Tea Time 12 - Wm Adams & Sons Winter Scenes

December 09, 2012
I haven't written a Tea Time post since mid November, when I got heavy into Christmas crafting.

Last month, I purchased a couple of saucer-less teacups at the thrift shop for $1 each. I usually never ever do this, but I liked the Christmas scenes on them.

Now what to do with two saucer-less teacups?

I was coming to the end of my Christmas decorating. and still no inspiration for the winter scene teacups.

I have turquoise cabinets in my laundry room (that is right off of the kitchen), and I decided to put this little vignette on the dryer.


A candle ring with vintage cloth sewing "garland" (that was Grandma's), the teacups and fabric star and owl ornaments.


I may look for saucers for these.

They are in perfect condition, and I love the pattern.



Thanks for stopping by!

  2. Love the cups. Sometimes an item will just "speak" to me and I will have to take it home with me. I call them rescue items.

  8. Your cute mugs remind me of the Currier & Ives dinnerware I grew up with. Memories of home.

    What a nice display for a room that can always use some cheer.

  9. I thought the same thing as Debby. They loook like Currier and Ives designs. I think my mother has a platter in this design. I'll have to check underneath the next time she uses it for a holiday meal. Pretty little teacups!

    Well done!!

  25. Hi Carlene. That just proves my point, how you can make anything out of a little bit of something. Sweet cups, I wouldn't have passed them up either. Just keep an eye out and you will probably find saucers. Looks so cute..Happy Tuesday..Judy

  26. You can always marry them with a cute similar saucer. But your vignette is darling...so creative!
    Have a happy week!

  30. Such a sweet display, so cozy, makes me want to curl up with a cup of tea and a good book!

  31. I have a bunch of plates, bowl, cups, saucers, cream and sugar and gravy boats of this pattern. I'm looking to get rid of them sadly because I am in need of the space they are taking up. If you're interested, let me know!
