TEACUP TUESDAY # 8

Care amiche,
dopo aver trascorso giorni e giorni interrogandomi se continuare conn questo mio blog oppure abbandonare, eccomi tornata per l'appuntamento settimanale del TeaCup Tuesday, ospitato da Martha di Martha's Favorites http://www.marthasfavorites.com/ e da Terri di Artful Afirmations http://artfulaffirmations.blogspot.com/.
Ho ancora qualche tazza nella mia collezione di tazze orfane ed allora mi sono detta: "Perchè no?"
Quella che sto mostrando oggi è una Bavaria acquistata su commissione da un collega in viaggio nella sua città di origine. In tutto tre tazze con piattino ed una maxi zuccheriera, ma li trovo deliziosi e sicuramente da condividere.

My dearest friends,
after some day spent seriously thinking whether I should go on posting or simply quit as I was feeling that maybe didn't have so much to share any longer, I decided to come back for this most pleasant weekly appointment of TEACUP TUESDAY hosted by Martha of Martha's Favorites http://www.marthasfavorites.com/ and Terri of Artful Afirmations http://artfulaffirmations.blogspot.com/.
I still have a few cups I haven't shared yet so I said to myself "why not?" and here I am sharing
this orphaned Bavaria cup & saucer and huge sugar bowl. They were bought for me on commission from a coworker visiting his hometown. When I learnt he was going away for a few days asked him whether he could stop by some flea or antiques shop and buy a cup for me. gave him a budget and that was it... he ame back with this lovely orphaned Bavaria set: only three cups & sucers plus the sugar bowl. not a complete set but sure nice to share. hope you'll like it.
And be sure to pop over to Martha's and Terri's to see what's been shared this week. Must be hundreds of treasures: a true feast for the eyes.

TEA CUP TUESDAY # 6

Carissime amiche,
è passata un'altra settimana ed è già martedì... il nostro Tea Cup Tuesday di Martha e Terri. Mentre girovagavo per l'appartamento alla ricerca di una tazza da mostrare questa sera, mi sonoo imbattuta in questa coppia di tazze di porcellana giapponesi, con i loro deliziosi piattini di bamboo.
Appartenenti ad un servizio di non so quanti pezzi, una volta arrivate al misero numero di due mi sono state regalate da mia suocera. avevo completamente dimenticato di averle, così come avevo dimenticato quanto fossero belle e nobili. se vista controluce, traspare il volto di una geisha. Una vera preziosità.

Dear friends,
it's already one week since my last post and being Tuesday we are ready for the great fun of Martha's and Terri's Tea Cup Tuesday. Altough I'm very tired today and all I can think of is going to bed, I couldn't miss joining the fun.
While I was looking around the apartment for something to be shown tonight I realized I had a wonderful couple of Japanese bone china cups that had been given to me by my mother in law some twenty years ago, before the entire set turned into debris.
I love the set. find it so elegant and refined and if you expose the bottom of the cup to a source of light, through the porcelain you'll see the beautiful face of a geisha. A truly pretty effect and two very beautiful cups with their bamboo saucers. I love their turquoise color and the dainty oriental flower bouquets on the inside of the cup. I'm so glad they ended up in my hands, and could make good use of them for our tea cup tuesday.
