mAd TeA pArTy 2013

 

 

It seems someone is having a tea party!

 

 

 

 

Who could it be?  I know!

The Mad Hatter!

 

 

 

I am always in the mood for tea and tarts!

 



But where is everyone?

 

 



 

They sure went through a lot of trouble for a tea party with no guests!

 

 

 



The Mad Hatter always shows up for tea!

Where could he be?

 

 



 

I am so hungry, I must have some tea and cakes!

 

 

 





 

Delicious!

I guess I will wait for the other guests to arrive.

 

 



And wait...

 



 

 

 

A quick cat nap is all I need.

 



Hmm.  No host or party guests!

Not even the Mad Hatter!

And he loves tea parties!

Perhaps I will have better luck next time!

Christmas in July!

I have wonderful memories of being with my grandma and grandpa

and opening presents!

New Items in My Shop!!!

 

 

 

I am in love with these new colors!

Mint and Raspberry!

Sounds yummy, doesn't it?!

I have been busy cleaning house this last week.

Getting rid of stuff, organizing.

Which isn't easy when your husband

can't seem to part with anything!

But I am making progress. 

The kids and I are going swimming everyday this week.

Hopefully the fog won't be too bad here by the bay.

What are your plans for summer?

DIY Herbalism E-Course and Gratitude

I won a very cool contest at This Enchanted Pixie!  A DIY Herbalism E-Course for Summer Remedies and First Aid from Blazing Star Herbal School.  I am so excited!  My 11 year old son has expressed an interest in learning all about the healing powers of herbs, so when I saw this contest, I had to enter!  Not to mention that Polly's blog is always so beautiful and full of inspiration.  Today she has a beautiful printable to start your own gratitude journal.  Check it out here. 
Today I am grateful for my beautiful, healthy family, the blueberry pie I am making today, this awesome herbal e-course, the fog this morning, and time to go for a walk by myself this afternoon. 
What are you grateful for today?

Thank you, Deb, for including my cowl!  

I am in love with that Stoneware bowl!  So unique and beautiful. 

We are expecting rain here by the bay tomorrow.  This morning is grey, but I think I see some sun trying to poke through. 

Happy Spring!
