Teacups in November

     November has arrived.  And it is time for Tea Cup Tuesday but I have some pictures to share first.
  
This week we are still recovering a bit from the storm of last week.  Although we suffered no wheres near the devastation as they did in the coastal area we got a lot of wind and lost a number of trees.
      Here are a some pictures to show some of the mess.  My husband will be working til spring cutting up all the wood I imagine..  There were at least 10 big trees down and numerous smaller ones.

The day after my husband started to cut up some of the wood the deer arrived to enjoy all the leaves that were now closer for them to nibble. You can see the first of the woodpile.  It is only from branches he has trimmed.  The big stuff awaits.

      This part weekend we ventured up to Syracuse, NY to visit with daughter and family.  While there we went to a grandson's cross country meet.  It was the first time we had ever seen him run in a meet.  He CAN RUN!!!
      The weather was strange the whole time.  It was raining then spitting snow then rain again.  Didn't every really see the sun.
      However, we did manage to get to the Syracuse Regional Market.  And it was another good time.  We bought some things for the shop and some things to eat.  There were still lots of veggies and fruit vendors there.
  Here was the selection at one table.....

And while there I was on the lookout for Tea Cups and saucers at usual.  Only one vendor had ANY!  Here is a picture of that group.

The majority of these were unmarked but probably Japanese, including the geisha ware cup and saucer and plate.  There were several demitasse sets as well.  But I was pleasantly surprised to see they had one Royal Chelsea.  As I said a couple of weeks ago, I had never seen one before the set my husband had bought for me.  And now I have seen two.  I don't think this one is as pretty as the one I have but had to photograph it to show you.  I am sorry one picture isn't too great.  But I was doing the photographing in a hurry and didn't realize the one wasn't very clear.  But I hope you get the idea.

Hope you enjoyed the cup and saucer and the quick trip to the market.
