What a delightful box waited for me on my front porch. While participating in The Enchanting Rose's Teacup Exchange 2015 I was gifted with a beautiful one-of -a kind teacup. Jo from Anne's Attic-design sent me this lovely teacup. It was handmade and came from an old farmhouse that is over 200 years old. The tea cup isn't that old but the lady she purchased it from had hand crafted it when she was in her 30's and she is 91 now! I absolutely love stories like this! I'm a sentimentalist and to know that this treasure has found its way into my home-- it's most welcome here.
Jo included Bits and Bobs... so fun!
The teacup will be wonderful this holiday season... I am looking forward to enjoying a cup of Christmas tea with it.
The unique shape of the petals on the saucer... ruffly, unique and lightly shaded with green.

ReplyDeleteDearest Tanya, what a fabulous and oh-so-beautiful story behind the tea cup! You are indeed blessed to have it in your home. The saucer is very unique and quite stunning as is the color of the cup and saucer.
ReplyDeleteI truly appreciate you, dear one, and your participation in the exchange. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for joining the fun. Love and hugs to you!

Oh that teacup and saucer are so unique! I don't bel8ieve I have ever seen one like it.
ReplyDeleteAnd it looks really neat with that large pinecone in it, too.
Wasn't this exchange FUN???
I'm so glad that you enjoy it. This was my first year and really wasn't sure quite what to give. It truly is a relic. The red door knob came off of an 100 year old cupboard that I bought a few months ago. Also the buckle is one from my Dads many buckles that I inherited when he passed. I love a good history. Hugs, Jo
