Tea Cup Tuesday

Happy Tuesday Everyone!

This will be our second Tea Cup Tuesday. Martha and I really enjoyed last weeks and we appreciate all of you who joined in. Your tea cups were beautiful as were your posts!
This week we will be trying out Mr. Linky, and his wonderful widgets. See at the end of this post you can automatically join the list for T.T. at any time on Monday or even Tuesday. Just type your name in the first box, and then your blog address with http:// before it.
(ex. http://artfulaffirmations.blogspot.com) then hit enter.
Let us know what you think of this advancement.

For this Tea Cup Tuesday I am sharing a tea cup from England. Again, I believe I purchased it in Ontario, Canada.
I love the print on this cup!

It was made in the same town as my cup last week, Stoke on Trent, in England.
From what I can find out it seems to have been made around 1952, so it is a little younger than my cup last week. Rosina China manufactured it. Rosina China was formerly G. Warrilow and Sons Ltd.

Oddly enough, I found out that the cup and saucer are not original to each other. When I turned them over to photograph the makers mark, I saw that they had different markings! So somewhere during the last 50 years a cup missing a saucer and a saucer missing a cup came together to make this beautiful pair!

And The Winners Are......

Ginger Gift Box and Earrings

Ann Paper Pack

Congratulations to each of you!

I want to thank everyone for all your good birthday wishes. You are all so SPECIAL to me! I wish I could of had a prize for everyone. I am so thankful for all of you!

Celebrating Life!

It is spring, I just know it is! The trees are budding, the daffodils are blooming, and bird song is everywhere.
Aaaahhhhh. That feels good!

With all this spring in the air I was moved to create this small assemblage to celebrate this lovely time of year.

I love spring because it just seems to be so full of new beginnings. It brings me a sense of starting fresh, with new thoughts, ideas and desires. What fun!

And tonight I will pick 3 winners!!! I can't wait! You can still enter a comment to win.
Have a glorious Sunday and check back tonight to see if you won!
Hugs to you all,
Terri

Birthday Giveaway!

Hello Everyone and Happy Saturday!!!!!

Yesterday was my 51st birthday. I want to thank you all for your good wishes for the day. I did indeed have a fabulous day! Thank you all so very much.

I went antiquing and found a few treasure, among them, this pair of Vintage "pearl" ear bobs! They have aged beautifully, and the rhinestone rondells are gorgeous! They will be in the flower gift box for the giveaway. I was going to make a pair, but I thought these were precious and a good choice.

Thank you also for all of you who have entered so far in my Giveaway. I will pick the winners on Sunday evening. It is not too late to enter! In the post below you will see I am giving away a paper pack, a flower gift box (earrings inside) and a kit to make 2 crepe paper flowers! So there will be three winners. One winner for each item.

My art room has taken the ususal turn of getting quite messy. So today I am enjoying sorting and organizing....again..... But, I am totally thankful that I have all this "stuff" that I need to take care of. I find "stuff" inspiring...do you?

My Birthday Bash Giveaway!

Happy Thursday!

Tomorrow is my birthday, I will be 51 years of age. I think that is a good age to be.

In celebration of the fact that I am still living (lol!) and that I am feeling good, I am offering up several gifts to give away.

First is my Flower Gift Box with a pair of earrings inside.

Second is a kit to make two of the flowers adorn the gift box, and will be the subject of my new tutorial coming very soon.

Third is a paper package, filled with vintage papers.

I will have better pictures tomorrow as I am traveling today and posting from a hotel!

All you need to do is leave a comment and you will be entered in the draw.

I will choose a winner for each gift, so that means three winners!

Have a great day!

I'd like to thank the Academy...ooops, no, I mean YOU!

Lol!!

I want to thank you all for two reasons (well, I could think of more reasons to thank you, but I will start with the first two).

I want to thank all of you who stopped by for a visit yesterday during Martha's and my first ever Tea Cup Tuesday. We really loved "seeing" you, and hearing about your tea cups and your tea cup memories. Thank you so much for sharing. I know I had fun and I met new people and saw some fab blogs that were new to me!

I also want to thank all of you who have viewed my Elegant Shoe Tutorial. All of your very kind comments and support are truly appreciated by me!
Because of all your enthusiasm, I am working on more tutorials. My next one will be for Crepe Paper Flowers, and also an earring video. After that I am hoping to do a necklace video with vintage and found objects.

The photos are of two more shoes I have made for a swap at Marie Antoinette Mail Art Ning Group. I am actually hosting this swap, so I have been blessed with getting to see some of the most amazing shoe art work!

Don't forget I am having a Birthday Bash Giveaway this Friday!!! Tomorrow I will showcase what I am giving away. So come by on Friday and leave a comment, you can also leave a comment on the weekend too.

Tea Cup Tuesday Debut!

Welcome to our very first Tea Cup Tuesday!
I have admired tea cups for many years now. Over time I have collected a few that I truly enjoy drinking from.

What I love about Tea Cups is that they make you want to sit down and drink from them.
They ask for you to have a beautiful moment.
Tea Cups are so lovely they make it easy to feel special.
Tea cups are so beautiful, whatever you drink from them tastes even better.

The tea cup I am sharing today, I found in a Canadian town called Sault Ste. Marie.
It was sitting in a little antique store just waiting for me to pick it up!
I love it's soft blue color and the beautiful roses.

From the little I could find through Google, It seems that Adderly was taken over by Ridgeway Potteries in Longton England in 1947. They still used the Adderly name for a while though. I could make a guess and say that this cup may have been made between then and 1960. I would like to learn more about this, so I will keep researching.
Here are the links to other sites that are participating today. Have a good time visiting with these wonderful ladies. (If your name isn't on here and it should be, I am so sorry. Please e-mail me and I will fix it pronto..nliten@usa.net)
