Imperial Porcelain’s Singing Garden

Sharing with you my latest tea cup find:  the beautiful Singing Garden design from Imperial Porcelain Russia.  I bought this set of tea cup, saucer and cake plate from an Instagram reseller: @londontrolley.  It was an unscheduled purchase; I was just browsing through her Instagram feed when I saw this set on sale!

The Singing Garden is a beautiful design by the celebrated Russian porcelain painter Nina Slavina (1928-2000), and which is now becoming harder to find.  The shape of the teacup is unusual and is called “Marquee” (bell-shaped with an elevated base).

I just realized I have more of these Russian brand tea cups in my collection now.  Couldn’t help snapping them ’em up because the colors (blue, white and gold) are my color preferences for tea cups (sort of like an Italian Blue collection with gold linings), and the designs are simply elegant and classic.

I hope you are enjoying my posts on tea cups.  Have not been updating the blog lately because of heavy work load at the office, but do follow me at Instagram (I am @dbrightspot there) for more recent food finds, place discoveries and other pretty things!

9 months ago this feisty little cat we named Gigi 9 months ago this feisty little cat we named Gigi came to us super dirty (gusgusin to the max), malnourished and is in bad need of treatment for worms and fleas. Who would've thought that she will bloom into a really pretty cat, with salmon-colored nose, beautiful doe eyes, a prominent white hair scarf, and powdery white cheeks. 

But she is very far from innocent, and is now feared by the male cats here twice her size because she is #GigitheCatBully pala 😅 

Happy 9th monthsary, Gigi Ganda 🥰

To My Father By Georgia Harkness A giant pine, ma To My Father
By Georgia Harkness

A giant pine, magnificent and old
Stood staunch against the sky and all around
Shed beauty, grace and power.
Within its fold birds safely reared their young.
The velvet ground beneath was gentle,
and the cooling shade gave cheer to passers by.
Its towering arms a landmark stood, erect and unafraid,
As if to say, “Fear naught from life’s alarms”.
It fell one day.
Where it had dauntless stood was loneliness and void.
But men who passed paid tribute – and said,
“To know this life was good,
It left it’s mark on me. Its work stands fast”.
And so it lives. Such life no bonds can hold –
This giant pine, magnificent and old.

~

To our shelter and safety while he lived, we miss you so much.
Happy 2nd Year in Heaven, Daddy ❤
