Presenting My Royal Albert Teacup Chandelier!
Hubby bought this new black iron colonial chandelier for my birthday last year. I love the cottage look of hanging teacups from a chandelier but since this chandelier doesn't have open hook arms I just couldn't decide how to hang the teacups. I was afraid ribbons would come undone. And then it came to me...using plastic tie tags! I think it needs some ribbons too to hide the plastic ties. I could go crazy changing ribbons to fit the season and/or holiday. |

| Gosh...I've never seen blue flowers ringing the inside of a teacup like this. It is so pretty. |
 |
| Royal Albert is celebrating 100 years of English craftsmanship and these five cups represent a pattern manufactured from each of the first five decades of the 20th Century. |

I found this set of teacups at the Edmonton Mall up in Alberta, Canada in a Royal Albert store on our way to Alaska this Spring. They had other sets from other decades too...so it was a hard decision which set to pick. Of course, I managed to find a safe place in our RV to store it all through the Alaska Highway and into and around Alaska and back home. I'm so glad it made its way home without breaking.

ReplyDeleteThat is really neat! I have a gorgeous collection too, that my FIL gave us. I collect them:)
ReplyDeleteThe teacups are so pretty. I especially love the Polka Rose one. Royal Albert really makes such great teacups. It's nice that you figured out a way to display them so you can enjoy them every day.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite is the English Chintz one but they are all beautiful. No wonder your blog is called Teacup Lane. You have some beautiful china in your collection.

Sooo cute, I'm with you I would put some bows maybe mixed with a small flower like babies breath, use yellow or a shade of green and you would not have to change it as often.
ReplyDeleteGreat cups,you can't go wrong with Royal Albert.
What a great idea Sandy! I think my favorite would be the green polka dot pattern!
ReplyDeleteI think I need to stop at the store for some zip-ties! :)
Have a wonderful day!

Werna Gail - That's a great idea to use yellow or green ribbons.

Hi: I did the same thing over my table. I change the cups for every season and the ribbons. You are right it takes a lot of time. But I love how it looks. Yours are beautiful. Thank you for joining us. Have a great week. Blessings, Martha
ReplyDeleteThe Polka Rose is my favorite but they are all so pretty and what a creative way to display them. You are going to be one busy lady with the ribbons!
