The teacup is lovely! I adore those butterfly wing handles. And it goes so well with the beautiful garden. The garden looks so green and lush and full of life!
That was a good idea to take the cup with you - hope you were able to fill it with tea. I like the butterflies on it and the unique handle of wings. Judith
I love that you took a tea cup to the gardens with you! Yay! And your picture of it there is wonderful. What a beautiful garden it is too! Your tea quotes are fab...especially that last one! Wow! Hugs, Terri
Hi Snap, what a charming idea to take the cup to the Japanese Garden. I love Japanese garden culture, it is very special and beautiful. The green seems much greener than on other places. Your tea cup is so perfect in that surrounding. Not only the fairys enjoyed this tea time. Best greetings, Johanna
A simply gorgeous garden - Love the flowers as a backdrop for the lovely teacup! Love the butterflies! I do appreciate you sharing with A Return to Loveliness, Kathy

During my last visit to the Japanese Garden

I took a little tea cup with me.
I hoped I'd find a place or two I could make this little cup the star.

I think the garden fairies would approve.
Don't you?

I like so much the butterflies in the teacup. I remember when I was a child catching them in the garden and let them fly.
