Welcome to “Show and Tell Friday!” Do you have something special to share with us? It could be a trinket from grade school, a piece of jewelry, or a treasured collection. Look around your home for something to share; dig through those boxes in your closet if you have to! Share photos and the story that goes with your special item.
Today I want to show you 10 Noritake teacups that I found during my New England vacation. I actually passed them up the first time my mom and I went to the resale store. I kept wondering what I would do with 10 teacup without saucers! Then I thought how cute they would be during springtime and Easter and so I went back to get them.
They are white on the inside with gold rims and handles. The outsides are very pale pink, blue or green.
I was telling my friend, Kelly in MN about them and she suggested putting a paper doily on the white saucers I already have.
I love this idea!
I also love what I found just the other day. Two saucers (without teacups!) that match perfectly!
Better yet, they were only $1.00 each. :0)
My friend, Revee and her girls are coming over today. My tea tray is all ready and I'm looking forward to our visit!
Thank you for looking at my show and tell!
Show and Tell Guidelines
What is Show and Tell Friday?
Show and Tell involves showing something to an audience, and then telling them about it. Your show and tell must be something that you own, and is in your home or garden.
What items work well for Show and Tell Friday?
Here are a few ideas to get you started:
-Family heirlooms
-A collection you may have
-A piece of jewelry
-A special gift
-Gardening pictures
What doesn't work well for Show and Tell Friday?
-Posts with no photos have no "Show." Please don't use them.
-Photos of events (trips, vacations, celebrations, etc.)
-Photos of things you are selling or planning to sell.
-Photos found on the internet, graphics or screenshots. Please use photos you take yourself.
There is no place like home is the original home of Show and Tell Friday. Please do not host your own.
How can I participate?
Once you've got your photo(s) and your story, it's easy as 1-2-3!
1 - Publish your "Show and Tell" on your blog, including a link back to There is No place like Home.
2 - Copy the link (or "permalink") from your post.
3 - Add it to Mr. Linky, along with your first name only. I usually put Mr. Linky up on Friday at 12:00am Eastern time.
I love it...the paper doily is a nice touch. :D

They have a beautiful, classic look, and I love the doily idea!
ReplyDeleteThose are so pretty - I never would have thought of the doily. And I like the idea of different but color-coordinated saucers too.

ReplyDeleteOh Kelli, they look so neat! I adore those saucers and your little paper doilies fit perfectly to the scenery you put on the tray!

These are so special!! I love that they are different, dainty colors and what fun matching them up with different saucers. You are so clever, Kelli!!
ReplyDeleteSusan
I need to start checking out such treasure spots - I never have been good at nosing out such lovely things.
ReplyDeleteKelli, The cups, and now the saucers, are a great find. No wonder you went back for them. Enjoy the tea with your friends.
ReplyDeleteHow cute!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great find! Your cups and saucers are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteBlessings
Linda
What wonderful finds!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Kelli! How I wish you could come to tea at my home! I'm just making a hot cup to help with a migraine I am fighting with today!
ReplyDeleteMy tea cups and saucers are not all perfectly matched either - and no one ever notices unless they dry dishes for me and try to 'match' everything!
I wonder what the lovely Noritake saucers are up to and if they will ever find a creative home like yours to bring joy to! Great find!
I can see why they would be a hit for Easter! Their delicate coloring just lends them to springtime. The saucers are equally lovely. Great find! :o)
ReplyDeleteSo cute!!!Hey Easter Bunny want to have a tea party!
ReplyDeleteThese are so beautiful, Kelli! I am excited to take part in Show & Tell Friday for the first time!
ReplyDeleteOhhhhh, those are soooo pretty! What delciate colors. The nice thing is, they look like they would go with any pretty saucer anway. Thanks for sharing!

I received a set of Noritake as a memento of my mother when she passed away. I am still looking to find some more pieces of it. Perhaps I should spend a bit more time haunting flea markets and garage sales.
ReplyDeleteJust love what you found to pair your tea cups with. Everything goes so well together.
Good Early Morning Kelli,
ReplyDeleteI am going to do a show and tell today on my blogsite. It is called Karen's Korner. I'm fairly new to blogging. I started in September, but only got going good last month. I still have lots to learn though. I added my name and my URl that you requested. I will link back to here when I update my blog later on this morning. I am really enjoying this blogging. I have made alot of new friends. Take care my friend and have a great Friday. God Bless You.
Hugs,
Karen H.
