'Sharing Your Coffee/Tea Cup'

Jeane of Artit suggested we all share a photo of our coffee/tea cup here in blog land. This mug is my morning favorite from our everyday wedding china. (two years and we haven't chipped a plate or mug yet!) Although we have lost a knife and dropped a spoon down the disposal. I drink black tea and add milk if drinking Irish or English Breakfast tea, lemon if my throat feels scratchy.. Once, at a local teahouse, I drank a white tea and it was lovely. So this is it, consider posting your favorite coffee/ tea cup!

  3. How serendipitious. I have a photo of one of my fav mugs ready to post even before reading this. I invite you to place your name on the fabric giveaway at my blog. One I post for today you may have to scroll down to find it on Wednesday's posting. Your cup is quite sweet. I drink tea the same way, plain unless English Breakfast or black tea to which I add milk. I love white tea, green tea and kukicha tea. These all tend to be a bit pricey though.

  4. This is great fun...I also drink a lot of black tea and love English tea the most (no milk for me, but lemon if I choose Earl Grey).

    Have a beautiful day!

  7. That's it! Finally, something I have in common with all you wonderful artists. I have a cup or two each day of fair trade English breakfast or Irish Breakfast tea. Not sure what makes it breakfast specific because sometimes I have it in the afternoon. smile. Right now my cup of choice at work is a lovely yellow mug with a band of painted flowers given to me by my sister a few years back - keeps her close to my heart as she moved to another state.

  10. Isn't that interesting,,,it's just the type of cup I would've imagined you holding!
    I mostly use mugs, and have several,,,I tend to swap them out, as all are favorites.
    My Nectar Of The Gods is coffee,,,,two cups in the morning do it for me, but in the summer I drink lots and lots of tea,,,,iced.

  12. Leslie, I don't know what to say...thank you and I'm very glad you visit!

    Jeane, Delicate? Me? I'm no longer the girl with the scuffed shoes, hair all undone, buttons missing? Or later in life, wearing all black with heavy black boots? Delicate? Okay, I'll give it a try!

  13. Karen, How wonderful to have a morning cup to remind you of your sister D! Do you add lemon or milk to your tea?

    Stephanie, I'm especially glad about Robyn being our link...I like her blog and her work so much!

  15. Your cup would be ideal for lemon, honey and ginger tea. Very good for scratchy throats!

  16. I buy random cups that appeal to me to use in paintings and I purchased this cup last summer. It is just the right size and the pattern is lovely. A whole set would be wonderful to have. I can see why you like it!
