Strawberry Sundae

This is my version of a "strawberry pincushion". It is reminiscent of an old-fashioned vanilla ice cream sundae. Made by Me from a tag sale find dessert dish with vintage lace, buttons, pincushion "skewers", and topped off with a yummy beaded strawberry. Visit Heather Bailey's website to see her scrumptious strawberry pincushions.

Easter Greetings


Easter Parade

This is week two of the Gracious Hospital-i-Tea Blog-a-Thon. I like to make people smile by using tea cups in unexpected ways.


A Tisket, A Tasket
An Easter Tea Cup Basket

Or, how about a tea themed song?

Tea For Two

JIMMY:
Picture you upon my knee
Just tea for two
And two for tea
Just me for you
And you for me...alone-

JIMMY:
I'm discontented with homes that I've rented
So I have invented my own.
Darling, this place is lovely oasis
Where life's weary taste is unknown
Far from the crowded city
Where flowers pretty caress the stream
Cozy to hide in, to live side by side in,
Don't let it apart in my dream-

Picture you upon my knee
Just tea for two
And two for tea
Just me for you
And you for me alone

NANETTE:
Nobody near us to see us or hear us Mm, mm, mm,
No friends or relations Mm, mm, mm,
On weekend vacations Mm, mm, mm.
We won't have it known, dear,
That we own a telephone, dear...

NANETTE:
Day will break and I'll wake
And start to bake a sugar cake
For you to take for all the boys to see

BOTH:
We'll raise a family

JIMMY:
A boy for you
And a girl for me

BOTH:
Can't you see how happy we would be...
