I have a thing for teacups made by Royal Albert. Yes, that is a strange problem I know. This teacup is my Mother's, I borrowed it for some photos. It is called Highland Thistle. 
Isn't it pretty perched here. This book was a sweet gift from my oldest son. He has a love for classic novels and in his search for some new titles he picked this up for me. I thought that was very sweet. The cosmos and zinnias are still blooming in the garden but their days are numbered, because we will soon have our first frost.
Do you have a favorite teacup manufacturer?
