Teacup Thursday: "Red Teacup" from Royal Albert

-
His Eyes how they twinkled!
His dimples how merry!
His cheeks were like roses,
His nose like a cherry.
His droll little mouth
Was drawn up like a bow,
And the beard on his chin
Was as white as the snow!
~Twas a Night Before Christmas
(Secretly, this part in the story always reminded me of my Grandpa Cherryholmes!)


Isn’t the Santa Teapot cute! I don’t remember where we got him, but I think he’s darling!
Last year for Christmas I bought Mom this pretty little teacup. Red is her favorite color! This teacup is made by Royal Albert. I’ve seen other colors in this pattern, like black, blue, yellow… wouldn’t it be fun to collect a them all!!?
