HAVE A CUP OF ART


Yes I know I have so many cups already and I should not have bought them, but these were simply a work of art, and what better way to enjoy art than when you have a cup of lovely tea. They fit my criteria for a fine cup, a pleasing shape, easy to hold and balance in your hand and "lip friendly" and of course a lovely glaze.

I love the dark glaze going half way up the cup.

The cups look good from this angle too.

NOSTALGIA: RECYCLABLE CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS


These Christmas decorations are pure nostalgia from my childhood in Sweden.
They were wonderfully simple --  printed on paper and folded out every year.
And so wonderfully easy to recycle.
