Using teacups for tea is so last week. I’m talking about those vintage teacups. They are small and dainty, and they only fit about 6 ounces of tea. Drinking anything less than 12 ounces of tea is so 50 years ago. Ha … just kidding … sort of. So, I’ve gathered a few ideas together for upcycling those pretty little flea market teacups and making them useful again.

There are so many great ideas for getting those teacups out of the back of the cupboard.

I use them to store jewelry, but now I see there are so many more creative ways to use them. The fairy garden is adorable!!
The jewelry pic made me think of possibly using them for condiments/sauces & salsa serving pieces. Not sure how I got that from jewelry but I think it was just the visual arrangement. Could be kinda cool…

Oh what fun! I love the light fixture idea and the mini cake stand. The jewellery cups in a drawer – hmmmm… – might need to have those kind of drawers that close gently? I honestly do think that tea tastes better out of a fine china cup however!! Is that wierd?
Mary, these are really sweet ideas for our odd teacups or sets we don’t use anymore. Thanks for sharing them. I like the raised serving plate!
I don’t have any teacups but with some of these ideas I’d buy them.
There are so many cute teacup projects, and not enough teacups in the world!
It’s time to go thrifting!
