~ A Nice Surprise Today ~ Matching Teacups for Teapot 'Rosie'

On a trip to visit my sister, took a short side-trip to
downtown Melaka and passed by an old shop
clearing it old stock of crockery , pots and pans
What  lovely find~ 2 boxes of teacups of the same design 
my 'Rosie' teapot.

matching teacups



Bought these teapots sometime ago..
lovely soft and sweet rose design
so I named it 'Rosie' teapot


since this partricular teapot does not have any matching cups,
I placed in in a basket together with  
' cawan bujang Bunga Kangkung' 
* bujang= single /without saucers
