Teacup Thursday: Queen Elizabeth II

-
58 years ago today… on June 2nd, 1953 ~ Queen Elizabeth II was crowned monarch of the United Kingdom! So in honor of this day, I thought I’d share with you our Queen Elizabeth Teacup and Coronation plate.  Long Live the Queen!


Also, on a side note… 52 years ago today, my dad was born! Happy Birthday Dad!! :)  I guess great things happen on June 2nd!

    Hello ladies,
    Your offerings today are lovely. I especially like the tea cup! You know everyone always said my mother could pass for the Queen's sister. It's always been an inside joke that we were related to the Queen. Happy Birthday to your father. I hope he has a wonderful day.

    Blessings,
    Sandi

    Donna and Spenser....I LOVE queen things! You teacup is beautiful. Do you know when they celebrate the queen's birthday? I think it's in June, but I'm not sure. I am dreaming of coming to your tea shoppe...but I may never want to leave. You might have to put me on the payroll. LOL
    Love, Linda
