Tea cups
I was dropping off a few packages at the post office this week, and somehow found myself at a favorite gift shop near our historic downtown, afterwards. ;0)

I picked out a few sticker sheets and was checking out when I noticed some beautiful transferware tea cups.

    Kelli, your dishes are lovely. I love the vintage dishes that have so much detail. They are very fall looking right now. However, we have snow here today and fall is gone for the winter. Still, Thanksgiving is just around the corner. Gave a great one.

  75. Hello Kelli,

    I love transferware, I collect blue and white. Your teacups are precious, I was hoping you'd tell us if they were new or old and show the stamp on the bottom. Brown is Martha Stewart's favorite transferware color.

    Have a wonderful weekend,
    Kathi :)
