Tea cup candles {Newbie party started}
I have a very lovely collection of vintage tea cups that have been passed down to me from family, both an Aunt and my FIL.
There is no shortage of china in my house.
I saw these lovely tea cup candles on a wedding site, and they say they were from
Anthropolgie.

Very pricely I may add. about $23.00 a tea cup. Ummmm....I don't think so.
How about Free for me!
I brought out a few of my favorite, and I decided I would make my own pretty vignette.
These music note roses I bought for $5.00 on a recent trip to the antique mall. They are so pretty!
I just added a tea light to the tea cups!
They look so pretty on our dresser.
Like I mentioned I have a beautiful collection. I am sure my FIL is happy that I love these and use them, perhaps not in a traditional way, but none the less I get to enjoy them.
Enjoy the newbie party!
Let's get it started!

*Blogging 6 months or less and or less than 100 followers.
*Would love for you to become a new friend of mine as well on google friend connect.
*PLEASE turn off Word verification, makes commenting very difficult, and you do not need it. NOW there, are two words, I mean seriously, a time killer here.
Blogger does a great job of deterring spam comments.
*PLEASE visit a few other participants, that is what you are here for!
*IF you find your link deleted, it is simply because you did not follow my simple guidelines.
*PLEASE add my link or button to your blog and/or post. I will just delete your post otherwise.
Please limit your links to two per newbie party.
thank you.
I would also like to mention, that we all should be watermarking our photo's. Which basically means, add your name or blog name to each photo. With pinterest on the rise in popularity, I see many pins out there with no name.
Do realize any party you link up to, gives people free reign to pin away, which is great, however, no name on the photo, no credit. I always source out my features and I try only to feature ones with your names on them, that is for your benefit. Even though the pin may lead back to my original post, people would clearly see it was your work, with a link back to YOUR blog.
And don't forget about the Spring'tacular party coming up soon..MARCH 12th
THE copy cat party will be in lieu of the newbie party that day.

I love your version of the tea cup candles!
I love tea cups. I used to collect them but I have too many now so I stopped...ran out of room!
Thanks for hosting the party!
Love the tea cup candles--I use them too in my house but I fill my tea cups with water and put in floating candles.
Have a great week,
Sarah
Debbie, this is so romantic & soft sweet setting with your teacups. I think I'll do this with all of mine! TY for the inspiration.
I hope you will pop by to help us bring 'angel love' for a young girl who is sick.
Thank you.
Have a beautiful week ~

