LEGEND

One day the Good Queen of the Faeries was walking through the forest when she noticed something small glinting in the hazy afternoon sunlight at her feet. Reaching down to pick it up, she realized it was a broken piece of colorful porcelain. Curious by nature and interested in the whereabouts of its origins, she began to feel around, patting the soft grass and gently brushing leaves and vines out of the way. Lo and behold, she eventually came across a tiny teacup!


Cradling the ornate treasure in her elegant fingers, she observed the many cracks and lovingly placed the broken piece back into the cup. Summoning her faery magic, the Queen cast a spell on the teacup to restore it and bring it to life. Instantly, the teacup melded back together and a tiny creature popped its head up to see what was going on! The Queen smiled, and commissioned it to go forth and heal the cracks of any broken and beautiful things. With that she blew a kiss to it, and it was forever embued with faery magic.


This was the first Teacup Poppin. From that day forward, Teacup Poppins began arising from small, broken and unwanted pieces of porcelain that once belonged to teacups. Their beauty restored, they devoted their days to traveling through every land, searching for other porcelain fragments and other broken things and making them new.
