Stay Calm & Put the Kettle on.
I love yellow & white tea-cups.
Mixing and matching cups and saucers makes a pretty display.
I found myself 'homing' a new one today. I was shopping for a jacket and somehow...some way...this came home with me, too.
I was tidying up and dusting since company is coming for the weekend.
It's hard not to start playing a bit.
Do you pick a colour scheme and then mix up the patterns?
For company I will use my white dishes but I love drinking tea or coffee out of these lovelies.
I came across Calaus on my walk today. He was very busy chasing shadows and gave me only a moment of his time.

This is Bone China, Hammersley & Co. Made in England.

Somehow, I think that is about all anyone gets from this guy.
Remember to leave a comment if you are interested in my give-away.
The little tea-cup is called Glengarry Thistle and it is made in England. It is in perfect condition.
Draw is Monday.
Good luck!

ReplyDeleteYou have a wonderful collection. Our little cottage is filled with mix and match. Your new set is really lovely and I can see why it just had to go home with you.
ReplyDeleteHave a very nice weekend with your company.

That Glengarry thistle cup would be very popular out here in Stormont, Dundas & Glengarry! :)

Hi darling, I love your teacups, I can see why it had to come home with you, love the tray they're sitting on.. Kitty is adorable.. hugs ~lynne~
ReplyDeleteExquisite kitty! Knows he's handsome, doesn't he.
ReplyDeleteI am only doing mix and match with my tea things since you introduced it to us. Now, when I set with all matching cups and saucers, it looks old fashioned in a dowdy, dull way. Kind of like an old prissy lady with no imagination. The variety gives it a more vibrant, creative, and younger flair.
You always have the prettiest tea cups! Of course, there is always room for one more. :)

Hey catlover!
ReplyDeleteI live in the distric of dishes/china of Sweden called Rörstrands fabric ( Ittala) in Lidköping, Västergötland. I will send you some lovely pictures from my old dishes when I have photographed some!

I only have one cup and saucer that my Aunt gave me when I was little and the cup is Apricot Rose Gladstone and the saucer is Glengarry Thistle. I hope to collect a few special cups and saucers because they really create a gentle mood and an elegant setting. I worked in a consignment store and we had a glass tower of different cup and saucer mates, and I'd often admire them and arrange them. I've enjoyed your site being both a lover of beauty and cats.
