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!

  5. Your teacup, and your post, made me smile. Isn't it nice to have your children all snug in bed and safe? And finding a teacup (or any treasure for that matter) at a bargin price is just the frosting on the cake. It IS beautiful...no wonder it stole your heart!
    Have a stress-free week ahead and I look forward to seeing what you post for next week's Teacup Tuesday!
    Caio,

  7. I like your blog lay out; it's quite lovely, and that is a sweet little teacup you have there. On stressful days a cup of tea helps unwind just a tad. Take care and best wishes to you and your daughter.

  8. Hi Dear Rita, so glad to see you found time to post. Tell your daughter that worry is like a rocking chair, it gets you nowhere. Of course, if my 14 year old would worry a little more, he might make better grades. HA! I love your new blog look. Lovely header! I like big cups and your's is perfect for a big cup of tea. I went out to get groceries this morning. It is so hot and dusty out there. Now I have the most awful headache. Being at work is a good thing as it helps the hours to tick by, but being late is not always a good thing. Wishing you all the best for the rest of your week. :) Tammy

  11. Very delicious the color of the post I like the light blue or violet of the flowers your fantasy is fantastic. The tea cups are very very precious.

  12. Ciao Rita,
    Very delicate and quaint colours in your teacup. Is it not funny that a teacup can be so appealing??!!
    In my surroundings a lot of stress but also relief now as the first results of exams are coming through, so I know exactly how you feel.
    My mother brought up 6 children when my father was far away, and today I greatly admire her for always having found time for herself.
    Do find time for yourself and for your hobbies and interests! (and we benefit from it by reading your interestings posts ;-))
    Bonne sera, Rita,
    until next time,
    Jacoba

  13. Hi sweet Rita...I totally am scared to death of testing too. Every other year I even hate taking the first aide and CPR classes I have to take and then be tested. I so understand your daughter's nervousness.
    I love your new teacup.
    hugs