What a great idea to use those teacups that way. They look very pretty on your dresser.
Such a cute idea, Debbie. It is on the same line of the candles my daughter-in-law made for me using single crystal wine glasses of assorted sizes. LOVE the idea using tea cups. I have several odd ones, too! xo Diana
the tea cups look lovely and i love thetea lights in them.I made tea cup candles a few years back but regretted it.I filled them with bees wax and a wick but the bees wax was not right, it should have been a white or pink wax, plus they were nasty to clean.
yiours are lovely.
Perfect with the tea lights. I couldn't imagine putting wax directly into the teacups I have.
Who says frugal can't be romantic and lovely?? I like your flowers, too! andrea@townandprairie
Beautiful tea cup collection and I absolutely love those music sheet roses...
I love the way you made your tea cup candles. They are even prettier than Anthropologie. Plus you can still use yours as teacups!
Deb this will probably be my last time to link up and I want to really thank you for your generosity in helping new or (like me) barely exposed bloggers get off the ground. Thanks so much for everything! XO, Steph.
I love your teacups! I have some from my grandmother and love this idea on how to display them.
These are darling, Debbie...especially for someone who collects teacups!
XO,
Jane
These are so pretty! Your teacups are just beautiful and while I have made candles with cups before, I wouldn't want to do it with my collection cups so the tea lights are great! I also use the battery-operated lights if I'm using vintage cups that are a little more valuable.
Is it wrong I want to smash those tea cups and make a mosaic?
~Bliss~
I just love teacups! Yours look so pretty being used in a non-traditional way.
Just beautiful girl..I love china tea cups..You have some great things in your home..Hugs and smiles Gloria
I don't know what you want me to do Debbie :( there is a button or something I am supposed to put on my blog for the newbie party send advice :)
You have some nice teacups. That is great that you are keeping them in the family.
Thanks for hosting tha party, Debbie. I love your tea cup candles.
So pretty and feminine, Deb. Beautiful! Our women's group hosted a Tea at church. We spent a couple of months thrifting to find all the tea cups, which we sent home with our guests as favors. Women love to go to Teas - I'm sure it's in our DNA. The idea of a tea candle is a great way to use the cups since I don't drink hot tea.
Thanks for hosting. Great way to display treasured teacups.
ok I added the button I think its the right one. See how I really need help:( O'm willing to post about it tomorrow when I am more awake if that is what you prefer
O.k. It would be you if you did it in a totally traditional way!!! I think it is so pretty and wonderful to be able to use them!
This is such a cute idea, Debbie! It's so fun to actually use the cups!
Lovely photos, too!
Love the teacups! I've been collecting china for years - it's become an obsession.
Thank you for hosting the party.
Beautiful teacups! They are just little works of art. Love the paper roses too!
Thanks for hosting. I am linking up Thrifty Finds for this week. xo-Lisa
I love these used as candle holders. I like the tea lights better than a whole cup of wax, actually...and ...Really pretty.
Go to picmonkey.com
and ck it out. A cousin to Picnik, not quite ready to go but you can leave your email and they will let you know when they are up and running...:))
HOPE it's going to be good.

Great idea, thanks for the tip:) Have a blessed day, HUGS!
The tea cup candles are fabulous! (Even more so when you get a quick effect with tea lights).
Thank you so much for hosting, Debbie!
Have a great week :)
Debbie they look so pretty and I like the music sheet roses too, did you make them?
Such a great idea, I have several of my Grandma's tea set....love the battery operation votives too! Happy Monday!
So pretty! What a great way to display orphaned tea cups, too! Thaks for sharing.
Debbie, these tea cups are beautiful! What a great way to enjoy them!!
Debbie, I just looove your tea cups! What a beautiful idea! They look so pretty! Your idea is better, that way, the tea cups can be reused.
By the way, I just tried to join the party and I think I messed up and my link won't show right. How can I fix it? I am sorry, I guess this is what it means to be a Newbie! :)
Beautiful pictures and teacups. Your vignette is so soft and romantic looking, you did a great job putting it altogether. xo ~Liz
Your tea cups are so pretty Debbie. What a great idea to put candles in them. Thanks for the inspiration to get some of mine grandmother's tea cups out.
I love your tea cup candle holders. I wouldn't be able to put wax in those beautiful cups, either! Hope you are feeling better.
What a beautiful idea for candles but oh too pricey for me. Why didn't we think of that before. Just dropping a votive in odd tea cups.
Love the tea lights! Very pretty cups!
Debbie

I love those teacups, Your's are much nicer than the other one's . Thanks for hosting.
What a wonderful idea! I love the idea of tea lights better than filling it with wax. This would make a darling table decoration for tea parties, etc!

Your cup collection is just beautiful Debbie. I am so jealous! Thanks for hosting another great party. I truly appreciate it.

Help, please.....I do not know how to link back to you or how to grab a button. I will look through your tutorials but I don't think either of these is a topic.
Thanks so much.
Love the tea cup candles, very cute.
Thank you for hosting.
I grabbed a button - woohooo!!! Finally figured it out. I still don't know how to link back but will definitely try to figure that out!!!
Sorry I haven't visited in so long. I hate when life gets in the way of blogging!!! I love your tea cup candle vignette... it's a great idea for displaying our pretty china pieces!
Hope you're having a fabulous day, Debbie!
