    They are all so pretty, Manuela! A great way to use some of those pretty teacups that you can find at the thrift store.

    These are so charming! After I stopped doing mosaics I donated all of my extra china to goodwill. Now I wish I had saved some tea cups!

      They are cute. I did some succulents in one last year and I like to put my spring primroses in them too.

    These are so adorable, you must have a very green thumb. Great idea to use cast off tea cups at yard sales and thrift stores. You’ve made them look so cute, pretty in a group. Happy weekend

    These are all so precious! I have so many odds and ends of teacups and saucers – now, I know what to do with them. I especially like the last ones from HGTV.

    Now wouldn’t that be a pretty addition to my teapot garden on the front porch? I’ll just have to dig about and see if I don’t have some spare cups!

      Yes, that would be so cute!
