Teacup Thursday: Out of Africa

-
“Difficult times have helped me to understand better than before, how infinitely rich and beautiful life is in every way, and that so many things that one goes worrying about are of no importance whatsoever…” Isak Dinesen (Karen Blixen)


 In honor of September's Out of Africa theme, I thought it would be fun to share this interesting and unique teacup with you. I think it looks very 1920’s with it’s unusual shape and safari colors.

    Your black teacup is very striking. Is that a fuchsia?

    I just recently did some research on her life story. She was truly a remarkable woman. Your lovely teacup evokes another intriguing time and place.
