Tea Cup Exchange

When my beautiful friend Stephanie announced that she was going to be hosting a tea cup exchange I was thrilled and signed up the moment I heard.  Unfortunately, I haven't always had the best experiences with exchanges, but I just knew this one would be different and I am thrilled to say it was great!  
I was blessed to receive my tea cup from Julie at Idyllhours.  She gave me a beautiful vintage tea cup and I am so thrilled to add it to my collection.  Normally I collect mugs (like these two from Stephanie), but this delicate tea cup is just beautiful so it will happily be displayed in my home when I am not sipping tea from it!  

When I started looking for the perfect spot to take pictures of my beautiful tea cup I could think of no better place than by my granmom's lamp.  They complimented each other so well and not only am I thrilled to share my vintage tea cup with you, but I also got to share my family's vintage lamp with you all today. 
 Many thanks go out to Stephanie for hosting such a great link up and to Julie for such a beautiful gift!
Now I'm off to enjoy a spot of tea!

So pretty. I love this exchange. I was assigned to send mine to Julie Marie. :) She's lovely.
I like mugs too. I gave away all my teacups long ago, but had one more I could give away and this was perfect...made room for a new one from a new bloggy friend.
Was nice visiting with you, Lauren.

I mostly just use mugs too. But I have teacups all over the house for decor. And sometimes I do just feel like sipping from a teacup. Your new one is so pretty. I loved this exchange. I have met so many new friends. :)

Memories of yesterday said…
Hey sweetie! You may not remember me, but we met at Declare and sat next to one another at the first session. I was browsing your blog, and as you can see didn't have to get too far. It's just that, your new tea cup matches some of my china that I inherited from my mother's side of the family. And here's the thing, I have 10 cups and 12 saucers. SO, I was wondering if you would like a saucer to match your cup. Just holler at me if you would, okay? :)
