i carry england in my heart, i carry it in my heart

two back to back posts about this same corner.  one by night one by day (see previous post)  it's that at different times of the day the same irradiates a atotally different luminosity.
it's been a while since i participated in martha's teacup tuesday but being that i just dusted the teacup cupboard and enjoyed it's newfound glory, i thought i'd share my "english country cottage" corner, in english ofcourse after months of posting in my native spanish.

 i call it my english country cottage corner but on close inspection, there is a french teacup, an american teacup, a japanese teacup as well as a vintage tin from spain.

 i also have a thing for pitchers and creamers
as you can see.

 i love this tiny painting under the vignette.  it must be the world's smallest painting measuring 1.5 x 1 inch. the larger frame my daughter got for me at a goodwill store for a mere .99c.

more from occupied japan as in japanese floral brooch, a german frozen charlotte, american cameo pin, and a french miniature copper plate with the image of marie antoinette. i guess cottage style is a worldwide phenomenon.
viva les cottages of the world and all the blogs that highlight teacups and the love of tea.
