I hung vintage teacups in our kitchen window so I could enjoy family china beyond an occasional tea setting. The collection includes different colors, floral patterns, textured details, and gold trim.
Changing the window display
I had become used to decorating the window with objects rather than curtains. Earlier in spring, the seed-packet garland added color while we waited for the trees to leaf out.
Family teacups with different patterns
Our family had given us the teacups and much of our fine china. Hanging a few cups let me bring their different patterns together where I would see them during the day.
The vintage rooster joined the arrangement, too. From the same window, I could see the birdcage hanging outside beside the garden bench.
A serving set from Italy
My friend Laurian had brought back a serving set from Italy, adding another gift to this corner. By then, the green view outside formed a backdrop for the cups.
How the window changed later
After the original 2012 display, we added kitchen window shelving. The later photo shows another version of the space, with napkins used as curtain valances.
