Well, it's Tuesday once again and that means that it's time for "Teacup Tuesday". This is the day of the week that I have designated to share with you photos of the teacups that I have in my collection.
I must say that there are quite a few teacups considering I started collecting teacups, teapots, desert plates, etc. about 20 years ago. A girl sure can accumulate a lot of pretty china in that period of time.
This week, I am showing off my solitary Royal Albert "American Beauty" teacup. This is a lovely pattern that has large deep pink (almost red) roses. I love both the pattern and style of the teacup.
I was thrilled to bits this past weekend to be shopping at one of my favorite antique stores where I happened upon a set of 4 matching desert plates that I just had to add to my collection as well (I propped one up behind the teacup so you could see!!) . They were a steal at just $12.50 for the set of 4 plates. That's a very good price considering how the cost of desert plates have skyrocketed over the years. Now, if I could just find a matching teapot, I be even more thrilled.
Thank you so much for stopping by for a visit. I love having visitors and reading your comments.
Come back next Tuesday to see more of my collection!!

Hi Kim, I try not to go over board with teacups, but when something like that comes along, I would probably have to buy it-very lovely!
Enjoy your day-
Girl, you have got a wonderful collection of teacups...this one is very pretty...and that's great that you found the matching dessert plates, and the price was right! Fingers crossed that you find that matching teapot on your searches for treasures. If not, there's always the always dependable beautiful silver teapots, or mixing and matching is always fun too.
I sure am looking forward to seeing more of your teacup Tuesdays!
I hope you have a wonderful day!
Big Hugs,
Queenie~
