Replacement for Tea Treasures

My parents delighted in this set of tableware.   How and when the cups suffered cracks from wear and washing....????

Don't know.....

I'll have to try to recap a bit of my parents retired life....

Anyhow...  here is the new....  I visited an antique shop somewhere outside of Ponca City OK a few weeks ago --- 

Disciplined (Maybe) in my Tea Cup Selections

Now a days.... it's like another pair of shoes or blue jeans.....   Do I really need it when the other is not worn out/nor quite out of style?   Ear-rings however are always purchased at a discount.

So, when I find an estate sale.... certainly some dear, sweet, lovely lady who likewise cherished a good sip of tea..... and the probably ungrateful kids???<<>:P^^&%($ have discounted her tea cups for sale.

It's still with a lot of thought that I consider if the tea cup is going to really be special to me!!!!  Then its a warm cozy feeling, or a color combination (red or blue@) that I've oft wanted and found glorious....

I also can more so tell if a cup will really be drinkable... that is usable...day to day!  It's not the lightest of weight BONE CHINA....  it has a little weight to handle the heat, the microwave, and the kitchen sink cleanup.....  It molds ROUND (not too swervy) on the lips.. to SIP!!!

YES   I think I know what I'm doing now a days!!!

AHHH   HAAAAH ???   The disciplined approach to the craziness of buying a teacup!

Post Election ` A Bell Tea Cup

I have resisted buying.... just for cute.    Maybe I feel some tea cup displays are "run of the mill"... but that's not what I really feel.   It's more so -- that because there are MILLIONS of pretty tea cup to be purchased EVERYWHERE.... that special women have collected these jewels.    What I often see... is too very similar to my own SPECIAL run of the mill collection..

Banish the wording.....  The Mill yet overflows.... is yet open for business.  

Sooooo.... I first noticed the pretty HANDLE that was similar to Royal Albert..... I gently began to check for chips or wear.   Ok... very good.  But the bottom inspection said NARCISCUSS Fine Bone BELL China ENGLAND..

This is a new one for me!   Oh so lovely... the tulips are often the first to bloom.   And for $5.00 the cup and saucer was mine to take home.    I had lunch at ALL ABOUT CHA.... a wonder tea house in OKC.....  and then I scurried over to Barnes Noble for a $2.00 sale table on the ever-popular coloring books/journals.   WA-LAH!!!

Sister. Sipuel ~~~ Still sittin and sippin!

It's post election. My teapot yet brews..... I have a greater sense of peace In my daily life...... indeed there is an apprehension in the air of my soul!!  I am pressed to prayer and my hope is sustaining  

In hope.  

Sippin' to Election Bliss

I'm bloggin on the biggest day of the..... hmnnnnn..... whatever and however I try to phrase this election year!!!!

It's a hodge-podge.....

Luke 12:22
Then Jesus said to His disciples, "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat, or about your body, what you will wear.
