I found this little darlin’ in the junk bin at Frenchy’s, a used clothing shop in Nova Scotia. At first glance I thought it was ugly. But in the next few seconds it grew on me, and I decided that for the price (maybe 50 cents?) I couldn’t just leave it there.
So now I have a new teacup.
I like the size, and it has a false bottom, I guess you’d call it. I mean that it has two distinct layers, so it doesn’t get too hot to hold when it’s full of tea. I’m not convinced that the gold accents aren’t coming off into my tea (and body) little by little, but I still find this cup endearing.
Let’s meet her, shall we?
