Although I like them very much, I have not bought any because they do command a higher price than I am willing to pay right now. ( I have set a limit to what I'll pay for a teacup ) They are beautiful though. <br /><br />Do you think there are more people who appreciate this workmanship now ? Art seems to ebb and flow with fashion, but true art ends up flourishing in the end . Unfortunately for real artists, not in time to provide for them and their families .KathyB.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13076933273610590290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7727638102193854145.post-68477510451954003082014-01-14T15:56:38.096-08:002014-01-14T15:56:38.096-08:00Hi Ruth!

I used to be fine with the blogger follow thingy - and somehow got a Linky follow then, too. But, when I migrated to WordPress, lost all of that. I feel like I'm starting all over again and don't know how to keep up with followers. I do the Google + circles - but they are confusing and I don't know how to use them. I try to get folks to follow me on facebook - THAT I get - but now I have to get people to be sure to "Get Notifications" under the LIKED that they click on there or else they probably won't get any of my posts. FB is blocking in an effort to get all us small fries to PAY. Gah! Just trying to keep the conversation going with people who WANT to be in conversation, ya know. Anyway - nice cups. Sad story about Melba - love how you have all the details. I am going to favorite your Etsy shop on my Etsy - hope you'll do the same. I may have to bug you for help identifying some of my stuff. Man - what I job I have ahead of me!<br />Joy!<br />Kathy<br />P.S. Yea - Ed's rooting for Seattle since our Eagle lost. But - we got further than anyone expected and just watch out next year!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7727638102193854145.post-85619825855691517342014-01-14T14:43:15.220-08:002014-01-14T14:43:15.220-08:00Oh I love visiting your blog - I always learn som...Oh I love visiting your blog - I always learn something every single time I come by.

That is great news about the Seahawks!! I do like your Melba trio today. I haven't seen it before. It reminds me a little of the Woodland Shelley teacup that I just found but it was missing the saucer. Lol. Thank you for hosting Tuesday Cuppa Tea! Hope the Seahawks win against San Fran this weekend!
