Coming up roses

I have been really busy the past week
so tonight I am doing a lazy post.
Short but sweet :)


I want to join Martha's teacup party 
and here is a cup which used to belong to my little mother
but now belongs to my grandson.
He will treasure it.


It really is quite beautiful I think.
It is a Royal Albert, Old English Rose.
I have seen another  version of it 
but personally I like this one.
I think it was part of a wedding gift teaset
and this is all that is left. 

My little mother is doing well after her op 
and back to normal. Maybe just a little tired. 
Thanks for asking.

    My sweet friend, I am so glad your dear mother is doing well - what a blessing!

    The tea cup set is truly lovely! My aunt gave me the same tea cup and saucer many years ago, but unfortunately the tea up broke.... I was heart broken! I still have the saucer and it's hanging up in my kitchen :)

    Hugs to you, dear friend!

    As we know tea should always be drunk from a China cup. That's a beautiful tea cup and saucer. My mum loves her China tea sets. Thanks for visiting my blog.
