Welcome to another Pink Saturday! Today I am sharing a teacup and saucer that belonged to my Mom. She had quite a collection of teacups. I always loved this one when I was a little girl.....I thought the bird was AMAZING!!!! The only stamp it has on the bottom is "Japan". I am not sure where she got this particular teacup - wish I had listened better when she was explaining things to me :(
Showing the PINK on the saucer:
Another view of the bird - isn't he/she cute?????
Please stop by BEVERLY to check out the other Pink Participants!
Have a good day and a better tomorrow!

Hello Caren,
I am joining everyone here in saying that the cup is just adorable! It is very small and so cute with that little bird perched on the handle. Love the details and the blues and the pinks. Do you ever use it or is it for display only now? Did you get to use it when you were a little girl?
Your grandma sure collected pretty china and now they have been passed to you along with the memories :-)
Mizpah,
Li
(The Valentine card that Noodle received from your daughter is too cute :-) )

I don't think I've every seen such a sweet cup and saucer! I love birds!! I'm so lucky to still have my mom around to tell stories. I really should make time to write down some of her memories though. Thanks for sharing and Happy pink week!!

Happy Pink Saturday Caren Sweetie...
I am so thrilled that you made it by. I wanted you to see this pink post, and this week I have posted all fairies. I just knew that you would smell them out and pop over. I know you to well.
I love your beautiful teacup and saucer, and then to be from your sweet Moma. I have several that Moma has bought me also. It makes these treasures even that much more special. I love the little bird. It appears to be a parakeet that has landed for a little sip of tea herself. She is waiting for someone to ask her "One lump or two dearie?" I so love it sweetie. Thank you for blessing me with this post today. It has so touched my heart.
Thank you again for stopping by to say hello. Country hugs and so much love sweetie...Sherry

This is just exquisite!! Love the little bird handle :)
BTW - my pink post is up. For some reason it didn't get up earlier this morning. That soup certainly was NOT pink! ;)
Have a nice weekend, Caren!!

Your teacup is adorable. I had a friend who had a teacup with a frog, I think it was, who was in the bottom of teacup. So, you'd be drinking and eventually start seeing something at the bottom of you cup only to find out it was part of the cup. Kinda strange in one way but soooo much fun to watch people drink from them for the first time. However, I really like your cup better. And,the things we don't pay attention to that we regret - just have to make your own new memories - that's how I figure it. Enjoyed my visit, Thanks, Jenn <><

Hi Caren! I LOVE the bird as the handle! Yes, I agree with you, I wish I'd listened better when my mom told me stuff, too!
Hope your day is filled with wonderful PINKS! L, Dana
