TEA CUP TUESDAY # 7


Carissime Bloggherine,

sono iniziati gli esami di terza media questa settimana qui da Rita's Shabby Chic Rose e la tensione corre sull filo. Mia figlia è molto agitata (eh, come la capisco... io sono stata perennemente agitata agli esami, laurea compresa) ed ero un pò incerta se postare oppure no, D'altro canto un'altra settimana senza un post non poteva proprio andare e, come oramai mia abitudine, mi sono seduta al computer piuttosto tardi, quando la bimba dorme, la cagnolona è sistemata, pomatina sugli occhi compresa, ed è caduto il silenzio o quasi qui nell'appartamento.

YYY

Hello my sweet bloggerettes,

intermediate school examinations have started here at Shabby Chic Rose and there's a lot of tension. My teenager daughter is quite scared, anxious and tense (oh my, do I understand her. it was like this with examinations for me all the way from elementary school to my dissertation). I was therefore a little uncertain whether I should post or let go "again", but I thought to my self that another week without posting was absolutely a must-not!.

It's all nearly quiet here in the apartment: my chores all done, my daughter is sleeping already and the dog has been administered her eye medication for a minor insect bite.

It's been a tough day at the office. already had my plan to leave on time to run some errands in peace when the boss came with some work which caused me to leave at 7:10... too late for any errand which, much to my regret, will have to wait until tomorrow.

Di nuovo l'ultimo mercatino dell'antiquariato prima dell'estate sarebbe stato una delusione se non fosse per alcuni piattini di transferware che ho avuto per 3 euro e questa bellissima tazza di Richard Ginori che mi è sembrata proprio il pezzo ideale per il post di oggi.

Amo molto le tazze grandi ed accoglienti con i decori sobri ed i colori tenui et voilà non potevo trovare di meglio.

Spero vi piaccia. io l'ho immediatamente collocata sul tavolo antico nel salone dove tengo in esposizione le cose più delicate e che vi permangono a lungo.

YYY

Again the last flea before the summer break was quite a disappointment. It would have been a total disappointment if it weren't for some pretty transferware saucers which I got for 2 euros each and this lovely Richard Ginori teacup which was only 5 euros. It's not so old but it was love at first sight.

I adore large and inviting teacupt with delicate floral decors in soft colors, and this one seemed right the one I needed to have -and also perfect for our weekly apppointment eh eh eh .

Hope you like it. I immediately placed on my antique table in my sitting room. that's a table where I normally place my most delicate lovelies and things tend to sit there for ever.

Enjoy!

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.
