Finding Uses For Cute Vintage Cups

October is a wonderful month for sales in the Phoenix area. The weather was nice and cool this morning as we stood in line at Angie and Linda's  estate sale, and people were chatting in small groups instead of clinging to whatever sliver of shade we could find.
Yes, there were treasures to be found! On tables, under tables - everywhere! The house was packed.
The jewelry table was full, and I found some vintage pieces from Sweden that I can't wait to share on eBay.
Lately, though, I'm finding myself drawn to the kitchen/dining area almost as much as the jewelry table.  Why, you ask?
Three things: cute little cordial glasses, demitasse cups and demitasse spoons!  Perfect for serving small portions of dessert, or any other treat - these beautiful little glasses and cups make whatever you are serving extra special!

Check out these finds:

 These very fun demitasse cups are from Bavaria, and have matching saucers.

 Eight cordial glasses. 2 each of 4 colors - ruby red, sapphire blue, olive green and amethyst purple. So cute for the Holidays, picture them with a sweet treat in each!

 Set of 6 Russian lacquerware cups on a beautiful matching tray. Add an elegant chocolate!

Some of my favorite silverplated demitasse spoons - the perfect way to eat the dessert in the cordial cups - or stir some sugar into your espresso! An estate find!

You'll find these items on eBay soon, or find similar items at a sale near you. With the Holidays coming you could put together a great gift for a friend using demitasse spoons and cups and a gourmet coffee; and if you live in the Phoenix area a box of chocolates from Chocofin in Fountain Hills would be the perfect finishing touch!
Happy treasure hunting!
