Shopping for English tea cups or the mere thought of it works like an uppers drug on me. It affects me positively. I forget my worries and “growing up pains” and all I feel is calmness. For a few minutes while I scour the antique store, I forget about the world.
This blue one has the perfect color but the matching saucer has lots of yellowish stains.

I was looking for something I could hang on the chandelier.

Nice color and design but this set is from Japan.

I chose this one with the bird design.

The old lady cashier has some nice tattoos not only on her arms but also on her chest and neck.

I paid $10 plus tax for the set.

That $10 is a tiny amount to pay for a “high” only I knows. That’s cheaper than marijuana. How about you? What is that little thing that gives you a high?





I do window shopping every weekend…that helps me forget my worries also. After 6 days of working it is but right to reward myself of what makes me happiest.
