A Little Yellow Tea Cup and Little Yellow Flowers


Hi everyone!

Wow, I have been so busy lately that I have not had a tea party in two weeks! Well, I just had to stop things for a moment and enjoy the day.

I picked up this little teacup at a thrift store a few weeks ago. It is just so sweet!

We had no idea what it would look like. That is one of the fun things we enjoy about swapping plants. It is called Lemon Drop  and is in the Primrose family.

    What a darling tea cup, Diann! You are the best-est thrifter; always finding great items. After reading your post on the herbs, I understand that thrifting to resell is part of your business. I believe your lemon drop is also called yellow loosestrife. I have some of it that my m-i-l gave me years ago. It's still thriving. Enjoy your summer and thanks for the tea today!
    Blessings, Beth

    I enjoy looking through books such as those for inspiration too. I would love to go shopping with you. You have such an artistic eye.

    Love the little yellow teacups. I serve soups in demitasse cups sometimes as appetizers. They would be perfect.

    Diann, what an adorable daffodil teacup/saucer!! I've never seen anything like it before - very attractive. I've been very attracted to 'yellow' lately, and your yellow napkins are wonderful, and the floral napkin holders adds such summery charm to them.

    Thank you for sharing your unique cup/saucer.
    Blessings,
    Marianne
