Aynsley Red And Gold Teacup and Antique Romance Postcard

I welcome you! I am joining Teacup Thursday with Miss Spenser and Vintage Thingie Thursday with Coloradolady.





With Valentine's coming soon I can't help but think of red and this Aynsley, England 1940s teacup with pretty gold overlay pattern came to mind. Aynsley always has such pretty and elegant designs!



And this romance postcard postmarked 1908 has the proper romantic note. The young man with the fishing girl is chatting up the chic. The title is

We bring out a new line...

The postcard was sent and received at Clifton, New York. The Edwardian humorous romance postcard at it's best!


I am planning to make decorated sugar cookies tomorrow. Yesterday, dealing with milk allergies, I made a Victorian recipe my grandmother brought with her when she emigrated to the US from England. The cookies are called Fairings, have no milk and are basically a spice cookie. Came out well. Now I have a dairy free sugar cookie to make.

Have a great day visiting all the fun blogs!

  8. That teacup and saucer are completely gorgeous! I'm a fan of vintage paper and would normally be all over raving about the postcard, which IS very cool, but that teacup just blows me away!

    Oh, and now you've put me in the mood to bake! :)
