Tea Cup Thursday : More Auction Finds

Hello Everyone! Welcome to another Tea Cup Thursday! Hosted by Mrs. Spencer http://missspensersblog.blogspot.com/

Just sharing a few more auction finds, that have not been delivered to the house yet! 

Since gold is shooting out the roof with its prices, how about I share some gold tea cups with you? 

Below this is a Tea Cup from Germany, Handpainted. There is so much gold on this cup it makes me wonder!

This one below stands out to me, also painted in a gold outline. It just screams fall which we down here in hot 106 degree weather are praying comes sooner then later. All of the leaves from my trees are falling to the ground already, but its just to hot to get out there and rake! 

Soon I will religiously pick up my SLR and take much better pictures of things for the postings, but since these arent even here yet i figure the stock photos are ok to post! Until we meet again!

Another Bedroom Post

 So Many of you may not know what I do on the side, or that I own 2 very nice SLR's which I hate getting out just because of their pure bulkiness. I decided though last night to fool around with them though and take pictures of the bedroom progress. It still isn't completed but there are some nice touches in there. 

Here are the blue Ball mason jars I scored from an auction. Place very nicely on top of my jewelry box. 

 A picture of the Doves I picked up from Colorado Lady. The 4 of them fit very nicely on this white little shelf. There is a great story behind them as well. Maybe the lady who originally had these in her wedding would be happy to know they were incorporated into mine as well. 

 Here are a couple of pictures of the salvaged lamp that sits on my bedside! This lamp was sitting in the trash for bulk pickup. It was in pieces. I figured I would give it a try, if anything I could use the little crystals on it for something. When I brought it home, it got rewired and screwed all together. I believe it is a beautiful piece and love having it next to my bedside. 

 Another incorporation of wedding things. I picked these beauties up off of etsy, and just love the rustic look to them with the beautiful rose ball on top. It adds a bit more color to the room. 

 A picture of the wall on my side of the room, with all of the things I have been picking up to put up. Most of this stuff has been painted.

 Another shot of the jewelry box I painted with some Old Fashioned Milk Paint. I really like the contrast of the white and blue walls. 

 The Bed Spread, I still feel very blah about the bed. I have an old window I am planning on hanging over the bed, just haven't had a opportunity to figure out how to hang it yet.

 My Side Table. 

 This is inbetween the window on my husbands side of the bed. There is a mirror that is undergoing a painting project that will hang right above it. You see my two cameo girls head vases and a mason jar full of goodies all from the wedding.

This is finally Barretts side of the bed. I am still not sure how I convinced him to have such a girly bedroom, but I am truly loving how it is all coming together, and cant wait to find more things for it!

Tea Cup Thursday

I do not know much about tea cups, and tea pots. Recently though I have become very interested in just how pretty they are. A simple tea cup placed the right way can really make a very nice piece of decoration.  One of the best places I have found for tea cups recently has been from Auction houses. Last night when we came home there was a big package waiting for me on the porch! Once opened I realized these were some auction finds! 

First up is this beautiful gold footed tea cup and saucer. I don’t know much about it, the only identifying marks on it are E-3005. Can anyone out there tell me anything about it? 

Next up I scored this Royal Halsey set, very pretty. Although the cup wasn’t in the packaging, I am hoping the auctioneer still has it and will mail it to me. 

Then I got this floral patterned set. I love the colors on this one; they remind me of springtime and fun! 

One of the cuter things I got was from this lot, with the tiny tea cup, still not sure what I will do with it. I just couldn’t pass up this treasure! In fact the larger cup on the right is bone china!

I also managed to get these two lots of bone china. One of them is Staffordshire and the other is Royal Stafford. I love the colors of the pink and white one; in fact the cup itself reminds me of a tulip! 

The last thing I want to mention from this auction is the great lot of mason jars that I somehow bought for a whopping $1. I have always loved the blue mason jars, but I can’t imagine myself paying $10 for just one at the antique stores. So I got three of them for $1. The clear glass didn’t make the trip, it ended up broken.

Overall I am very much in love with the lots I managed to get! I also got a few other things an Avon vase, and some candlestick holders.  I am not sure what I am going to do with the tea cups, if they will go in the booth or if I will somehow incorporate them in my house!

I am going to try my first attempt at linking with some one! Mrs. Spencers Tea  Cup Thursdays!
