I'm fairly certain that when The Ronald and I moved last year, I gave some away....
I know! How crazy was that?? I haven't even opened the boxes that are labeled Tea Cups and/or Tea Pots because I really don't have anywhere to showcase them. Just writing this post, though, made me decide to go through those boxes and see what I have!
Okay....so I'm reposting my Tea Cup Tuesday blog from July 5, 2010...almost exactly four years ago.

It's "Tea Cup Tuesday" and I'm joining Martha's Favorites.
I'm truly excited to show one of my recent finds at the Antique Mall near my home. I think this particular set is so unique. First of all, it's not pink! It's a lovely golden yellow, on a white background, trimmed in gold.
Also, the edges of both the cup and saucer are slightly scalloped, which adds even more beauty, I think.
The "back" side of the cup has just the one flower bud .
And the Pièce de résistance is....................photo below.............
THE BOTTOM OF THE SAUCER STILL HAS THE "KRESGE" PRICE TAG OF 49¢
Isn't that hilarious?? I think if I were the owner, I would've removed that before I attempted to sell it! How many of you are familiar with the old Kresge stores?? We had them in St. Louis when I was really young. They were similar to Woolworth's.....kind of a small discount/department store, before there were K-Marts and such. (I think the same man, Mr. Kresge, also owned K-Mart.)
I paid $4.99 for the set, but I would've paid a lot more, just because I loved the old-fashioned price tag!!

* If you have any tea cups you'd like to show, please join in the fun! They don't have to be anything fancy, and they don't even have to be china. Once or twice I shared some photos of my crocheted tea cups! Just click on Martha's link above.*
