Teacups are always great to collect and decorate with, in part because there is such a variety of styles out there. my problem is finding room for displaying and storing those I currently have. I found myself acquiring more, of course I buy them for their beauty and no so much for their value. You could said I’m not that particular. I just plain like them.

Here is a glass display cabinet that I found at a consignment store.
Is perfect for my growing collection of teacups.
Here are a couple of ideas to use teacups for decorating

I very much like your teacup decorating, and especially the cloche idea~ I just might be using that idea soon, very soon!
Thank you for leaving a comment on my blog. Nice to meet you, I live in north Fl.came here 7years ago, we were in the Keys for 30 years.
Love your teacups and they look so pretty in the cup holder on the wall, now you can fill the other one.... I went back to some of your older posts, loved the thing about "What Will Matter" do you mind if I copy it, I would like to use it in my art journal.BE BLESSED
you ahve some beautiful teacup and tea sets! I too, buy them for the beauty not for the value.
You have a beautiful collection. Love the teacup candle. The tiny tea set is so cute. How lucky to find the cabinet.
You have an amazing collection! All of them are so beautiful!
We would love to see each one and hear how you got it, or who made it.
They are all so special!
Hugs,
Terri
Happy Tuesday tea party to you!!
Your teacup collection is lovely...and so is your curio cabinet. I LOVE it. Several years ago, we got rid of our curio cabinet. It was black lacquer (so 80's..as was our dining room, living room, and bedroom furniture), and we were sick of black. We bought new furniture...sadly, though, another curio cabinet has never been in the budget. One day, though, I'd love one like yours.
Oh, I love the teacup candle holder idea. So beautiful and creative. I'm curios, though. Did you glue the teacups together like that, so it's a candle holder permanently? Or did you just set them that way for the photo? I LOVE the idea and can see myself copying it.
Wishing you a lovely day,
Patti (Fill My Cup with Beauty)
They are all beautiful!
