~ My favorite cup for tea ~

Everyone has a favorite cup, right?

Whether it be a dainty china tea cup,

Trash to Treasure


a hearty ceramic mug,

a family heirloom,

or one that just fits your personality, 

Rooster ♥ Teacup Tuesday


you know you have one. 

Admit it. 

I do. 


Isn't she a beauty?


All I know about her history is that she's from England.


But my mom bought this cup long years ago. I don't remember it not being in her cabinet. This is the one I always used when I visited her home. It brings to mind early mornings and late nights spent in conversation on my mom's porch, or curled up in the living room, talking and enjoying a hot cup coffee or tea, depending on the time of day.
 Catching up on life and all its joys & sorrows. 
So today, I share not a spectacularly fragile piece of china, but a precious piece that evokes memories of my mom. 
I wish she was here to sit with once again!
It's only used for tea now, as that cocky rooster cup above is my go to for coffee. 
Yes, pun intended ;)

What kind of cup is your favorite to use? Dainty, hearty, or just plain fun?

Thanks for coming by! 
Have a great day in the Lord!
