Teacups Anonymous

Today I visited my wonderful friend at the assisted living center.  She is 87 years old, very beautiful, and her mind is sharper than mine. Sometimes I take Hanna with me but it was too hot today. 

After our visit, I stopped at the cutest church-sponsored thrift store called "Annie's Attic".  I looked around and was almost out the door when I spotted this beautiful teacup.  It was one of the Flower of the Month series made in England by Royal Albert  in 1970.  I couldn't resist, after all my birthday is in July.  The tiny blue flowers are forget-me-nots with yellow centers.  I am trying very hard to overcome my teacup obsession and have even thought of looking for a local chapter of Teacups Anonymous!

  6. I wish I could have a tea party and invite all my blogging friends! I'd match each teacup to the friend's personality. Wouldn't that be fun?

  9. That is a BEAUTIFUL tea cup.
    I am always drawn to a delicate cup & saucer too, which is strange since I don't really like any type of hot drink. Guess I could drink cold Sweet Tea from a tea cup with my pinky curled and feel very special, couldn't I? LOL
