Teacup Thursday! How quickly the weeks go by! I finally got all my Christmas decorations put away and the house is back to normal. I spent all of yesterday with my dad at his place taking down his Christmas and putting up his winter snowmen. I was pretty tired last night.
I do decorate my tearoom for Valentines as soon as I take down the Christmas things. It's not that far away and it makes me happy. I recently found this lovely burgundy colored cup and saucer. It's a Royal Albert. I am on the hunt to find some cup and saucers that are burgundy. My flash kept distorting the true color on the cup. It's really a deep burgundy color.
Thanks to Miss Spenser for hosting our Teacup Thursday.
I now have 4 teacups that are in the burgundy color zone. I'm still on the hunt but isn't that part of the fun?
Last Sunday Jim and I went to a flea market and I found a little quilt with a bit of red work. I found a great wire basket in Poulsbo in December and thought it would be fun to fill it with fabric hearts. This little quilt was just perfect to cut up and use for my project. I love finding things that I can give new life to and usually I can get them for a good price! So this afternoon after bible study, I set the day aside to start my little Valentine project. I haven't finished stuffing them but yet, but I hope to do that in the next day or two. I will have to do another blog post to show the finished project! You can see my work here. It was really fun to have time to be creative. I am going to try to do more this year!

Love your red cups, Linda. Never too early to think of Valentine's...I am on the same page. Went looking for red cups but wasn't as lucky as you.

The burgundy teacups are so pretty. They are a perfect romantic color for Valentine season. (I agree that the hunt is half the fun!) Your little quilt hearts are very sweet. I'm sure they will look really pretty in the basket you found.
Thank you for letting my know how beautiful Mt Hood is with the snow cover. It will forever be my Daddy's mountain.
