Hello and welcome! I am combining posts today for Teacup Thursday, Vintage Thingie Thursday and Pink Saturday. The links are at the bottom of the post.
When you were a child, did you spend time popping the buds on the fuschias? I did. About this time of year, the buds and flowers were abundany, and I just loved the muted pop of a ready-to-open fuschia bud. I thought I was helping the plant...although I was probably hindering! Anyway, I love this cup and saucer from the 1960s with a pink fuschia design because it reminds me of that time. The teacup was made by Royal Vale, just after it was taken over by Ridgway, England in 1962. I just love the design!
And my take on the ubiquitous Keep Calm signs...I'll drink (a cuppa!) to that!
This photo was credited to Emma Lee, and features a Spode teacup and madeleine cookies...a favorite of mine. With the pink roses, a perfect photo...except I don't take milk in my tea. Apparently...luckily for me...tea has loads of healthful properties, antioxidants, etc...but they are negated by adding milk...which I have never done. Nice to get some good health news once in awhile!
For more info on the fuschia teacup on Antiques And Teacups, click on the photos.
Have a great weekend and visit the wonderful blogs below that I am joining.
Cheers!

Lovely teacup. I think teacups with fuschias must be pretty rare.
ReplyDeleteI am with you,relax,stay calm and enjoy your tea time.
ReplyDeleteOh Ruth, you sent me back to my childhood. My mom always had fuschias on our front porch and yes, I loved to pop the buds too.
ReplyDeleteThe cup is lovely.
Ruth,Thank you for dropping by.I love fushas,mostly because they remind Me of My Grandpa Ketzel.He had them in His garden.I remember snapping them.He would be so disappointed coming outside and My sister and I had snapped all of them. Denise
ReplyDeleteLovely teacups, Ruth. The Spode is gorgeous, what I can see of it. I always take my tea black. I think milk ruins it. Happy Pinks and enjoy your weekend.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
