What Becomes of the Broken-Hearted ? Tea Cup (that is? ?)

 I truly need help! ? !  Oh yes, the obvious is to go to Replacements or Etsy and BUY and replace it.     Somehow.... not quite me (something I've not done in ordering and paying as such...  I'm the eternal estate sale/yard treasure shopper)

Cry...Cry.... I chipped a pretty tea cup....

Yes, I am grieving.  A tad.   I know it was inexpensive ...  but irreplaceable....  treasured, adored!

I'm reminded that the Bible tells me to set my affections on things above and beyond this world of earthly delights (& sorrows)!

As I give thanks to God for everything.... I'll beseech Him again... that I might find a replacement or that I'll find another "temporary" beautiful Paragon Teacup!!!

As I browse my hardrive, I've invaribly saved a quote from a fellow blog-land friend....  here it is!

Keep a clear eye toward life's end.

Do not forget your purpose and destiny as God's creature. 

What you are in His sight is what

you are and nothing more.

Remember that when you leave

this earth, you can take nothing

you have received...

but only

what you have given; 

a full heart enriched by honest service,

love, sacrifice and courage.

- Francis of Assisi

GS Friday......

Garage Sale Friday.....

....sometimes on a Thursday and/or a Saturday Treasure !!!


This was the place...... UNSUSPECTING..HUH ???

 hmnnnn./////     how much for these.   $1           = ok

 all of these....      yes    =  ok

The lady becomes talkative... says her grandmother had so much stuff..... more tea-towels that she hand crocheted....

like this.... I say....    she says "Yes I'll have to get it and bring it out tommorrow...."

How much?    $1    = ok   (you know I'm happy and smiling and bustin loose inside!)

She continues to say "I'm getting rid of a lot.  Come back tommorrow!

I think to ask the really famous question..

DO YOU THINK YOU WILL HAVE ANY TEA CUPS////  ???

She thinks a minute.... says Yes... you wanna see them... they hanging in a rack inside...!!!???

I point out two of them, and her two boys pull up a chair and reach ever so gently to give me the matching sets.....the blue one & saucer... the other pretty one and saucer (there are about 4 with trinkets....)

OOOOOHHHHHH.......   SHE SAYS"   I'LL TAKE $5.00 FOR THE TWO OF THEM"

This was my first quick peek onto the back......

This pic is dusty, cobweb from years of handing unused on the tea rack.....

Lordy, Lordy... I'm back at work and sipping.   I'm googling
