My
World Cups
Travel Theme
for this week.
~~~~~
I see that this challenge was inspired by THE World Cup.
Hmmm!
Not being a fan in any way shape or form, this was nearly a ‘pass’.
My first cup comes from Queensland…and it seems to be full of baked beans.
~~~~~~
I always thought a cup an unusual way to serve breakfast.
~~~~~
This should be cup’s primary use.
~~~~~
However, the nearest thing we have that could be called ‘world cups’,
or maybe cups of the world, are these.
~~~~~
Last year we found ourselves wandering around the Johannesburg’s, O.R. Tambo Airport feeling a little lost as we did not have any ‘souvenirs’ to carry home. We had planned to create an artwork from a photo, or photos. But, it wasn’t quite the same as having something tangible to take with us. Space, in our luggage, and weight was not helping the situation.
~~~~~
With a pocket full of south African currency in our pockets ‘we’ decided that these cups and matching vases would do the trick. I think it was the zebra style pattern and overall colours which influenced us most.

Great photos. I do love your souveniers. The colours are great and really do remind you of South Africa and your trip. 😀

I love your coffee cup with its intricate “foam art” and the South Africa souvenir – very beautiful. Thanks for the pingback, BTW.

It is certainly different to anything I have seen anywhere else. It has pride of place in our house.
