Tea Cup Tuesday Romance

Hello All!
Happy Tea Cup Tuesday!!!
Martha and I are happy once again to reach into our china cabinets and share with you!

Today's post is about Romance. Since Valentine's Day is just around the corner, I want to share with you things of a romantic nature. The first cup I would like to share with you is a cup that speaks romance! I found this cup at ABC carpet and home near Union Square in NYC a couple of years ago.

It has the most gorgeous colors, as well as an exquisite raised gold design and beautiful pink roses. It appears to be hand painted. A company called Meander BV created it.

The roses really are gorgeous in person.

This pink pennant is part of a Spring Joy Banner I created recently. I wanted to make a romantic Banner that speaks of joy. This is the first in three pennants, the others being the O and the Y. I have just posted a video tutorial for it on YouTube. I will share a secret...I made a rather funny boo boo during the taping but left it in because it was too funny, if you watch it, let me know if you notice what I said incorrectly! The girl image is from Paperwhimsy.

How about a pink romantic heart necklace?

Or a red romantic heart necklace?

My second cup is a little sweetie. She is so cute and she too is a very romantic cup with the lovely gold filigree and the pastel colored pansies.

The little handle has a dramatic angle to it.

When I bought it I had not checked to make sure the cup and saucer were of the same make. I just assumed they were. This cup taught me to always check both before buying. Truthfully though, I would have brought it home anyways! It was only $4!...and it is really lovely.

Here is a sentiment I found in a book
"How to Write Love Letters" by Michelle Lovric:

"Why did you let your eyes rest on me like that,
and smile at me with that smile,
and speak to me in that voice?
Now nothing can ever be the same again."

This is how I felt when I met my dear sweet man 23 years ago, and nothing has been the same since.....only it has been much better!

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog and sharing today with me.
It has been a pleasure! I love reading your comments!
