Aren't these teacups wonderful?

They were a Valentine's Day gift from a dear friend.
[Image]
We were shopping at Tuesday Morning when we found them.
I "clasped my hands with delight"!
[Image]
They came in a wonderful storage box decorated with the heart and crown...a cappuccino cup set called Royal Heart ...large cups that will be perfect for tea.
**"Descending from his perch, he fell to unpacking it with great neatness and dispatch, while Rose watched him, wondering what was going to happen. Presently, out from the wrappings came a teapot, which caused her to clasp her hands with delight, for it was made in the likeness of a plump little Chinaman ... Two pretty cups with covers, and a scarlet tray, completed the set, and made one long to have a "dish of tea" even in Chinese style, without cream or sugar."~Louisa M. Alcott, Eight Cousins "Let us gather for a greetingWith our teacups filled with teaAnd I'll tell you how importantYour friendship is to me."~ Alda Ellis, Hats Off To Tea "If man has no tea in him, he is incapable of understanding truth and beauty."~ Japanese Proverb

First, the roses are so beautiful that I wanted to run out and buy some for me. Then I noticed the little crown inside the cup - how delightful.
February 21, 2012 at 1:14 PM
Lovely Gift! They are so royal with the crown and heart! You could use them with a European theme in mind. Happy Tea Party! Pam
