I don't know exactly why, but I have an inherent dislike for tea/coffee cup decor. I think it reminds me of that mary engelbreit stuff or middle-aged 'kooky' women that collect knick knacks or an odd gift you'd get from an aunt you never see that you have to fake that you like. but at least these are clean and simple.

Thank you KTG. Repost.

lol, no one has commented yet on the stab you in the eye scissors?

foodefafa - every time i see your name, I start singing flight of the conchords. Foux de fa fa!

Not only because this seems to surface every few weeks at the cost of possible other ideas that never see light, I dislike these. They are a container and a hook, that's great. They are also a form of a teacup, overly themey and corny, in my opinion. Agree with foodefafa. Additionally, if this were a real re-use, it may be pretty cool and individual and clever and resourceful. As a mass-produced object intended to look like it's been crafted out of a real teacup, it just becomes so so so much less so. The things like foodefafa said, this reminds me of something my mother would think I liked. She means well and she's clearly a thoughtful person, and she has given me a lot including things it turns out I do like, but she guesses wrong a good portion of the time.

I think this is probably the third time I've seen that picture in a blog, and the scissors hanging open never cease to amaze me. And they look pretty rusty too.

UNINTENTIONALLY a re-post....however for the non-haters, these sourced from uncommon goods are a few bucks cheaper than those previously posted in the hook round-ups.

one thing that doesn't come across in the pictures is that the glaze on these is really glossy -- i would have preferred a matte version...
