When I was a little girl, living on 4th Street in Nevada, IA,, my Grandma Scott gave me my very first tea cup with Violets painted on it and thus started a collection that had one time had over 100 tea cup sets. The tea cup and saucers that are pictured below were ones I collected in the late 1980's and 1990's. I have too much stuff. I have had an off site storage unit for the past 10 years, about $6000 worth of "I just can't give this stuff up". These cups are going, either via Craigslist or at our garage sale in 2 weeks or to St. Vincent's or Good Will. One way or another, these memories are going to belong to someone else soon. Oh, don't think that I am giving up ALL my precious cups! Grandma Scott's gift is still here and a curio cabinet full of my most favorite ones of all.

| Not one of my favorites, not even sure why I bought it. Maybe it was a gift? |
 |
| One of my favorites. It has a lovely Japanese design and the handle is a dragonfly. Made of a very light translucent china. The more I look at this one, the more I want to keep it. It won't take up too much space... |
 |
| I really like the lacy look of the saucer for this one. |
 |
| A musical teacup, plays Memories. Again a gift. |
 |
| Looks like a french design. |
 |
| The design looks kind of like fish scales! |
 |
| Violet is the flower for February so I had several versions. |
 |
| Very small, very light. |
 |
| Also a small, light demitasse. |
