Isn't she lovely? There is a story behind this teacup. Many years ago, my great aunt gave me a teacup just like this from her collection. It meant so much to me, that she'd give me one of her teacups.
Several years later I used it for a tea at my church, and in the clean up process this cup got broken. It made me sad, but teacups are just things, so life went on.
The other morning I woke early and saw that there were some new things similar to things I'd looked at before on FB Marketplace. I clicked and there were a collection of teacups for sale. I have a lot and don't really need more at this time, but there was this 'Florida Oranges' by Elizabethan in the group.
I contacted the seller to see if they were still available, and when they were I asked if they'd consider selling me just the one. They agreed!
The price was very reasonable, and I would have paid more since it has sentimental value to me.
I did a porch pick up yesterday, and brought her home.
I'm happy to have a tangible reminder of my great aunt, again, and to have it be this beauty is very sweet.

That’s a truly precious tea cup!
How lovely that you found the perfect piece to remind you of your Great Aunt.
Oh, that's just beautiful. A Providential Hand in all that, I'd say. All because He knew how much it meant to you! So pleased. And what a lovely cup and saucer it is, too!
Happy tea drinking...

Such a pretty teacup...and a sweet story too! I'm glad you were able to replace such a special part of your teacup collection. And this one looks just perfect for summertime with the oranges. ♥
