My sister Margo and I have been collecting them together (its a sister thing) Margo's collection is so pretty, and they are different than mine.
We often go antiquing together and its always so fun to see who will spot the first three legged tea cup.
Many times we will go antiquing with our Mom and Dad and you know who usual will spot the first three legged tea cup..Yep its Dad!
Gary and I stopped by an estate sale a few weeks ago and he found one three legged tea cup for me..its always so exciting to find one, its like finding gold..well to us girls who love tea cups that is.
Since this post will be photo heavy I will show you my sweet little tea cups in two posts.
I recently meant Tracie from Fishtail Cottage, she also loves three legged tea cup like me. I told Tracie I would post them for her to see, so Tracie this post is for you.
Stay tuned for part two of the three legged tea cup post.
Enjoy your week and know I'll be thinking of you all until we visit again.
I have linked up with Sandi from Rose Chintz Cottage for her Tea Time Tuesday. Please stop over at Sandi's and see all the lovely tea cups.

Such a pretty collection! I have one of these, I'll be waiting to see if you have it when you post part 2!
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty tea cups...you have an amazing collection! I collect vintage Ball Mason jars and it's always fun to find another one to add to my cllection too! ~Deb~
ReplyDeleteWhat a lot of beauty and variety! Do you have a favorite? I was trying to figure out mine, but it's impossible; although, that filigree plate one is pretty special.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful collection!! They are all so beautiful....don't know which one I like best. how fun u have a sister to go antiquing with!
ReplyDeleteThese are simply beautiful, Elizabeth! I love teacups and I certainly haven't seen many 3-legged ones! Yours are stunning.

Oh my! You do have a lot of those little beauties. And this was only part one...looking forward to seeing the next part.
ReplyDeleteI had one once but can't remember what happened to it, but I will have a new appreciation for them when I spot one now. Yours are beautiful.
I also collect teacups...and just discovered I only have one with the three legs! I don't really collect teacups...I just have some that I have accumulated over the years...but never really go out looking for them in particular...
ReplyDeleteI must go back and look to see if you have the one I have... :)
they really ARE beautiful..

Hi Elizabeth, Your tea cup collection is amazing!
ReplyDeleteIts so fun that you and your sis collect them!
{Makes gift giving even easier} :-)
My tea cups are still packed from the move...we have some renovating to do before I unpack all of my pretties! Until then I will just enjoy yours!
Thank you for sharing,
Hugs, Dolly
You know what my friend...there isn't ONE of the teacups that I wouldn't put in my home. I absolutely love them all. The daintier the better in my book. Gorgeous collection.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting and for your sweet words...you always bless me!

Your collection is just stunning!... makes me want to run right out and treasure hunt today!... I know what you mean about the sister thing, my little sis and I do exactly the same things as you and your sister do... I also love the color red!... I did a post a while back called "Home is Where the Heart Is"... I love the name of your blog too! Signing on as a new follower... will catch up on our older posts soon, as you saw, I have a new pup that is wanting my attention right now!... xoxo Julie Marie PS Tracie is a doll!
ReplyDeleteThat was supposed to saw will catch up soon on "your" older posts ... sorry, I type really fast, I should really proofread my comments!... xoxo Julie Marie
ReplyDeleteWow, girl you DO have some tea-cups! I like them, too, but I don't think I have any with 3 legs. I'll have to be watching for some now! I think my favorite is the one with the pansies - I love pansies!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful collection. I think that I may have one teacup with the legs. Now I have to go check. I will try to send you a pic of it. I just was at Fishtail Cottage today for the 1st time and I saw her cups.
ReplyDeleteDear Elizabeth,
ReplyDelete... I've never seen one in my whole life!!!!!!! Oh they're so charming! Thanks for sharing your wonderful collection.
Love to you,
Monica xo
Ok girl....I posted my one and only cup. So sad....but I am determined NOW to correct that situation...should I say thanks????
ReplyDeleteCome and peek if you get a chance...
Hi Elizabeth! Thank you for stopping by for a visit...Your collection is magnificent! you have so many and each one is just gorgous, they have so much detail. I enjoyed looking at each one but I can't pick out a favorite. Do you have a favorite one? or one there is a special story behind?...have a sweet day! hugs, Jennifer
ReplyDeletewow - what a collection you have! Many from the 50's- so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOMG!! You are killing me here with that "to Die For" collection!! Each one was more beautiful than the next!!
ReplyDeleteI am so very jealous!!
LOVE them all!
Hugs,
Debbie
I didn't know there were so many three legged cups. I have one lone cup without a saucer. My philosphy is that if you have one of something, that is a collection! The hunt begins!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Elizabeth,
ReplyDeleteYou have the most amazing collection of three footed teacups! I LOVE the pink one! I just won one and I'll be sharing it soon. Thanks for sharing yours and for coming by for tea.
Blessings,
Sandi
I love your tea cups -- I've never noticed the three legged ones before!
ReplyDeleteYour collection is stunning... I have afew, three footed cups but never knew there were so may varieties...and you have them displayed so beautifully ... Funnily enough, my passion is teacups and teapots too... I wonder what that means...that we like to drink tea or serve it or that we once 'teapots' in another life ( Ha Ha) ... Lovely post, Elizabeth xoxox
ReplyDeleteHi Elizabeth. Have you ever come across another of the pink and gold tea cups that appear second in your list here? I dropped my saucer today and it smashed to smithereens. Love to hear if you've found a place I can order another.
ReplyDeleteWith thanks from another three-footed-tea-cup-lover,
Julie (in Ottawa, Ontario)
What an amazing collection! Reminds me of my mommy, too! I love GG's gloves! Never saw those before! What a treasure from your Grandma! She was a proper lady!
ReplyDeleteLove you!
Loved these! I've been looking for 40 years for a cup like the one of my grandmother's that got broken by a stray cat jumping in the window of my bedroom (there was no screen and the duplex backed up onto an alleyway). It was shaped much like your #14 and 15, but with pink floral top and a gold crosshatch design on the bottom, and the crosshatch on the rim of the saucer. I've been searching the internet lately. I come across some lovely cups, such as yours (one of which I actually have, near the last of your series of photos).
ReplyDeleteI have quite a few I was saving them for my Grandaughter but I feel they will just get rid of them. Running out of space
