Vintage Tea Cup Swap

I participated in a Vintage Tea Cup Swap on the Vintage Indie site http://vintageindie.typepad.com/vintage_indie/ . My partner was Mary , this is her blog http://www.catmccall.blogspot.com/ . She is a fabulous knitter, her shop on Etsy http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=22700 has beautiful yarn that she actually spins , how wonderful is that !! Makes me want to get back into knitting and crochet again looking at beautiful yarn. My mother taught me how to knit when I was young and I later took up crochet , but put it aside to do other crafts !My package had the most beautiful soft pastel tea cup & saucer , along with a dainty all white embroidered handkerchief ( gotta wipe the drips!) and a some darjeeling & Marionberry tea along with a box of chocolate covered Hazelnuts ..Mmmmm !! Was my first swap that I have ever done and was a lot of fun !! It is fun to get a surprise package full of wonderful things and was a lot of fun gathering up all the goodies to mail ! Thank you so much Mary !!

Birthday !!

Was my birthday yesterday !!!! My children planned a surprise party !! My daughter came up with a plan that totally was a surprise on me... so when I came back to my house and walked in , everyone was there with a big surprise !!! So we ate food & partied !!! Photo is of gift my daughter gave me, tea suplies !!!! Just fun and wonderful !!! I love how the tea leaf comes out of the top of the tea pot as it is brewing !!!! Will have to take time this afternoon to relax with a cup of tea !!!

Cup Cakes

Cup cakes anyone ?? I made these little cupcakes out of fabric , painted , stained , and dusted them with german glass glitter and topped with a pearl. I will be adding these to my Etsy site soon. They would be cute on a table setting with your china treasures or grouped together with other little ornaments.

Gift

Just had to post a picture of this gift a friend gave to me! The tea is packaged so sweet ! The little leaf is tiny but the right touch !!

The pink dish in the background was also a gift.. my favorite color ..PINK !!
