Hello, cafe friends! I'm back from a week long trip to Michigan, where we visited with family and friends. It's always nice to spend some quality time with Grandma!
Sam attended his first tea party in Grandma's gazebo. He wasn't too sure that a) boys should attend tea parties, and b) that he'd even like tea. But Grandma changed his mind on both counts.
I made a card today to celebrate tea parties! And notice, there's not one speck of pink on this card! Blue and green, with just a little yellow. That qualifies as a masculine card, right?
{Today's Brew: Cosmo Cricket Tea for Two papers and chipboard (Memory Works), PTI sentiment and card stock, doily die from MFT, gingham ribbon from SU, Distress Ink in Old Paper}
Do you see the yellow rose in this photo? It started out as a large stem of several roses. But that's the fun of chip board...you can cut it apart! I now have some more lovely roses for another card creation in the future.
Thanks for visiting the cafe today, where we are now serving a delicious orange pekoe tea...china cups optional!
No! As mom always says...tea always tastes better when served in china. Just ask Sam. Love and miss you guys already :(
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Maryrose and adorable grandma/son moment!!!. He is so cute with that china teacup in his hands!!!
ReplyDeleteI agree tea always is better in my china even if I"m the only one drinking it . Maryrose where were you in Mi.? Im in Mi.
ReplyDeletelove your card and your little guy seemed to like it,
What a sweetie - my kids always wanted to use the china (even for things like Sprite or their OJ, lol!) We are both channeling Tea time on our blogs :)
ReplyDeleteOh what a great memory your son will have!! Your card captures the tea party feel- blue must mean it's a boy-card. LOL!
ReplyDeleteOff topic a bit... but MaryRose, that little drip catcher on grandma's teapot. Do you know what that is called??? I was at a tea a few months ago and someone had a cyte little cloth one. The question was posed, what is that called... and no one could think of it!!! I thought maybe you might know!
ReplyDeleteAwwww,I'm sure his tea party with Grandma will be a lasting, precious memory. Beautiful card, MaryRose.
ReplyDeleteLovely card and even lovelier memory!
