I am so excited... I have been on the search for a special set of cups and saucers for using with my grandchildren. Having tea (with sugar cubes) has become a bit of a routine when they are here especially the ones from NY. I have seen some lovely ones that were way out of my price range but I won a bid on a set of 10 birthday china cups and saucers on ebay. (Feb and June are missing). It was a steal and I can't wait for them to arrive!
That tea-cup is exquisite. Really, I don't think I have seen one so beautiful. Of course, your cat is the picture of beauty this morning. My little Audrey helped me out on Tea-cup Tuesday also. Seems they have a real interest in china. :-)
OMYGOSH, what a beautiful cup...really pretty. and, as you say, your kitty is the star of the show. :) Thanks, Snap, for stopping by with your sweet comment. Hope this is a good day for you and Cassie. xoxo bj

That is such a pretty tea cup. I don't have a tea cup like that but I definitely have a "dawn chorus" every morning with all the birds singing. I love hearing them.
What a great find at Ross! This little birdie tea cup is totally sweet! I am sure you are enjoying it. Cassie is beautiful. My two yorkies, Emma and Betsy also love tea : ) Hugs, Terri
I like the bright cup of white and pink contrasting sweet against the bright blue. A perfect cup for the brighter seasons. The little butterfly on the saucer is the finishing touch in. I wish you a very nice week! Zinnia
Wish I was there having tea with you, So happy to be here visiting you again, I have enjoyed catching up on all your wonderful posts, Hope you have a great day my friend.
That is such a sweet cup! I love sets with birds, and that is blue to boot! We have a small Ross that doesn't stock much. So glad you had Cassie supervising. Tinker is my office manager and keeps me on my toes! Thanks for sharing and linking to Tuesday Cuppa Tea! Ruth
Cassie's a pretty kitty! She has beautiful eyes and she's such a big help! Your tea cup and saucer are very lovely. I love the soft look. It sets a calming mood. LOVELY! Brenda

Lovely, sweet tea cup and equally charming embroidered cloth in the background. xox
Hi Snap, thats a beautiful find and matches perfect with the bird runner. Is Cassie interested in the birds decoration, the tea or the cream for the tea? Anyway, she is a beauty with her blue eyes. Best greetings, Johanna
What a darling teacup you found! I do like shopping at Ross. There are none around here, but on our way south for the winters I find quite a few. Such a sweet kitty, I miss mine. Thanks for sharing, Nancy
I love this cup. For some reason it reminds me of an Asian cup I had years ago. Such delicate painting. Your cat is so beautiful. I miss my sweet Siamese.
What a beautiful teacup and the fancy embroidered birds match so nicely. I love your cat's blue eyes. They go with your blue theme and I like how you have your cat with the bird motif...so darling. Thanks for sharing. Have a wonderful week.
Hello Snap, That is a very cute teacup; very whimsical! Your Cassie is adorable! She's a pretty one! Friends of mine have always had two and they have such wonderful personalities. Thank you for sharing and joining me for tea.
The delicate birds, butterflies and flowers in vivid pink and blue on the cup and saucer.

Then I turned the cup over and discovered this on the bottom:
Dawn Chorus
Portmeirion
Perfect name for this teacup from one of my favorite companies.

Cassie really does like tea day.
She's such a big help,
supervising every move I make!

It's a lovely teacup and the backdrop is quite charming too, especially "blue eyes". That looks like an interesting book.
