of life's great pleasures. Your lamp is a perfect addiction, you have such a charming collection.
    Have a lovely weekend Debbie!

  15. I'm also a Debbie and I dabble in lots of things too...love your blog name! The tea cups are lovely and would bee perfect at my upcoming Alice in Wonderland theme vintage iced tea party. I went around to Salvation Army and St Vincent de Paul stores to find tea cups and luncheon plates as favors. One set looks like your first cup, and I also scored the matching tea pot. So far I've only posted the invitation as to not spoil the surprises for my guests. I'm also working today on making tiered towers and other decorations by repurposing old China pieces. I think you'd fit right in at this My Favorite Things Party. You r welcome to follow along.

  16. I have a teacup collection and adore it! Love these two as well. And sooooo cheap?! That's the best kind of collecting, when you can get them for a song. And the lamp is perfect with them! Thanks for sharing.
