No Information

 Hopefully there is someone out there that can give me the answer I seek on this gorgeous cup!
I have searched the web , Ebay and Etsy and have come up empty handed  on any information on this cup.
I found this at our local Good Will and I fell in love with the blue color and flower motif . This cup is extremely light weight.
The foil sticker has no info on it the capital N and the #222 give me no clues!
 There are no cracks , chips or crazing noted.
Doesn't appear to have been used, there are no stains in the cup.
On the bottom there is a small rust like area.
So as you have guessed I do not even begin to have a age  to work with.
I would like to list this in my Vintage Etsy shop but I really need to have a bit more information.

So any ideas, opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Crazy Shopper

I was just on Etsy checking the teams that I am on to see if there is anything new going on.
I realized that I am not the only crazy shopper. Oh my goodness.....just to think about it makes
me smile. There are people that buy tons of suitcases, picture frames and if they do not buy that one item that they talk their selves out of they can not sleep for thinking about it and go the very next morning to buy it! I do that too!!
One time I bought a vintage decorative tin ( I do not even collect these ) then I found another and another....you get the point. I have so many tins now that I have no idea what to do with
them! Some are still in the shopping bags I brought them home in, some I look at and don't remember buying them...now isn't that sad! Maybe I will put them in my Etsy shop. Maybe not!
It is a vicious circle tins,buttons,vintage jewelry,cherubs,stationary and the list goes on and on.
Oh and I can't forget the beads, they are every where .
Maybe I need to have a yard sale! Nah...that's too much work....I think I will just keep it all .(he he)
Well just a few before bed thoughts.....good night all , Eva

Violets




Violets The Perfect Hostess......These are so gorgeous! They look new. There is no discoloration

on the luncheon napkins even though the plastic is torn open. The saucer mats look like fabric. They were made in Great Britain out of paper.Oh...the luncheon napkins were made in Denmark. They are a work of art in their own right.

When I find things like this it makes me wish I lived in the days when people had friend and family get together's and also dressed for the occasion.

Even though the box color is faded I think I will list these in my Etsy shop.

Sharing afew thoughts with you on this lovely Friday evening.

Vintage Jewlery Findings

Saturday my grand daughter Christine and I went to our local Salvation Army shop.
As you might guess I frequent this place often, but I actually had not been to the shop for a few weeks.
Have you ever noticed that you always seem to find things that you really do not need , but then you justify your purchase by reason of charity....blah blah blah. You know what I am talking about!
Well it just so happens that I am into making jewelry ( amongst many other things ) and I was wishing that I had the old style bracelets.
You guessed it...that's exactly what I found and for a really good price plus 25% off.
The jewelry cement is no good and the key chain,tie clip and one necklace are tarnished, but the
bracelets ( there are 2 ) are in perfect condition. I am so excited for this coming weekend so
that I can put something together. Oh ya maybe I will use the India glass beads ( made in India )
that I also purchased for 99 cents. There are 84g. in the unopened package and there are several different styles of beads and blue colors.
I will keep you posted on my progress in the jewlery making buisness.
Just afew thoughts from Eva
