A few pretty things...


Here are a few details of Nicole's gorgeous home and beautiful, beautful teacup collection.

I think this is where my love for them has come from. Whilst unfortunately I don't have as many little beauties decorating my home, I find that drinking tea in anything else but a teacup just doesn't taste the same.

What I particularily love about Nicole's collection is no two are the same, each has a different meaning and was collected at various times in Nicole's life. She also never uses the same teacup each day and rotates each of them so they all receive equa amounts of love.

  3. Just gorgeous. And a beautiful cup just adds to the ritual doesn't it, making the whole event more special. I love that they are all different. xx

  4. Such beautiful photos! I only drink herbal teas but they do taste much nicer out of a teacup than a mug.

    Warm wishes

  6. STOP THE PRESS - whilst I love the teacups...where on earth did you find those gorgeous packages of chocolatey goodness? Tell me they are real. Perhaps its the hour (around 8pm) but I could definitely indulge myself with a few trays of those chockies.

  16. So much loveliness in these pictures. Love how you put the flowers with the tea cups. Anything will taste better in a pretty tea cup, that is for sure. It makes you take pause and enjoy the process, which is my motto.Enjoy the Process, Kathysue

  18. Dear Kellie,
    It's the only way to drink tea.... and such pretty cups, too. The cakes are just as pretty and look delicious. It is so easy to let these traditions die out so, it's lovely to see that lots of people still drink their tea out of a beautiful cup and saucer. XXXX

  20. Oh dear Kellie. I have at least 50 vintage tea cups and a few new vintage style ones. Like the blue Maxwell Williams one above. I cant help myself and I never drink out of anything but beautiful china. Lifes simple pleasures :)
