Teacups not just for tea

I love the way that photographer Sandra Lane has captured teacup being used not just for tea but being put to other lovely uses too...

Teacups can make beautiful candles...

They're a lovely vessel to hold a few pieces of special jewellery...

They make great vases for a few little blooms...

And how about these teacups that have been transformed into wine glasses (wine cups!?)...

This last pic is of a teacup that was given to me by my lovely friend Jenni...

Jenni bought a red teacup for my sister Jacky, a blue cup for me and a white/gold cup for herself. With the teacup came a beautiful photo of the three cups together and the following message was written on the back of the photo:

I found this tea set in a tiny little shop, and I straight away thought of the three of us, so in a mad moment I bought the tea set. I thought each one of us should have a cup and in some way remind each other of our friendship and how special it is. Down the track the tea set may once again be reunited and hopefully find a lovely home again. I will always think of the fun times we have shared over the years.

She is such a wonderful, loved and treasured friend and this teacup means a lot to me.
