Tea Cups and Hitty Challenge

One of the fun things about the Hitty Girls group I belong to is they hold lots of challenges that you can join in if you want to.  I have missed a lot of late, but when I saw this one I thought it was definitely something I could do as I do have a lovely collection of teacups being an avid tea drinker!

For the Challenge we had to:

1.  Find a pretty human-sized teacup and saucer.

2. Make or find Hitty a matching outfit.

3. Arrange a scene to compliment the outfit and teacup.

4. Photography the scene and post it on the group.

5. We could add up to three different pictures.

My three are:

Hitty Madge is with one of my favourite teacups with matching teapot, which is just perfect for one person.  She is wearing a blue dress I made her.  The teapot is standing on a scented pot stand I made that when heated up lets off a soothing scent.  The little pot holder behind is one of a set of four that were made for me for a blog swap a number of years ago by a blogging friend in Australia.

This is another favourite teacup of mine with a matching plate and the same pot stand as shown on the previous photo.  Hitty Natalie Rose is a perfect match in her fabulous outfit she came in.  She was made by the talented carver Natalie Wood.

Lastly we have Hitty Moana, carved by Bruce and Fung Hicks.  She is special to me as she is made from New Zealand Kauri, so has links to 'home'.  She is standing beside a lovely ivy leaf cup left to me by my grandmother.  I have a set of six of these, along with matching plates, sugar bowl and jug.  I am still looking for a matching teapot.  The green pot holder is the second in the set of four I have, and the little vintage trays are rather useful!
