Jon Anton Fortune Tellers Tea Cup and Saucer

My husband had accompanied a friend to a tea leaf reader who offered to tell him his fortune too. She told him to take a long walk and he would meet his Queen of Hearts an had he walked out her front door and turned left, he would   have walked right past my house. We met in the Deserted Village of Allaire six months later where I worked in the General Store on one of his long walks   through the park. It was love at first sight and we’ve been happily married for 35 years. I don’t read tea leaves but I do believe.
