What do you do when you happened upon a pretty orphaned teacup or saucer at your favorite thrift store? Do you buy it or figure you won’t have any use for it because either the matching teacup or saucer is missing?
I found these three lovely orphaned saucers at a thrift store the other day and immediately felt in love with them… I couldn’t find their matching cups anywhere, but that didn’t stopped me from bringing them home. I knew exactly what to do…
I knew my everyday plain-Jane (but gorgeous to me) white cups didn’t mind a little flare…
My pretty saucers have served me well… these white cups, (it almost seem they're made out of lace doen't it!) I bought at another thrift store a while a go didn’t have matching saucers either...
But now they do! Lovely new saucers meant to be just for them!
Some of my favorite plates and china are also mismatched orphaned thrift store treasure too pretty to leave behind… finding the divine in every day is so divine, isn't it!
And oh have you noticed? I've made some cupcakes! Won't you stay for a while?
I'm getting so much better with my merengue (Spn) these days...
What would a simple white cup be without a lovely saucer? A cupcake without some yummy cream cheese frosting? (My favorite ever!) Whether it's a warm glaze drizzled over a bundt cake or a fluffy frosting topping festive cupcakes, that sweet swirl of sugar, milk, butter, and flavorings gives desserts a perfect sweet finish, doesn’t it!
I'm joining Sandi, Rhondi, and Lady Katherine for some tea! Come see!
Cielo, I gave my expensive 12 place settings china to my granddaughter a couple of years ago because I've started to cherish the shabby mis-matched look more, sweetpea. I love having different kinds of rose plates on the table when we eat even just the two of us. It most often is a different plate each night for each of us. I just adore what you've done. A plain cup with a rose plate is exquisite, chick.
ReplyDeleteNow, you must tell me what your favorite junk shop is!

Something to think about when you find an orphaned piece of china which I often find at Goodwill. Your cupcakes look yummy!~Patti
ReplyDeleteGood morning Cielo,
ReplyDeleteI love mis-matched china now more than I ever did! I used to be so matchy-matchy but I'm liking shabby more these days. It's more comfortable and relaxed, don't you think? Yours are lovely and the little cuppies look yummy too. I'm so glad you've joined me today for Tea Time Tuesday. Hope you have a scrumptious day.
Blessings,
Sandi

Dear Cielo
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you joined my tea party. I love all your mismatched cups and saucers. They have a special beauty all their own and you are just the one to bring it out. Thanks for the pretty cupcakes too. I have been a very poor blog friend and haven't been to visit you in quite awhile :( Please forgive me.

I LOVE your white teacups with the pretty little saucers. They are beautiful and give just the right touch of charm and elegance. Those cupcakes look divine! So gorgeous! Wishing you a day of beauty and blessings, Tammy
ReplyDeleteHi, Cielo! Like you, I love the mis-matched look. If I love it, I buy it, simple as that--LOL! And for tea, tea parties, the mis-matched look is just perfect. I love your table settings here... and not least the look of those cupcakes...mmm... Happy Days, my friend ((HUGS))

Your saucers are gorgeous. And pairing them with the white teacup looks so lovely. They certainly do marry well.

ReplyDeleteHi Cielo,
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty plates. I put some mismatched china pieces in my garden, scattered amoung the flowers. The look so pretty! Just stand them up, and press them gently into the soil. I get a lot of compliments on them. Someone actually asked me if I was growing dishes! LOL!!
Very cute, I would of bought them to. Thanks for sharing. XO MARY
