Happy Holidays
It is that time of the week again, where Martha and I show off our tea cups!Today's cup is totally different than any I have ever owned. First of all it is not from England.
It is from China. My daughter and I bought a set of 6 because we thought they were so unusual and because my daughter says they make a great prop for her Anime costumes. I think they are very festive cups! All silver, except for the inside of the cup which as you can see is cream colored. I do love the roses embossed around the saucer and cup. It looks very elegant.
This is a busy week for many of us who celebrate the season. I have been in my art room creating gifts for family. I feel a little like one of Santa's elves in there...quietly cutting, painting, sewing, glittering......! I have made more Holiday Vintage Banners, one is partially shown in the photo above. You can click on the name to go right to the video tutorial or look to my sidebar where I have links for 4 free tutorials.Now for my Giveaway announcement!
To celebrate the holiday and New Year I am
giving away the Vintage Holiday Banner in the photo as well as a lovely pack of ephemera and embellishments, lace and ribbon!
It will be a gorgeous pack of goodies!
The date of the giveaway is December 31st!
(I will post a picture of the full giveaway next week)

I would love to win the banner and I have already watched the tutorial video and plan to make one myself next year.
ReplyDeleteThe teacup is one like I have never seen before and it does fit well with an Anime theme. The teacup is beautiful.I wish there were other descriptive words for things in our language, but most often "lovely" and "beautiful" are the best words to use. I think "uniquely beautiful" are the words I would use for the teacup you have shown, and I would be proud to own it~
Hi Terri, i like this wonderful teacup. Please enter me in your contest. Have a wonderful christmastime and a happy new year.
ReplyDeleteSorry my english is not so good.
Have a nice day

The teacup is beautiful, Terri! Thank you for the lovely image you shared, also. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
ReplyDeleteTerri--the link to your email address doesn't work on my computer, and so I don't have your address to send an email, but would you let me know where you got the silver bells you put on your banner? I've been looking for bells like that for a couple of years, but all I've been able to find are the common kind of little bell, not the vintage-looking ones. My email is on my blog--thank you so much!
ReplyDeletePlease enter me in your fabulous giveaway!
ReplyDeleteYour teacups are quite unusual but very festive for this time of year!
Hi Miss Terri, I adore your blog and your work! I always enjoy seeing all your teacups. If mine weren't mostly packed in boxes I would love to share photos with you. What an amazing collection. Merry Christmas! Becs

Hi Terri:
ReplyDeleteThat is the most interesting tea cup I have ever seen! Truly a treasure. Makes me want to sip some tea right now. I am loving the pictures of the snow.

Happy New Year!

Terri~I am fairly new to your blog, but have been reading and enjoying it for several months now. I love, love teacups! I can remember, as a girl, staying with my grandmother and we had tea every afternoon at around four. She had a collection of beautiful teacups...about 50 of them on display in her dining room. I got to pick which one I wanted to use each day. What a treasured memory.
ReplyDeleteWhat a generous giveaway!! Please put my name in for a chance.
Happy New Year!
hugs, Sue K
Hi Terri
ReplyDeleteLong time, no see! Hope you are well and had a very Happy Christmas.
I would love to take part in your giveaway draw please. Fingers crossed!
