Tea on Tuesday

As I sit here drinking a Twinings Pure Rooisbos from Finland (!), I am sorting thru' some photos taken at a tea class at Julianna's the beginning of October.

The class was about the different material types used in creating teacups - porcelain, redware, ironstone, etc.

 There is another class on Thursday evening- What's in Your China Hutch - Part 2. Can't wait!!!

               I figured it was about time I post the pics from Part 1 !

                                                 My friend Judy, waiting for class to start

We all brought our own teacups - Judy brought a lovely one from her friend, Lennie. This was Lennie's mother's teacup- unusual "flocking"  on the pedestal teacup and saucer.

       My beautiful teacup above - looks like Shelley - but it's English Staffordshire-thrift store treasure!

  6. I'm in awe of all those cups. Yours looks so elegant and it looks like the plate next to the cup and saucer matched. Really a lovely bunch of cups. I am sure you learned a great deal, too. Hope you had a great tea Tuesday, because I'm running a bit late today.
