Kind-of-a-High Dollar Teacup . . !

I wonderfully added to my collection on Sunday.  Yep a sign said Estate Sale:  and Sunday could be 50% or 75% off!

I chatted, and oohed and ahhed over a lady holding a teacup at the checkout table.... She says.. well you can have it.... I have all this that I need to ship (she bought over $115 stuff !!!)

This is the doooozzzzzy of a teacup!   Now for the MATH   
First excited picture in my car.... Price Tag   (what I call High-Dollar, and probably the reason no one bought the cup on Friday or Saturday..... was $15.00 for This Elizabethan and $15.00 for a JULY Royal Alert cup/saucer!)

I'm @ $7.50.... and that's still a stinger for me! 

 A Friday Morning Garage Sale...... Embroidered Yellow and Green offsets my teacup ~ below!

I worked in my Sewing Room..... and felt creative and cute with quilting blocks.

I'm drinkin 'decaf' this time of evening!

Beverly's Delight... in a cup!

There are big ships and small ships.  But the best ship of all is friendship.  ~Author Unknown

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

My Garden . . Tipping My cup in Honor Of My Father!

June has been a tough month..... birthdays, deathdays, Father's Day, anniversaries... what was and used to be, and would have been.....

By and by, when the morning comes,

When the saints of God are gathered home,
We’ll tell the story how we’ve overcome,

For we’ll understand it better by and by.

So, I've sought the Lord in daily prayer.....

then I've brewed a cup....

didn't finish after a sip or two....

But I cherish no less my fancy with a simple beautiful gold lining and pretty handle on the Royal Windsor cup!

Sometimes.... I feel like a motherless child....... 

a long way from home....

But..... I know my future.....

My garden blooms....

 My daddy smiled.   He loved me best!

 He kept the faith, He fought a good fight.

Henceforth. now and forevermore.... is laid up for me a crown of righteousness... and not for me only but for all them that love the Lord   (II Timothy) - my paraphrase!

Have a great week!

Delight yourself with my friends!

I have a new TPFRIEND  @

Tea Time ~ 2 Live Simply !

All Things Royal !

It's the First Tuesday in the Month of May.......2014      ~  

And last night... I danced in my chair.... for the world to see.... in Downtown Oklahoma City @ our Thunder Game!  Sideways...Upside down...yippee!!

And today.... with equally supreme joy!!!  (Thank you Lord) !!!  I drink from an overflowing cup of thankfullness and joy in the simple things in life!!!

 I'm a little mystified that this cup does not say "REGAL SERIES" as I googled out several other collectors across the web???   

But, I'm partially over that.

You see me! Enjoying my te @ work today!   My really, really favorite color is BLACK!

Yep... in so may ways!
