Tea Cup Tuesday-Lovely Rosina and Giveaway


Hello All!
Welcome to Tea Cup Tuesday!
I am thrilled to be with you all today!
My life has been very full,
and I am thankful.

 I receive such kind messages and comments
and I truly want to respond to every single one.
Please know I am thankful for the time you take to connect.

When I returned home from Art and Soul I had over 1,000 e-mails!
Thank goodness 200 were from anonymous! lol!
I have blocked those from my comments here
as they have increased lately. 

 This week I am taking extra time to connect back to you all.  

The perfect helper for a busy life....is a cup of tea....
Wouldn't this cup just lift any one's spirit?


 I find life so full of opportunity...
So full of interesting things to learn about and try!
Do you ever feel the same?
And wish for more time to experience and explore?


Coming back from an art retreat...
I am so excited to draw and paint more.
Tea is my art room companion...
and I am always reaching for a pretty cup to drink from
during a break in my play/work.

Today I am working on some fabric ATCs for Kimberly At ArtJoyStuff.
I couldn't resist her swap!
I am also working on a new jewelry commission and


This sweet waisted cup is made by Rosina,
One of my favorite cups to collect.
Their designs are so lovely!
And now, 50+  years old,
They are vintage beauties!

 Oh, Maybe I am a vintage beauty! lol!
I am over 50 : )

 Now it is time to boil some water, pour myself a cup of tea
and get to it.
I used to pour my tea first and then take the pictures...
but the tea always got cold! lol!

 Have a fantastic day!
It is a precious day...

Hugs to you All!
Terri

    Hi Terri,
    you are a Vintage beauty and so I am, too. LOL If we get the same grading in Vintage Beautiness as your tea cup, I am very satisfied with that. Its nice to read that you are so creative and in a good mood. I love that. Thank you for sharing this post and for hosting this sweet event.
    Best greetings, Johanna

    it's a stunning teacup! So lovely. You must have an enormous collection of beautiful teacups, fit for every occasion and mood. What is your favourite tea to drink out of these cups? Or do you use certain cups for special sort of teas?

    Holy smokes, 1000 emails! You lucky girl to have so many people take the time to say hello. Is it time for a secretary? Lol. I love your "waisted" cup, it is very sweet. I don't think I've ever seen a waisted cup. Hope you have a lovely week.
