Tea for tattoo

Thank you, thank you Dolly Cool Clare for sharing your recent tattoo {pic #5 below}. I’ve been humming and hawing over a possible new tattoo, and I can’t for the life of me figure out why dainty tea cups weren’t my first idea. Adorable, and have to get instant approval from mother.

Thrifty things – sailor’s farewell

What better way to update my recent lack of nautical wonderfulness than with this little treasure. A cup I thought had enough je ne sais quoi to have it’s own blog post.
