There's More To Tea Cups Than Cups of Tea!

There is more to tea cups than just cups of tea... I love tea cups, but I cannot stand tea - I know, how very un-British of me! So, for me, any excuse to have tea cups around the house and not have to drink the stuff is a bonus. After the event at Rokit Vintage where the Vintage Patisserie provided jasmine tea and prosecco cocktails served in gorgeous mismatched china tea cups, it got me thinking about other uses for the humble tea cup!

Teacups - Every home should have some!

A tea cup is no longer just a tea cup nowadays. Yes, of course they are still used by the traditional tea drinkers, but for the non-tea drinkers (like me) and retro, vintage and teacup lovers, the teacup has a lot to offer! They can be used as decoration, candle holders, plant pots and cakes can be baked in them...
