Teacup Thursday: "Rose Teacup by Aynsley"

-
If you Love Roses
If you Love the roses ~ so do I.
I wish the sky would
rain down roses,
As they rain from off the
shaken bush.
Why will it not?
Then all the valley would be pink and white
And soft to tread on.
They would fall as light
As feathers, smelling sweet;
and it would be
Like sleeping and like waking,
all at once!
~George Eliot

 We have a large collection of various Rose Teacups, but I'd have to say this is one of my favorite Rose Teacups that we have!  The interesting thing about this teacup is that instead of being white on the inside of the cup, it's pink! A very soft pink... hopefully you'll be able to see that in the picture!

    I love it when a soft color or a painting is inside the cup. The rose on this cup looks so real, I could almost reach out and pluck it.

"We wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!" Mom was the first to get this set of “Cup of Christmas Tea” teacup and teapot. She received them many years ago by a friend in California, Dayna Esquivel. When we moved out here to the country, Mom and I began enjoying tea together in the afternoons. That Christmas Mom found another set of “Christmas Tea” teacups and teapot and purchased them for me! We always get these teacups out at Christmas and sip tea out of them on a regular basis. They hold many found memories of teatime with my mom! May you have a blessed Christmas!! Other's Who Are Participating in Teacup Thursday! The Hope Chest Rose Chintz Cottage Antiques and Teacups
