teacups teacups everywhere

(harper's bazaar russia, apr '10)

i was at another vintage fair this weekend, this time called 'gin in teacups' and it got me wondering about the obsession with teacups at the moment! i'm pretty sure it was me who came up with the whole china teacup thing about four years ago when discussing opening a tea room with a friend (one day...)!! and since then, tea rooms have been popping up all over the shop! so here are a few of the teacups i've found around edinburgh so far... aren't they pretty? really want one for my mantlepiece. must hit the charity shops...

the chocolate tree
(spanish hot chocolate - only order if you are a devout chocaholic as this consists of a melted chocolate bar... i only managed two spoonfuls!)
