I found this cup and saucer in a tiny little shop that I rarely catch open. A lady who does estate sales owns it and opens it when she isn't busy with her main job. My mother and I stopped by it one day. She spotted it. I didn't get it that day as I saw a piece of sterling silver I HAD to HAVE that day. I went back a few weeks later and purchased this cup. It has heather painted on it, gold trim, the bow is a Campbell Tartan Plaid and Campbell Coat of Arms. I bought it to give my husband's aunt. But, I was BAD and kept it for myself. She was a Campbell, but I'm married to one...at least that was my selfish reasoning at the time.

What a pretty cup.
I think that reason sounds good enough to me....beautiful cup & saucer.
What a very cool cup! I have never seen one like that before. Great find!
Very neat cup and so pretty. I think your reason for keeping was a good one...;-)
Though not a tea drinker, I love seeing the tea cups posted on the blogs. They are so pretty & delicate. And you definitely needed that one.
