Tea [cups] for Illustration Friday

I love Tea. Not only for its taste and warmth, but for the ceremony it seems to promote. There is nothing better than sitting down with an old friend over freshly brewed tea served in your favourite teacup-complete with saucer [to catch the biscuit crumbs of course!]

My tea is with only a dash of milk and no sugar. I think I have it this way because i would taste some of mum's tea as a child and that's how she had it-Actually I'm pretty sure my Grandmother has her tea the same way too!

What's in your cup?

[I cut these shapes from some vintage rolls of wallpaper i found at the most wonderful 2nd hand shop/salvage yard. what a find!]
