5 - Cup

It's chilly here this morning so I decided to make a pot of hot tea. The rose china cup is one of my favorites. I found it several years ago at an estate sale. I just went to look and hadn't planned on buying anything, but the lone cup & saucer caught my eye. I imagined that it had been a favorite of the lady who had recently passed away and I felt that her lovely teacup needed another good home.

Yes, it's very pretty. Maybe I'll stop using mugs after seeing this, it's so dainty and ladylike.
