I found this most darling tea cup at an antique auction in Sanford, NC. She had two tiny chips out of the base, but otherwise, she's gorgeous. She has gray hair, pink handle and the prettiest red lips.

I used a piece of fuzzy vintage pink mohair for the pincushion part. It is stuffed with raw wool. The lanolin is very good for your pins and needles. Because the raw wool and the mohair attract moths, I added a fresh cedar ball to the bottom of the cup as a deterrent. I've also added three old stick pins and three old buttons to the top. Around her neck, I added a tiny piece of lace and a tiny pink rick rack.
