Trash to Treasure Tuesday

Happy spring Tuesday morning!  Welcome to Trash to Treasure Tuesday.  I was wondering this morning how many of these parties we’ve had, one of these days I’ll have to count.
Today I have some beautiful projects for mismatched teacups.  My quest for teacup projects started with the March issue of Country Living magazine, where I saw a simply awesome project that involved an old metal candelabra with vintage teacups glue to the candle spots.

It was GORGEOUS.  And I can’t find the picture anywhere.  Sigh.

I did find some others that I found equally as charming, though.

BTW, if you’re wondering I’m STILL working on my wall of frames project.  And, yes, the laundry is finally caught up.

For, like, five minutes.
Link up those projects!

  40. Thanks for the great ideas, and the great party! Here in Oz we have our own version of Better Homes & Gardens TV show, and Tara Dennis did a candelabra with teacups in February as part of a "Junk Challenge" - check the video out at

  41. I made the teacup wineglasses and they are really cute, however I'm not sure I would drink a glass of merlot from one while wearing white! I cut out the candlabra/teacup photo and have collected the items to make this, as well. I've also used teacups/saucers to make adorable little sewing kits to give as gifts - fill them with a couple spools of neutral color thread, some needles, pins, safety pins, a needle threader, little snips, a strawberry pin cushion and an assortment of neutral color buttons - everyone I have given one of these to has loved it.
