A teacup with a snack plate

I recently acquired a vintage bone china teacup with a matching snack plate from a friend who was looking to rehome the set.

 

 

Of course, I was more than happy to give this lovely set a new home!

 

 

Last weekend, I went to my church's plant sale and picked up a couple of indoor plants: violets and a Christmas cactus. 

I accidentally scratched the inside of the pink floral teacup, so I repurposed it as a planter for my Christmas cactus! Here's hoping that these 2 plants will fare better than the Easter lilies! 

A mug from a church rummage sale

Last Saturday, I attended the first church rummage sale of the season. They didn't have any vintage bone china teacups or teapots, but I did spot this pretty floral contemporary mug.

 

 

Did I need another mug? No.

 

But it was only $1 CAD... 

 

 

 ...and I loved how the interior said "A cup of tea just for me".

 

So I considered the mug purchase as a charity donation!

Do you remember the Oriental lilies that I purchased in late March?

 

I was thrilled when the lilies started to bloom in mid-April!

 

 

But then the leaves started to fall off and the remaining buds started to turn brown...

 

Maybe I watered the lilies too much?
