Once again, it's time for Tea Cup Tuesday, hosted by Terri at Artful Affirmations. I'm also linking up with Tea Time Tuesday at Rose Chintz Cottage.
I love that it's spring, so that I can go outside and do my photographs.
Today's cup and saucer is one that I inherited from my Grandmother. She collected teacup and saucer sets.

I think this handle is amazing. I love how it curves inward at the bottom, then outward as it moves upward.
The cup and saucer are both marked "bone china" and "made in England" with a crown denoting the maker.
I decided to pair the tea cup with this material I found about 2 years ago or so at one of the yard sales on the 127.
I originally bought this to make some pillows for this old metal-framed couch I had in my sunroom. I love the old-fashioned scenes and clothing depicted here.
Thanks so much for visiting today!

I adore your forget me not tea cup! This one is a favorite of mine (as I own it too!). The flowers are so very well done, and the waisted cup is amazing. I love that shape!
That yard sale sounds fantastic! I would love to go to that for sure, but how do you know when to stop???
(when you drop!).
The fabric is gorgeous as well and a fabulous find!
Hugs,
Terri
Hi Michele,
your inherited tea cup is so pretty. I love the sweet forget-me-nots. Such a pretty color and cute design. And the material is great with the tea cup. Thank you for sharing with us.
Best greetings, Johanna
I love blue flowers, very, very, pretty. Thanks for your visit and comments. Joyous Wishes, Linda
What an elegant tea cup and how well you have matched the bone china to the linen. I always find this a challenge.
I love the fabric paired with the teacup! The blues are so pretty!
The fabric is so much fun. I also love the way it goes so well with the teacup which I also have one of. The yard sale sounds fabulous.
