Thursday Thrift Store Finds- Silver BIrch...

 

I do love the hunt, finding and using vintage teacups and saucers daily is the thrill for me. 
Here are 100 different cups and saucers from my personal collection, photo I took and shared with my classes for our 100 day of school slide show. Each of these tea cups gets used an awful lot in my house and most days I use at least two. 


This particular teacup and saucer I am showcasing today is a Royal Albert Silver Birch, I started to collect it when I found it in a second hand shop for $5.99 about 5 years ago, I have nick named this set my midlife crisis china as I have been picking up pieces of it whenever I can. It has a lovely scene of birch trees and flowers, reminding me of my grandparents cottage in Arundel, Quebec, on a lake called Bevan. Memories of these silver birch trees stick with me to this days. 


As I type todays post I am sipping a lovely tisane out of this very cup. These cups go for about $20 now in thrift stores near me but you can find them on Etsy for up to $165!



Thank you for joining me for this weeks Thursday Thrift Store Finds. Blessed Be.

Even though we are now about three years into this pandemic and I have lost count of which wave we are currently on here in BC, Canada, the fear and the anxiety of post pandemic life is still something I am at least, struggling with.  The concept of staying home to stay safe is one I fully got behind. Having medically sensitive family members made that decision easy. Before the pandemic, I had weekly tea parties, I worked in a tea shop and surrounded myself with the amazing magick that is all things tea. That was 2019-2020, now in 2022 I long for my tea party days, surrounding myself with friends and like minded tea lovers, however I find t...
