Aibu to ask for help in finding this?!

[Christmastits]

So Mumsnet is apparently pretty good at finding things! (Floffel) etc.

My mum has been diagnosed with recurrent breast cancer 16 years after she first had it in her other breast. So I'm trying to cheer her up during her chemo sessions and whilst she's resting from her reconstruction.

One of the things she loves is tea and teapots, so can anyone help me find this tea cup?

She has the milk jug, and the teapot but not the teacup, it was around in 2013 but the ones they're selling now are more overtly 'Alice in Wonderland' I know it's a massive long shot but she's having a really crappy time, and I just want to cheer her up. She's been looking to complete this set for years

(God knows why she didn't just buy it when she got the teapot)!

Is it bad to message her asking her not to fill the teacup up with wax??

Not bad! Message her and tell her you want it but no wax. Etsy sellers are individuals aren't they so she'll be happy to help.

Aww, great work, JustKeepKnitting

Happy to have found it :-)
Seconding Cheap, I'd ask for it without wax too.

Eek!! I've messaged her asking for it sans wax... nothing ventured nothing gained right??

She said yes!! 😃 so I've ordered it!! Thank you thank you thank you!!

Hooray! Love the power of Mumsnet when it comes to finding stuff!

Oh this is a lovely thread. Mum's net at its best. Hope that cheers your mum up OP. Best of luck to her in her treatment.

Amazing news so pleased!!

The Etsy person is awesome! I'm
So happy!

This thread has cheered up an otherwise miserable day. Yippee!

You lot rock

So apparently the teacup and saucer will come in a wooden chest with a silver spoon. So it'll look really nice ❤️ I seriously can't wait to see her face!

So thank you mums net you've helped make someone's year! I'll post a photo when it arrives

I love a happy ending.

Wonderful! I spent some time looking yesterday evening and just logged on to see if one had been found; brilliant.

It's arrived!! 😃❤️ she loved it so much!

Thank you mums net!

It's really cheered her up

The Etsy lady added the 'I love Mum' plaque and the mini candle ❤️

Oh how lovely, I’m glad another lovely mumsnetter helped you find it.

Must be such a tough time for your Mum and little things like this will mean the world.

💐

Wow that came quickly! Lovely to hear that it cheered her up, the collection looks good altogether :-) x

THIS is why Mumsnet is so brilliant. Forget all the trolls and gfs and cfs and nutters.

Sending your DM very best wishes OP

Who's been cutting onions in here? *sniff

This is so lovely. Well done mumsnet and lovely Etsy seller!

It's so amazing! She's so happy!! The Etsy lady was absolutely amazing
