It was on a clearance rack at Home Goods. When I saw it, my heart started skipping a few beats. I held it in my hands, oooed and ahhhed, put it back on the shelf, picked it up again, and then deposited it into my shopping cart.
If my husband saw it, and questioned me on the lack of need to buy another tea cup, I had my defense all ready. This is what I was going to say:
"It's Martha and Terri's fault. They hold this Tea Cup Tuesday party in blogland and I ran out of tea cups to show my dear fellow bloggers. So if I want to participate, I have to buy more cups and this is one of them."
Luckily, I was able to unwrap the cup and plop it into the dishpan in the kitchen sink before my husband came in. When it got washed with all the rest of the dishes at supper, my darling husband never knew the difference. I didn't have to feel guilty and he didn't have to complain so it worked out for both of us. :)
Can you imagine sipping a cup of fragrant tea in this cup next to a bouquet of these?:
The cup was made in China:
Don't miss the other gorgeous cups shown for this weekly party. Just go visit Martha, from Martha's Favorites, and Terri from Artful Affirmations. These dear ladies sponsor Tea Cup Tuesday. Trust me, it's a blast!
