Tea Cup Tuesday and Giveaway!!!


Hello All!
Welcome to Tea Cup Tuesday!

Today I am sharing a beautiful holiday tea cup,

AND

I am announcing a Giveaway and sale!

Yay!
Tis the season to give! 


This is such a festive cup!
She sits very high on her pedestal base.
My daughter is gifting this sweet cup to a tea loving friend of hers...
Tea cups make great gifts!


 The colors are that of Christmas....
green, red (o.k. pink..lol) and gold.


The handle is a lovely with it's gold trim.
Chamomile tea anyone?


The bouquets of roses are quite lovely, almost a Tole
(folk art) painted look.
Especially the golden yellow rose and the leaves.


This cup was created by Lefton China and is hand painted.

And now for my Giveaway and Sale!

My first giveaway is 

a FREE  online  Domino Book Class!
 Hosted at the fabulous
Creative Workshops !


 "Teetotaler" book above

and here below, "FLY" side view 

I am having a sale on this class too,
so everyone gets something : )   The best price this year!

$25! $45
a good sale price for the holidays!
(This class has 9 clear videos tutorials showing  4 different mixed media techniques...
...and you have access for at least a year! Wow!) 

My second Giveaway is this Christmas Domino book!
"Peace on Earth"

I finally created a Christmas Domino Book,
It was really enjoyable to do!
Above is the front view of an opened domino book, there is one domino each for the front and back cover
A folded page between the covers creates the "book".



And here is the back view....
This tiny bottle brush tree was green,
until I followed my own viedo tutorial and bleached it!


and for my dear tea loving friends...
THIS IS MY THIRD GIVEAWAY!


This vintage English tea cup by Mayfair!
This was the closest to red and green I could find in my china cabinet.
I will highlight her next week.

There may be one more prize yet...depends on time...

If you love any of these items, leave a comment saying you would like a chance to win! Make sure you leave contact info, or hit the e-mail me button on the right side of my blog and let me know privately.


I have loved sharing Tea Cup Tuesday with all of you!
December is our last month of 2012 to host it.... so...
Shall we do another year of it????
I say YES!
What do you say Martha?

Thank you all so very much for all the joy you bring with you when you visit! I appreciate each of you and your comments....as they let me know you were by, and that something interested you.
Yay!

 If you would like to join in, just create a post with a tea cup in it that you would like to share...it can be a real tea cup, a child's tea cup, a painting of a tea cup, a poem about a tea cup or tea....a pillow with a tea cup on it...a collection of antique cups....
What ever it is, as long as it is a tea cup : )
(then link up below)
Martha and I happen to love them!
and you!

    I wish I had teacups to enter your show and tell. They don't seem to last long at mu house. It's really weird how they all chip and break. It's a teacup curse. :)
    But I do enjoy coming and looking at your pristine cups. They are each so amazingly beautiful. Thanks for taking the time to share them.

    I thought I had posted a comment on the Domino book giveaway, but don't see it now. Terri, I signed up for the Domino Book class on the Shabby Cottage web site. I recently moved to NC and haven't done any art work since May when the whole moving, selling, packing, etc. process began. I really miss my making books. Your class will be an inspiration for me. I just love the Christmas Domino book you created and hope to do justice to your class with one of my own creations. My mind was blown away when I saw this book. I sure hope to win it. Thanks so much for offering it.
    Cheers, Lena
