So now we are finally getting out of the doldrums of winter and into the bright colors and mild weather of spring. Each year I wait impatiently for the first trees to bloom and am never disappointed at the show they provide! Bring this same color and spring flair to your table settings with vintage teacups. There are sooooo many different types but, I think I prefer the beautiful translucence of bone china. If you hold them to the light, your fingers just barely show through the porcelain. Setting a spring luncheon or brunch table with the flurry of color and styles that are available to you with vintage teacups can be a fun experience. You don't even have to make them match! Putting miss-matched settings out is perfectly acceptable these days. Don't give away a teacup just because it does not have a matching saucer! These little "orphan" cups make great nut/candy cups for weddings, birthday parties, garden parties, etc. Ignore "who" made them in favor of colors and patterns that make you happy! Come wander through South End Antique Mall and experience the delightful array of vintage teacups and teacup/saucer sets!
These sweet little cups and saucers
come in so many bright colors
and patterns they are just too cute to resist!
