A few weeks before Christmas, I was at an antique mall supposedly shopping for others when I spotted this lovely old pink teacup that was calling my name. It was just $10, but I was supposed to be shopping for others. So I made a deal with myself: This teacup was at one corner of the antique mall, and if I still wanted it when I got wayyyy over to the other corner of the antique mall, at the end of my journey, I could go back and get it. I did, and so I did.
When it's all gray and rainy outside in the wintertime, what could be nicer than enjoying flowers on a teacup?
It was in perfect shape, too, which was surprising for such an old (perhaps German) piece. I especially loved the detail on the saucer's border—and I must say I don't regret acquiring this one bit!

Your tea cup is definitely worth going alllll the way back for.
I like to call my flowered plates on my walls, my winter flower garden.
That's beautiful, I'd have gone back for it, too. Enjoy!
Great plan and I'm glad you got it!
Gorgeous!

Beautiful cup/saucer. Made just for rainy, dreary days!
That is a really pretty teacup - I love the colors.
That is a very pretty cup and saucer. The shape reminds me of my Great Grandmother's dishes.
Just beautiful! :)
