Teacup and cake saucer - gift from GrandmaBookbath recently blogged about her beautiful Christmas gift of a teacup, and it surprised me, just how many bloggers do collect teacups. I recently had brunch with a friend and we talked about this phenomenom, wondering what it is about teacups that attracts us to them. I feel certain it's their timeless elegance, ability to take us into a fantasy world of princesses, and their unconditional acceptance of us regalrdless of what state we're in. I love those qualities in a friend. I think us bloggers, should give our teacups some airspace - post a blog about your favourite or share a story about one you've known once. If it's not teacups for you, what is it?
Thanks Grandma, for this, and other special memories.
I love tea cups, but I don't collect them yet. I'm waiting until I have my own house! ;) Still, there's nothing like a tea party to make me feel wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI think it is partly that timely elegance and girlishness that draws so many of us to tea cups! I just think they are so pretty!
