Tea on Tuesday and Stacks

Today's tea photos were prompted by a project that Seth from The Altered Page will be featuring tomorrow on his blog.
Over 70 artists and artsy folks will be showing stacks of ephemera, paper, journals, and the like. Seth always thinks of these fun things to do!!

Who among us, does NOT have a stack of SOMETHING???
                  I DARE you to raise your hand!!! LOL


I have many stacks - so, I included a few- the last photo being the one to be included in Seth's post.
But, first- the tea: sideways, again, for reasons only blogger knows (altho hubby thinks he's got it figured, using photoshop- but I am tired, and don't want to mess with it right now- soooooooooo)

My oolong tea and mug are sitting on my 2nd mug rug from an Art4Mail online swap. The quilter did a fabulous job with fall colors.

Mine are almost done - but today was taken up by purging the basement and  making grape jam (the reason I am too tired to fool with photoshop and why this post is late today!)

                                                                             


                                                                        STACKS

 


Tea on Tuesday - teacups, of course!



                             Books that are yearning for their own book shelf- or a new home elsewhere
                                                        (see a title you like? Let me know!!!)
 


                                                    Stuff on the couch I am reading my way thru'

 

Guest bath

 



Spell check? Nah -stacks of ancient dictionaries 
(usually neatly shelved- just posing for the "stacks" photo shoot) 


                                  Journals, book covers, vintage pages, ephemera awaiting new life....



Please drop by every Tuesday for tea - see Kimmie and Patty for a list of other tea lovers.
Don't forget to visit Seth tomorrow to see many more stacks!! I know Patty and I are playing along, and maybe Kimmie too!!!

    Did you know that in the office place you can tell artsy employees from the non artsy ones by their filing systems? Non arsty folks use file cabinets... the artsy ones have "file piles"! Love your stacks!

    Oooh - a stack of towels? What a novel idea. I love to see clean laundry stacked up and ready to be put away. Makes me feel I've accomplished something. (For a minute or two, anyway.)

    Put that in your Pipe and Stack that! So creative to bring awareness to our stacks everywhere in our surroundings...they are everywhere aren't they? I love that face in the teacup too and you make me feel much more 'normal' ! Thanks for your 'take' on this subject!
