A Spot of Tea [Cup] Inspiration



We LOVE
Teacups

and, although, this one's cracked
and doesn't have a matching saucer

We still found a fun purpose for it!


We put dirt in it
and added moss, crown vetch and irises.



Then we added some tiny blue eggs...


sat the cup on a vintage handkerchief....



which makes for a darling spring arrangement!

Join us for Vintage Inspiration Friday
with Debra @ Common Ground


Then Hop on over for a Spring Craft Party
with Laura @ Decor to Adore!

    Great idea, I have a few teacups that are going to be put to use.
