Tea Cup Tuesday "Orange Color Inspiration"

This set is Gold Castle made in Japan its a demitasse set. I don't know too much about it only I have a few pieces from my mom which may have been my grandma's at one time. The color orange always makes me smile this time of year~

I love it despite the gold is rubbed off a little bit~




The pomegranates are starting to grow in the yard for fall they are such a spectacular orange color when they are in bloom. Then they loose their blossoms and the fruit begins to grow

Here is Sammie with one of her most colorful shirts in an deep orange with a lovely flower pattern and gold shimmers sewn on. I love taking portraits of her often as kids change so much~

Here is my Autumn Faerie I created a while back. She is ready to come visit today with her deep orange red hair and orange flower tattoo on her face~

Well I am off to create a little tutorial to post later this week. It is a little Halloween Vintage Hanging Ornament! Oh, and yes it has orange in it!

Oh hello Tea Tuesday & friends~ I found a teacup pin cushion in leopard and if you read my previous post you may know why I love this today. In a word leopard. Then another crafty inspiration was this cute sewing catch all, for all the things we use usually need for a project! I didn't find a pattern yet but if I do I will share it with you. And who wouldn't love to give a gift to a tea lover with a gift tag like this? I so want to make some! My post will be short today as I have been suffering with migraines & if you ever have had them you know they can be a huge detour in your day. So you will find me back in bed and sipping on tea until my next post~

What crafty things have you been doing lately? Do you ever get migraines? I hope not!
You can find my tea cup pin cushion post here with a link to a tutorial (Post with examples) or if you rather just straight to the tutorial~

Hello friends and all Tea cup Tuesday blog hoppers. I wanted to share with you one of my favorite coffee shops in Santa Rosa and Healdsburg area. It is the Flying Goat. I love the atmosphere and of course the products. Their lovely lattes handcrafted with designs, chai teas and teas. Their pastry case is quite yummy too~ As you read my post I will be on the road to my daughters to help her out with my little granddaughter Audrey, then to visit my daughter Jenni and take Sammie on some last minute summer fun and back to school shopping~You know I will be starting my day with something brewed or steeped from my favorite shop.

Tea Cup Tuesday

Oh hello friends, Here are some roses fighting for space waiting for their time to bloom and on my window sill this is where I keep a few of my mom's keepsakes so I can see them every day. This happens to be a teapot that was handmade by a local Lake Tahoe artist. The artist and my mom took a pottery class together. My mom was just a beginner but they became friends prior to her passing and she had given her this hand painted tea pot~ Now I have this to remind me of her. It also reminds me that with honing in on our crafts one day we each shall bloom when the time is right~ So keep creating, keep inspiring with time and patience we can make beautiful things just like this artist did. Never give up on your dreams~

Couldn't you just see making a whole bunch of pretty pin cushions and lining them up on a shelf or hutch for display with your sewing or crafts? I found the cutest little pin cushion tea cups this week and at this site is a tutorial that has step by step instructions to making one. You could make so many different looks, just seeing a few examples has me inspired to make one. It looks simple, fast and easy! I think this project is going on my list in the coming weeks and I'll show you the results when I am done! Now off to find the perfect tea cup to match my crafty sewing room~ What crafty projects have you done with tea cups? Do you think this is something that you would make? Well, I will have a cup of tea and enjoy all your tea cups while dreaming up my fabric and cup combination's~

Tea Cup Tuesday

I hope this finds you well after a long weekend! I just had to share this selection that my daughter Krissy picked out for her bridal registry~ I love it. This is designed by Ralph Lauren and called Mandarin Blue. This tea set is a complement to the China set. They even have vases. How could I not start her out with this set as a bridal gift? Shh, can you keep a secret? I thought it would be fitting if this was one of the gifts I purchased on her list and gave to her. Her grandma had collected cups and tea pots and we split up her collection throughout the family. I love that it has the Asian flair with flowers in the bottom of each cup! Quite a few places carry the design such as Macy's. I hope we can have quite a few games of scrabble over tea when I get to travel to her home and visit to carry on the love of tea and games gifted to us by my mom~

I am really feeling late! I don't have enough time lately~ Do you ever feel that way? Or am I just not making the best of my time? Maybe a little of both. Sometimes I get in these moods where I have a hard time with my creativity maybe it is a little mind cloud in the way. Do you ever feel like your life is like a story in a book? It can either be interesting, tumultuous, boring, fleeting, melancholy, joyful....... I could go on. While I am rewriting my day and life I have poured you a little cup of tea. I hope you don't mind the lemon in it!

Personalized tea sachets and tin

When it comes to bridal showers and weddings there is no shortage of inspiration these days~
What is really wonderful is if you are a tea lover there is a growing number of lovely bridal shower gifts, ideas for teas and ways you can incorporate the idea into your themed wedding! I love the idea of parasols and am sure you'll be seeing more details on that later from me. I was swooning over the tea length dress having a bit of romance yet modern styling to it~ Do you thing I could convince my oldest daughter to try one on? I can envision having a bridal tea all set up with cupcakes in the tea cups like this with lovely roses in the centerpiece in another tea cup. Oh, and platefuls of tea decorated cookies to have with tea too. In the evening I could see a little family gathering with a simple table setting with flowers in tea containers. Can you hear us toasting and laughing and asking how they first met? When it comes to shower gifts you can find things in just about any theme. But my two favorites this week had to be the heart infuser and personalized tins with tea sachets in them. *just click on the picture links to see where to purchase. I think I will be having a cup of tea now to relax and reflect on what I have found~ How many weddings are you going to or are in this summer? Do you know anyone who has had a bridal tea or tea themed wedding? I would love to know~

Tea cup Tuesday friends I feel like I am on the beginning of a carousel ride and it is spinning round and round. Jump on and join me for my new journey. One of when time meets past and present. Proms are in the past, roses, romance and weddings in the present. I have to stop for some tea and calming colors of pink and aqua. I must savor the moments with you on Tea Tuesday's as my life is about to take a spin with two of my daughters engaged to be married! One this July and one next spring or fall she is in the mists of planning. I am finishing details of bridal shower arrangements, choosing mother of the bride dress's is about to begin and more~ I hope I can spark your interest in returning for some wedding themed posts both fashionable and crafty with loves that I am finding on this carousel ride that I am taking~

Ah me! love can not be cured by herbs. ~Ovid
