Happy Teacup Tuesday!
Today I chose what my grandmother Marianne Bouchard-VanDette thought of as one of her everyday cups.                                                
She loved pale yellow and this cup shows that love perfectly. 
It has a small rose cluster inside the rim and some gold trim around the edges. But the charm I believe lies in the way the white and yellow shading is arranged in scalloped or fluted edges.

I have arranged the cup and saucer on a bought doily that came from grandmere's stash, and the stamp on the back reads:

Have a wonderful Tuesday and try to stay cool with a lovely cup of tea!

    Hi :) This is such a beautiful, and very special teacup you have shared with us! I love the soft pale yellow and the sweet little rose on the inside. MOst of the cups that I have are in colors of either pink, blues or greens...I don't have a yellow one in my collection. Seeing your beautiful cup makes me want to add one to it :) Thank you for sharing this lovely cup with us today.

    Happy Teacup Tuesday!

    Warmest hugs, Brenda

    How lovely to have this cup from your grandmother. It is a beautiful cup, such a precious yellow with the pretty flower inside. I love the fluting as well.
    Thank you for sharing about it today. You and I both had yellow cups today : )
    Hugs,

    That is beautiful. Beyond the lovely color and the flower, I love the unique scalloped edge of the cup and saucer. In fact, I recently bought a scalloped cup and saucer at a thrift store. I just HAD to have it because its shape is so unique.

    You photographed it so beautifully.

    And, in response to your comment on my blog, yes, a son that can fix your computer is just as wonderful as a daughter who makes teacup topiaries. What a blessing we are given in our children.

    Love,
    Patti

    I love your teacup and saucer; The fluted sides of the teacup and the way the design makes the saucer's edge look scalloped is so elegant.

    love the tea cups. I just rearranged my dish cupboards and came across four different old tea cups, that at one time I brought back from Germany. They also have little cake plates.
    You inspired me to use them next time I have tea with someone special, but first the heat wave has to break. Ice tea for now!!!!!!!
    God bless, Evi
