Pretties from Canada...


One of my sweet angels picked out this cup and saucer in Montreal. It wasn't quite the magic colors (Marie found those for me!) yet I love the colors and the texture...yes texture!


See those white dots? If you look at the dots at the bottom, you can see that they are raised. How special is that! And the flowers at the bottom of the cup look like they are hand-painted. It really is quite lovely.

The pink damask table cloth is hand-dyed in my washing machine ($3 at an estate sale) and the napkin courtesy of Kleenex Paper Napkins. I am having some trouble with my camera and something went crazy before I got a picture of the bottom but the brand is Royal Albert from England.

  5. I've never seen a cup with raised dots. How gorgeous!!
    I wore my wonderful necklace last night at open house for Brenna's school and got LOTS of compliments on it. It was so fun to tell who made it for me!!

  12. This is a very sweet tea cup and saucer! The dots are very fun, and the flowers so pretty with the green coloring of the cup. I also like your tablecloth. You are brave dying it in your washing machine! I would be so afraid that I would not get the dye out of my machine! How did you do it?
    Hugs,
    Terri
