I am back to Tea Cup Tuesday. I am glad that this event is still going on. Thank Terri and Martha for hosting tea cup Tuesday. Last year was a busy year for me as I changed my job and there were some business trips I needed to make. Therefore I did not have much time visiting you all and I must have missed a lot of tea cup posts. Hopefully this year I will be able to keep up.
Due to busy schedule, I had stopped adding new tea cups to my collection. But the other day while I was browsing the site, I came across this beautiful pink cup with dusty pink rose in it, I had been waiting to add this to my collection, I saw one for sale in a Canadian site but the shipping costs too much and the price of the cup was high, and so I waited and waited for another one to come up on the site. Yes, it did come up. This one was from the UK seller, with reasonable price tag and reasonable shipping cost. It only took 10 days to arrive.
I always got put off by high shipping cost and sometimes the shipping costs much more than the item itself, dear all, have you got put off by shipping cost and have you come across in similar situation when the shipping costs much more than item? Do you still go for it or wait to get it elsewhere? sometimes I wait to get it elsewhere but sometimes when I am sure that the item is rare, i will just snap it without second thoughts.
I envy some of you because you live in countries where tea cups are easily found in vintage stores. And shipping cost is not a problem at all.
Where do you usually find your tea cups? I usually find them on two popular vintage selling sites.
This is the first post of the new year and here I wish every one a new beginning for new year and may you be blessed with all the blessings and joy in your life.
