I collect widowed cup and saucer pieces from garage sales and thrift stores.I can't help myself.
I can always find room for them in my cabinets.
I hide them so my husband doesn't see yet another acquisition.
A stack of saucers, sans cups, can be found for less than a dollar.
I find widowed cups for 10 cents and 25 cents each.
Yes, really!
Many have fine pedigrees such as Haviland, Limoges or simply "Bone China, Made in England".
I don't limit myself to fine china either.
I don't limit myself to fine china either.
American made, vintage, ceramic pieces are just as pretty with roses and gold edging.
I especially love it when I find three matching cups. It's an instant party!
These ceramic ladies are paired with plain, Bavarian china, saucers.
Maybe I need to start a site.

"widowed" such a descriptive word for these single lovelies!
rescuing pretty cups and saucers sounds like a wonderful thing to do Nathalie ... I too have a soft spot for pretty china

He He Widowed cups - love it. Very pretty widows they are too - glad they find partners for the tea party !
There are always more ladies than gents at tea dances - do you have more cups than saucers?!
Sweet collection.

So funny :) you match-maker you
I'm so glad you joined us for Tuesday Tea. I always love it when new members show up. I love how you made it "acceptable" for widows and orphans to find each other. I never considered doing that before. Have a lovely Tea Tuesday and happy Thanksgiving.
I am a sucker for orphaned tea cups and am setting up an adoption program...
I like the idea of the key with wings. Unlocking a lot of things, that way. best to you for Thanksgiving
I love that...It's great that you are giving those pieces a good loving home. ;-)
I love the saucer in the top picture! Thanks for stopping by my blog and commenting.
Cheers :-)
