Tea on Tuesday

Beware the Ides of March, because it is today!!! Not a good day for Julius Caesar, but hopefully a better one for you!!!

As I am posting, I have not yet had my tea- sooooooo, I will have my imaginary mint tea in this imaginary teacup!!


A dream of a teacup, with a dream of a price tag!!!




Speaking of mint tea, my mint is starting to poke thru the hard ground.






My daffodils are getting ready to bloom. This bunch will need to be thinned next year - it is a bunch that just popped up in the middle of the field behind the house. Part of the old fashioned daffodils that surrounded the old farmhouse, we are almost finished relocating all of them to around our own house. I just like seeing this bunch pop up out of nowhere - a signal that spring is almost here!

If you have have been to Kimmie's blog for a list of other tea partiers, you may have seen the beautiful little banner she made recently. Well, I am happy to say, that happy little banner now resides with me!!

If you haven't checked out Kimmie's Etsy shop, you really should - who wouldn't want to have of piece of Kimmie's talent !
The banner was so prettily packaged in fabric and wired paper ribbon - (I had started to open it, when I remembered I NEEDED to take a picture, so the twine bow is undone!)




Above is the wired ribbon, also two of Kimmie's little business cards (moo cards?)picturing some of her art.

The banner is made of stiffened tea bags (appropriate for today!) with her own carved ink stamp designs, layered on vintage dictionary pages. 











Temporary place of honor over a doorway, out of the sunlight, so it won't fade! Once we paint the walls (!) the banner will have a permanent spot.
Thank you Kimmie!!!




Please feel free to join us for tea (real or imagined) every Tuesday! Drop by Kimmie's   or Patty's blog for a list of other tea drinkers!!

  11. What a pretty cup and saucer but ouch at the price tag that goes with it! Your daffodils look wonderful, they really are best suited to clumps that just appear and they always make me feel better, as though winter is finally over.

  12. I love that your imaginary tea cup is an expensive treasure. If imagining, do it big!
    Happy Wednesday!

  13. What a gorgeous cup. It reinforces my belief that these lovely cups and saucers should be viewed from afar, rather than up close and personal. I would be a bull in a china closet with that gorgeous set.

    You have some beautiful daffodils growing. By this time next week, I bet you will have some sitting in a vase or two. Mine have not even poked through the ground, yet.

    And I was so impressed with the banner that Kimmie made. You did a great job of showing it off, too. Sorry I'm a day late. I have been in a real cough syrup fog for several days, now.

  14. I have a different feeling about the Ides of March...I had my open heart surgery on the 15TH of march and I am still cooking things on the back burner. Wonderful gifts you sent Jeanne and another wonderful post. Happy St. Patrick's Day! My daffodils are coming up also and I keep watching for the first bloom of Spring. Peace, Mary Helen
