Another tea cup that I found at the Guild Shop.
I've paired the new tea cup with another Price&Kensington tea pot
that I found at T.J. Maxx. I should have purchased one
in every color that Maxx had,
but I kept telling myself I had enough tea pots!
But it is fun to pair them up with a tea cup to make a pretty tea for one.
The bottom of the tea cup reads:
Queen's China
Blenheim
A Crownford Product
English Bone China
Est 1875
A few more quotes from Tea Bliss by Theresa Cheung:
"The best state of mind in which to drink tea is one of deep meditation. The second best is while looking at a beautiful landscape or listening to music. The third best is during stimulating conversation. In all cases it is necessary to aspire towards a quiet and tranquil frame of mind."
~Paichang (729-814), Chinese Ch'an (Zen) master
"You can taste and feel, but not describe, the exquisite state of repose produced by tea, that precious drink, which drives away the five causes of sorrow."
~Ch'ien Lung (1710-1789), Chinese emperor
"If you are cold, tea will warm you; if you are too heated, it will cool you; if you are depressed, it will cheer you; if you are excited, it will calm you."
~Anonymous
"I hope next time when we meet, we won't be fighting each other. Instead we will be drinking tea together."
~Jackie Chan, Rumble in the Bronx
"(I am) a hardened and shameless tea drinker, who for twenty years diluted his meals with only the infusion of the fascinating plant; who with tea amused the evening, with tea solaced the midnight, and with tea welcomed the morning."
~Samuel Johnson (1709-1784), English writer
Thanks to our tea party hostesses.
These are just a few of the tea parties in the Land of Blog.
Wishing YOU well and a wonderful cup of tea!

Tea tastes better in a pretty cup, it's true!
Your tea cup is so lovely and the little blue tea pot goes so well. I love your tea quotes ~ number two really is how I feel about tea. I can't explain it .. but tea really has helped me (quieten my mind) since my accident in ways that Meds have not been able to.
Wishing you a happy tea time..xo HHL
Hi Snap,
You certainly paired the perfect set. Your teacup and tea pot are so pretty together. You created such a lovely mosaic of pics too.
TJ Maxx has the best finds. I am due for a visit for Fall myself.
I agree with that last comment. Tea does taste better in a pretty cup.
Hope you are having cooler temps in your area of Texas. This morning almost feels cold in comparison to those dreadful triple digits. It will warm up, but you can feel Fall in the air. Love it!! so inspiring.
Enjoy a special week.
Hugs, Celestina Marie

Thanks for joining in my circle of friends for tea today. You can bring along that cutest of blue teapots...and I love all your quotes you've chosen..have a great day x
My mother has given me several bone china teacups in the last several years, and I am always to afraid to use them, or to even have them by my kids. They sit, dusty and hidden, high away in the cupboard. Seeing your posts always makes me want to break them out!!! One day it would be nice to have them out and use them :).
Always nice to meet another Gemini btw!!!!
xx oo
Love the pretty colors of your new teacup! And my, what a bargain too! Enjoy it.

I love pretty tea cups and tea pots! My daughter-in-law introduced me to Teavanna teas in a Denver mall recently and I bought a complete red tea set I saw in the store window in a moment of weakness :)

Wish we had TJ Max in Canada.

Your teacup is lovely and the two mosaics are very pleasing.
Nothing quenches thirst like a good cup of tea - at least for me, it's true.
Impressive and so beautiful!
Wonderful teacup!
