I have always love miniatures of any kind I also love mini tea sets and cups and saucers Here is just a few of them.
I found these at my favorite thrift shop
Shanna gave me this little set .I think its a beauty.
Heather gave me the large cop and saucer for mother's day and it had a gorgeous bouquet of mixed flowers in the cup.
Some off these I bought and some Heather bought and a dear friend gave me the Angel plate to watch over me.

They are all lovely, Glenda, but I would have liked to know how small they are. The set from Shanna is breathtaking.

You have some really beautiful and unusual sets there Glenda. I love the colours and shapes of the ones in the first photograph. They must all look so attractive displayed in your home.

A very beautiful collection you have. I like how the roses stand out on your tea collection.

Very nice collection. You can collect for a long time and not run out of room with them being small.

The are all very nice Glenda. The ones from Shanna must be very detailed if they are only 3½ inches tall!

Lovely treasures, Glenda.
I'm fascinated by miniatures, too.

Lovely pics. What tea goes best with minis? It has been a secret fantasy of mine to be feminine. I feel girly looking at your collection. I must admit I'm too clumsy to be closer than a picture. Enjoy nature and enjoy life.
