My earliest memories from the fifties include waking up to the smell of coffee! Cups and saucers in wonderful colors were set out for every meal and gathering. Exactly when did saucers become obsolete and mugs become the cup of choice?!?! I can still see my mother, aunts and grandmother sipping coffee out of cups very similar to the ones on my card! Love that retro look!

So fun! I love all your coffee cups...and I agree, I prefer a cup to a mug as well!
Perfect way to use that designer paper! Love those coffee cups, great sentiment too. :)
My memory involves cups, and saucers, only used during 'company coffee' and a big milky mug of it with my dad almost every day after he came home from work!
Your card is retro-cool, but also reminds me of a set Jane Jetson served daily! So fun!

These colorful cups are so cute -- I'd pick them over a mug any day! But I don't like coffee... However, I love this adorable card!
I love your coffee creation! Great take on the sketch
I’m hoping over from the Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Hop.

what a pretty card, i love those colorful cups! ♥
Very pretty card. Great layout, images and sentiment. love the colors too.
Oh this is so cute, love it
What a great question. I love a fun retro cup and saucer! Remember how dish sets came with them? Now it's just mugs. I love your fun card and the colors you chose!
Cups and saucers were always de rigueur at my house. As a child my grandmother would serve us tea in her special cups. I never realized that we switched to boring mugs until I read this! What a special card :)
Beautiful with those colorful cups and saucers. I love the die cut Coffee sentiment too.
We always had the saucers too. I just recently got new dishes and gave up on the idea since they were never used. Sigh. Love, love this card! :-)
I just love this card Linda! I love the cups and saucers! I remember going to church lunches and suppers where you always had a cup and saucer! I sure love the smell of coffee but still can't stand the taste!
Love your colourful retro coffee cups Linda and the striped background paper that just adds to the retro vibe! There is something very civilised about using a saucer and whilst I don't mind a mug, I am very particular about it being made from bone china when I drink tea!
Such a fun card and a perfect sentiment! Those retro cups are so cool!
What a pretty fun card! These colorful cups are so cut. Love it! I do still drink coffee out of cups, at home mugs are for tea only!
I just got this set!! Your card is definitely going into my inspiration folder!
