Hello All!
Welcome once again to Tea Cup Tuesday!
It has been quite the busy week here full of all kinds of creating.
My last post was a Mad Tea Party blog hop hosted by Vanessa at A Fanciful Twist. You may find it enjoyable to read and to see the whimsical table my daughter and I set. I even made the Mad Hatter's hat. I will share that in another post.
But today is for tea cups...so on we go to this weeks beauty!
Above you see one of my cups that I think is unique....at least a little.
Also, I am showing off a bit of vintage lace that I think has such a fab color of gray/green.
I know it looks a bit ratty, but I really love the color and texture as well as pattern.
This is one of the first tea cups I bought about 18 years ago.
I found it at an estate sale on my street. I was new to the neighborhood, and did not know the woman who passed on...only knew her to wave to as we walked by. When I went into her house for the sale, I was overwhelmed with a feeling of joy! The entire house felt so good, and I was sure this was the energy of the woman who lived there. So when I spotted this cup, it was like bringing home a treasure from a friends house! I brought home many items from that sale, and I really feel they have added to the joy in my home.
I love the gold trim. And I think it was only $5!
The flower is so pretty and seems to just flow around the cup. The leaves are an interesting shape as well.
I remember thinking what an odd shape for a handle....bat like even!
I thought the scalloped edge and the eyelets were beautiful.
This cup sits on a pedestal that also has eyelets.
Don't laugh, but I do not recognize this stamp! Is it HR or HHR?
I bet some of you know the maker.
I would really appreciate it if you could tell me : )
I covered this paper mache egg with a tissue paper transfer I created from an old French legal paper from the mid 1860s. I am still deciding what else I could do to it. You can view my newest free video on Tissue Paper Transfers by clicking on this LINK or going up the right hand side of my blog at the top and clicking on the picture of the tissue transfers.

Hugs,
Terri

I like the 'eyelet' cutouts...I do not have any teacups with that design :)

Oh How lovely Terri, I couldn't stop looking at the egg and lace. I would imagine you could decorate the egg like two half's as only you know how. The cup with it's beautiful lacing all of it's own is truly very beautiful I love the leaves on this very much and I really like the feeling you created of the lovely ladies house.

Hello, Terri, your teacup is very sweet. I do like the eyelet trim on the cup/saucer, and the delicate flower is so pretty. The handle is quite nicely shaped. I like the story about going into the woman's house and getting a happy feeling.
Who wouldn't like that beautiful domino book...your prizes are tip-top!
Enjoy the rest of happy June,
Hugs, Marianne

Hi Terri,
What a beautiful teacup! I love your presentation of it too with the old lace and that darling frenchy egg. The domino book is gorgeous and I adore the Eiffel Tower on it! Aqua is one of my favourite colours too so please put my name in on it.
I enjoyed your Mad Hatter Tea post too; very fun and imaginative! Thank you for your lovely post and Happy Tea Day!
Blessings,
Sandi

Love this cup with its interesting handle and eyelets! So pretty. Happy Tea Day!
The teacup is just so beautiful - I love the charming handle.
Thank you for hosting our tea party! Have a great week!

Teri, as ever you have captured joy in a post. The old lace, I believe is a tatted piece. I love the old tatted works especially since tatting is almost a lost art. I love the way you described the feeling of how the woman's energy makes her home a place of joy. The teacup is wonderful.
I would love a chance at the Domino Book, and I would love to learn how to make one myself!
What a pretty teacup! I love it!

Hi Terri
I loved your tea cup and your lovely creations, specially the papier maché egg.
Unfotunatelly I wasn't able to link up with this new type you introduced.
I'll keep trying, though.
Hugs
That is a lovely teacup. The eyelets are so pretty and I don't think I've seen a teacup with eyelets on the foot of the cup, or such a unique handle.
Your domino book is great - I love the Eiffel Tower and blue color.
Dear Terry
I can´t send my link...perhaps I don´t know how do it!
I have tried do it lots of times but it is imposible I´m sorry...
Visiting you is always a pleasure
Love
What a stunning space you got here! Beautiful tea cup and saucer. Everything looks so pretty here. Now, added a link here. Hope to see you on my blog:)
The cup and domino are both beautiful. You are so gifted with the art you create with these dominoes. I love the Eiffel Tower. I am participating with a tea strainer. It's a work of art too, I think you will like it. And also with a vintage rhubarb sherbet for a lovely ladies' tea.
I never met a tea cup I didn't like and have seen some beautiful ones on your blog.
The domino book is, like all your art, exceptional. I can't imagine working on something that small.
I always enjoy your beautiful teacups and this one with the story of how you acquired it is very special.
Yes, please enter me in your Domino book give. It is charming and so blue tres chic.
Happy to hear you have enjoyed your June. Now to enjoy your July...
Your teacups are so beautiful! Oh, please enter me in this wonderful giveaway.
Oh, I love your Paris-inspired domino book so much! Thank you for including me in a chance to win it!

Terri -
What a wonderful teacup set. It is so delicate looking and I really love that handle, very unusual! Your domino book is a dream. Such a lovely piece of art. GORGEOUS!

Hi Terri! I adore your teacup. The lace style cutout on bottom and saucer is adorable. The lace is pretty too. I viewed the tea party and mad hatter. That was so imaginative and , my guess, you worked very hard. Totally worth it. Have a great week.
Thank you, Terri, for welcoming me to Tea Cup Tuesday! I thoroughly enjoyed it. I am learning so much and love the prettiness. Your eyelet cup is a beauty. I imagine people have all sorts of books to find more out about these things. I loved your egg, too. I made some similar ones. It was perfect, sitting in the sweet cup!
Thank you for stopping by my blog, too. When I am new at something, I really appreciate that. You are a dear!
Hugs,
Suz

I think your teacup is lovely...how special for you to have it to treasure. I'm sure your neighbor would be pleased!
what a joy it is to view your artwork. so beautiful. I don't know if I could pick a favorite, but if I had to, it might be the domino book.
