Pink Saturday #7

I have more pink theme teacups and saucers to share with you for this Pink Saturday. After this week I am afraid I might have to look harder for pink things. I have more blue things than I do pink things. So plenty for Blue Mondays. Be watching for those.


I arranged my cups in the same area as I did last week. The pink fabric I am using as a background for the pictures was still in the hutch. I guess I was too lazy to move it last week. But then it was ready for me this week.


This one in the above picture is smaller than the others. I guess that would mean it is a demitasse teacup. Anyway, it is called Sutherland English. It looks so dainty.The next one in the above picture is a simple one. No flowers on the outside with only the one rose on the inside. And on the saucer the rose is smack in the middle, covered up by the teacup when you are using it. This one is called Imperial Rose made in Japan.
This last one is called Sampson Smith Old Royal made in England. Another very pretty teacup. I would say most teacups are pretty. I have one strange one I will have to post sometime. Don't think I would call it pretty. Anyway, in the top picture you can see the one flower on the inside along the rim.

Happy Pink Saturday to everyone. Thank you to Beverly once again for hosting this fun Pink Saturday. Just click on the picture in the side bar to see her post about others who are posting a Pink Saturday post.

I love tea cups! The last one is my favorite of the three. I also love (in your sidebar) the Petunia Tower; was it hard to do? I’m going to have to try that next year! It would add a great height element to any garden, very neat! Happy Pink Saturday a little late!
