Looking for a very specific mug.

My Dad got a mug for Father's Day however many decades ago, and while packing up the house to move, my parents discovered that mug was damaged. So since I "know the internet", I got tasked with finding a replacement. The problem is, the quote on the mug is wonderfully generic "My Heart Belongs to Daddy", plus the whole colloquial definition of Daddy changing to something very... we'll say romantic... in the interim between when the mug was (probably) purchased and now.

Here's some photos of the thing in case anyone else wants to give this a shot:

The artist (at least according to what's on the mug is "jill:, but I have no idea if that's their first name, last name, or just something they signed the original art with. Anyway, thanks for giving a look.

    A reverse image search turns ups https://ofkaz.com/phoenix-one-of-a-kind/my-heart-belongs-to-daddy.html

    Looks like you could probably get the mug if you buy the cactus with it.

    In swear to fuckin' god, I tried the image search and never got even close to finding it.

    Thank you very much.

    edit: Local deliveries only, dang.

    Might want to verify with them the cup comes with. The substitution policy mentions the vase may be a one-of-a-kind that cannot be replicated.

    I would just call the shop up and talk to them. They don't look big enough that you'd be more than a single person away from somebody who can set up a one time thing where they confirm the mug and ship it wherever you want. You should expect to pay a premium but that sounds like it is less of an issue for you on this.

    Yeah, I put a call in with them yesterday but nobody picked up. I'm going to email them and see if I get a response that way. If not, @Ringo, I'll definitely be sending you a PM.

    Next to Final Update:

    I got in touch with the lady who runs the shop, I was able to order the mug, and it will be here on Monday. I will post a picture of the mug when it gets here, and all I can say is good job everybody, and thank y'all very much.
