New Teacup

A New Treasure

I spent part of the day at my local antique store.  I try to get there at least every two weeks just to see what they have new in stock.  This week was a bonanza!  The owner had been to an estate sale of a retired caterer!  I purchased this teacup and saucer, both in excellent condition, for $2.  I also found a set of 24 clear glass punch cups for $5. 

I have my eye on a fabulous late 1850s settee.  It will need a bit of work to make it usable so I am waiting for the price to come down a bit from the now listed $850.  I can already picture it, recoverd in a plush velvet fabric, in the sitting area of the master bedroom.
