TeaCup Tuesday: Blue Spode and Diane Moody's "AT LEGEND'S END' NEW RELEASE
*
*
"Olivia Thomas had no idea that her friend's prayer would be answered only a few hours later. Stunned by an unexpected gift from someone she'd helped years ago, Olivia suddenly finds herself with unlimited possibilities. She packs her bags and heads to Caden Cove, a tiny coastal town in Maine, where she hopes to figure out what to do with the rest of her life. Little does she know her reservation at the Captain MacVicar Inn has put her in the path of a historic legend.
Trevor Bass owns Caden Cove's only bookstore and dabbles in real estate. All the locals know the grouchy bookseller is an avowed bachelor, which explains their utter shock when he invites a "tourist" to visit their book club. The mere hint of romance sends the town into a frenzy wondering if the object of Trevor's affections could be the next victim of the legend's curse. Will history repeat itself once more in Caden Cove?"

HUGE THANKS to Diane for another Teacup Novella Treat !!
Bestselling author Diane Moody does it again this time with her delightful novella series based on a family heirloom collection of vintage teacups. Each delicate cup and saucer inspires a unique stand-alone story, whether it's set in a college town in Texas, a quaint seaside village in Oregon, or a small rural town just down the road from Nashville. Follow the legacy of these teacups through tales of romance and mystery with a touch of faith.
Book One - Tea with Emma
Book Two - Strike the Match
Book Three - Home to Walnut Ridge
Book Four - At Legend's End
Just after moving to Tennessee in 1999, Diane felt the tug of a long-neglected passion to write again. Since then, she's written a column for her local newspaper, feature articles for various magazines and curriculum, and several novels with a dozen more stories eagerly vying for her attention.
When she's not reading or writing, Diane enjoys an eclectic taste in music and movies, great coffee, the company of good friends, and the adoration of a peculiar little pooch named Darby.

TY Katie! via
Royal Albert's NeedlePoint "Crown China"

Spring Floral Demitasse for Teacup Tuesday 4.9.13
I'm choosing a decidedly Spring look Teacup today!
Waking to -20 degrees isn't helping any flowers that may be
trying to decide whether to stay buried under the snowcover
or work their way up to the light of day!
So I make indoor efforts toward Spring ...

Bell China is a pottery mark of a Staffordshire pottery called Shore & Coggins of Longton.
They traded from 1911 to 1966.
Their other pottery marks included Queen Anne and Princess Anne China.
As the dates show, there is a rarity and novelty value to Shore & Coggins wares
(apart from having a fantastic sounding English name!).
They didn't produce for that long and represent a kind of 'glory days' in UK Staffordshire potting
where the market was so strong smaller family run firms could carve out a niche for themselves
and hold off the giants.
Of course, this has all changed with the giants all swallowing up the smaller firms
in the latter part of the 20th Century and then
themselves all going into administration in 2009.
As it happens, thing are going full swing now with Portmeirion,
a small family firm started in the 1960's
recently buying out the giant names of Royal Worcester and Spode for a trifling £3million.So this wee cup of mine is a little piece of English history!

"It seems everyone needs a second chance. Tracey Collins just left Washington D.C. after her dream job became a personal nightmare. Back home in Jacobs Mill, Tennessee, she quickly realizes she's not the only one needing a fresh start. Her sister Alex is in the midst of a career change, finding new inspiration restoring furniture. Their father, a former pastor who's had his own share of disillusionment, now mentors a strange bunch of misfit bikers who do odd jobs around town as ministry. Among them, an intriguing former attorney named Noah, still running from a painful past, catches Tracey's eye. Secrets are uncovered and hearts are restored in Jacobs Mill as they all work together to renovate an old smokehouse into a new shop called Second Chances.Oh, and did I mention there's a mystery of historic proportions surrounding the discovery of a rather unusual teacup? Sorry, but you'll have to read the book to find out what that's all about....
