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

  1. I'm always up to home another's teacup treasure. There's nothing finer than drinking tea in a pretty teacup. The smiley yellow cup just makes me smile.

  3. Your vintage snack set is a pretty one, Margie. I like the soft color of it and the delicate pattern. Your plants look so cute in your cups. Good luck with them and I hope they bloom. 💕

  4. Those teacup and snack plate sets (hostess sets) are so practical. I don't know why they are not more popular. I have two vintage ones from my late mother-in-law, probably wedding presents from more than 70 years ago.
    Repurposing your scratched up is a great idea!
