Teacups. Our specialty!
We have been collecting vintage teacups, teapots, saucers and accessories for the past several years and have acquired an eclectic collection of unique items. Each piece has a story behind it and we love to add new stories over the years as we share these beautiful pieces with our clients. Photo Credit – kellycartney.com
