Teacup Thrusday: Friendly Village

-
The mere chink of cups and saucers tunes the mind to happy repose. ~George Gissing

I couldn’t agree more with this quote!! Have you ever heard the clink of teacups or watched the steam rise off a cup if tea in a movie and suddenly felt the need for a cup of tea!!


This is a popular teacup we see in some of our favorite British TV series… “Friendly Village” by Johnson Brothers

    Happy Teacup Thursday! I do see this pattern in several series. I was rewatching some old Upstairs Downstairs and noticed some of this pattern and the large pitcher in my pattern...Olde English Countryside. I don't think they were correct in their time period.
    This is one JB pattern I haven't collected!
    Love, Lady Linda

    Friendly Village is so popular! I love all the nostalgic village scenes. So fun to look at them and picture yourself there! Thanks for hosting.

    I can definitely picture this teacup and teapot in a British movie. I could picture myself in the scene too. Just lovely.

    This really is a lovely set. I recently came across a full complete set of this pattern, in a local antique shop. If it were not for the price tag .. I would have happily brough it home with me. Sometimes at this shop if things stay long - they go on sale or they will split sets into smaller sizes ...Happy Tea Thursday..

    LOve this image...I have a dinner plate with this design (given to me) but not a teacup. Charming color & trees, and love the brown which is more rare on teacups.
    Happy Teatime!

"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
