Tea Cup Tuesday Easter Swap!

Welcome to Tea Cup Tuesday!
Today I am sharing two beautiful cups that I received in tea cup swaps! Last week I shared the cup I received from dear sweet Martha (my partner in Tea Cup Tuesday) as well as the baskets and goodies I was lucky to receive from her and Sylvia. During the week I posted what was in the blue wrapping paper from Terri (see that post here).

This first cup was a swap gift from Terri G at Terri Gordon Designs. I asked for a cup Marie Antoinette would love, and she really took that to heart as you can see from the photo above. Isn't it gorgeous???

It sports an elegant loop handle with a slight spur.

The cup is generously shaped and the insides is decorated beautifully!

I adore the pinks and the blues! I love the spray of roses in the bottom.

The handle and as well as the edges of this cup are trimmed in gold.

The plate is beautifully detailed with flowers and scroll work, even a shell design!
Terri, Thank you so very much for gracing me with this beautiful cup! I was so thrilled to see it in all it's splendor!

The second cup comes from Sylvia at Sylvia's Simple Life
She sent me such a lovely basket of goodies, as I showed in my last post. I was so thrilled to open the large basket she sent filled with lovely gifts!
Today I am sharing the spoons she sent me as well.

This cup is simply lovely! The color is a pale peach, not too often seen.

I love the gold trim, and especially the ring of gold and black....very dramatic on a simply beautiful cup!

The bottom of the cup has a pretty poesy in it!

I love the gold design around the plate and inside the rim of the cup.

She also blessed me with a set of silver spoon, engraved with a B....and I choose to say they stand for BEAUTY! They are really lovely spoons and I am enjoying using them with my tea.
Thank you so much Sylvia! I love this cup, the spoons and all you sent!

Both of the cups above are Paragon cups,a fine china company, and one I love to collect because of their quality, and the shapes and beautiful patterns they have.

I have been thinking about the friendship forged here in blogland...and since participating in these swaps and others, I am truly amazed at the generosity of those I have been blessed to interact with online. The kindness is so heartwarming! My only sorrow is that I am only able to visit about 20 blogs a day, and since I have over 900 followers and many, many other blogs I follow, it seems a mere drop in the bucket! If I could, I would visit each and everyone of you! You are all so special, so creative, and so caring! What an amazing world blogland can be!

Just know I appreciate all of you.
I appreciate these lovely cups given with a loving thought!
I am excited to use them, and I will treasure them!

Hugs,
Terri
