Teacup Tuesday!

Hooray!! I have been given  a few more teacups this week. I can continue to participate! woot woot!!
This teacup is a teacup with yellow roses and a bit of pink in the center. Very pretty..It reminded me of Queen Elizabeth's Royal wedding ensemble.
 It's a Royal ascot, "Genuine Bone China" England. What goes better with this than a review of our favorite Royal Wedding hats... My favorite was Queen Elizabeth in her beautiful lemon-butter yellow ensemble. The roses on the wide brim, so pretty!

 



Just stunning and so full of grace.










Princess Eugenie: we have all seen this one, and heard the many jokes , but I love hersense of fun! Selling her hat for over $130k makes her a brilliant marketeer and business women.

Tara Parker Tomlinson, that royal blue was beautiful.

Look! Real Men do wear PINK! HAPPY PINK SATURDAY!

In June, a PINK fire truck rolled into a local spot to bring help raise funds and bring more awareness to breast cancer. Nationally firemen are coming out in support of Breast Cancer Awareness. They are wearing Pink tee shirts, driving Pink fire trucks, and even walking in Pink heels. They are using their own personal time to achieve their goal of raising funds for research to find a cure.
Many visitors have signed the pink truck in honor of someone who has suffered from breast cancer. What a Happy Pink Saturday!
