I Love Owls


I love owls.
I've been collecting them since I was a very small girl.
I guess I've always loved the wise old owl often seen by Merlin's side.
Magical!




Lacey Owls Teacup



So, it is no surprise that Lacey Owl has been added to the owl and teacup collection.
This is a huge teacup.



Lacey Owls Teacup

So far in the cup I've had:
tea
hot chocolate
cereal
oat meal
tomato soup with half a grilled cheese sandwich on the plate
and I'm sure I'll find more drink/food to fit! 

I have a new favorite tea:
This is a white and green whole leaf tea blend in a sachet.

Thank you to our tea party hosts:

  2. That is the prettiest owl I have ever seen! What a beautiful tea cup...the perfect size if you can also enjoy a serving of tomato soup. (Did you get the tins from Joann's this year with the beautiful owls on them? You might find one for 70% off now. I do love a tin for keeping things fresh.)

  3. Good morning! I love your lacey owl tea cup. I personally love a big cup and this one looks perfect. The orange jasmine tea sounds wonderful.

  4. Now, that is a beaut. Don't you feel that some pieces of china just belong to us; they were meant to be ours. I see that here. Hugs, Deb

  13. Really different cup and saucer, I like it so much. We have a mating pair of bard owls here and a small Eastern Screech in the yard from time to time. They are quite amazing creatures aren't they. xox

  16. Snap- that is just TOO CUTE!

    You could even put a pretty little plant or some coloured eggs in it for spring when it comes, nice having it that large.

    The colour is sweet, too!

  21. New Years Greeting ...

    Lacey Owl is adorable...Funnily enough I've had an owl fetish lately and then my son mentioned that he was painting little owls on his new babies room ...I wonder if this isn't " The Year of the Owl" ..( HA HA)
    Lacey is most delightful and of course who could resist this adorable teaset...I love the colour too.... It a joy to be back into teatime !!!..Hugs

  23. This is the sweetest tea cup! Love the pattern and the colors as well as the shape! Nice square-ish saucer.

    I recently bought a pair of tea cups from an Oneida outlet while visiting our daughter in Up-state NY. It is a large, shallow cup and though I love the shape, especially for soup, I noticed foods/beverages cool rather quickly.
