My Mother has collected teacups and saucers since she was a young woman...so I'd say about 70 years. When I was a little girl, I'd love to hear 'the story' about each one...who gave
it to her, or where it came from...Since she lives in a little townhouse now, she does not have enough room for all of her belongings, so has entrusted these precious cups to me...so here are a few of them on display.
I want to thank everyone who has left such sweet comments about my Auntie Fern. I do have such fond memories of their family coming to North Dakota to stay on the farm...and of our family traveling to Minneapolis to stay in the city. She was a special lady.

I'm so glad you are taking care of your mother's teacups; they are beautiful and dainty.
The grandmother that I posted about today also collected teacups and saucers and I dearly wish I had them.
Thanks for being part of TIMHT!

These are beautiful. What a wonderful way to enjoy them daily in your displays.
I love collections -- especially ones that have happy memories associated with them. There are treasures to be sure.
My mother collects teacups also. Your mothers cups are beautiful and so delicate.
The little tea cups look like the ones I posted a while back...little tiny ones from a tea set I was given...very cool! How extra special that you have the stories to go with the cups!
What a FAB collection!!!!! I adore teacups. They are so dainty and elegant.
What wonderful treasures you have. They are beautiful and I know you realize how blessed you are to have them in your care.
I love the hanging rack with the cups and sauces on, it looks very decorative and displays them beautifully.
