    Default my daily pix #3 UPDATED

    Today I have a little picture quiz for you. I just had a cup of tea and I thought it would be fun to have you all guess my favourite cups. I have a different favourite cup for my breakfast tea, a different one for mid-morning tea and another one for afternoon tea. One of these tea cups I don't use much. See if you can guess which ones I use for my tea during the day.

    Post your answer as: "Starting from the left ..."

    My husband uses soup mugs for coffee every evening. I use one similar to the far right one.

    I love the last one and first one the most.

    1st-morning tea
    2nd-not much
    3rd-evening (green one)
    4th- afternoon

    Thought I'd add some more info about the cups.

    From left:
    1. Kath Kidson mug bought in Sydney when I went there in May. Price approx. $25.

    2. Villeroy and Boch's Petit Fleur breakfast cup and saucer. Price approx. $60. I have the entire set of this.

    3. Ikea's Zen cup. I bought this last week when Susan and I went to Ikea just before she flew home. Price: $4.

    4. English tea mug that we sell at our store for $24.95.

    Carolyn, I like black tea but I also drink green tea for health reasons. I have mine with one sugar and no milk.

    Oh dear, no one guessed correctly. Looks like the all expenses paid, first class trip to Australia won't be awarded.

    From the left:

    1. Blue mug - afternoon tea - it's small, I can't drink a lot of tea or coffee in the afternoon as it keeps me awake.

    2. Petit Fleur - rarely used. It's got a saucer, too much washing up.

    3. The Zen cup - morning tea. This is the cup I've been taking onto the front verandah for morning tea at about 10am. It's a big cup with a huge surface area so it cools down quickly so I can drink it.

    4. Pink english cup - breakfast tea. I like a big cup of tea first thing in the morning and this fills me up and doesn't go cold quickly if I don't drink it straight away.

    Thanks to everyone who took part.

    LOL Quilter. My policy is you must be 100% correct. Sorry, good try though.
