Tuesday Muse

Tea is my muse today --

This lovely teacup from Bentley Tea.

One of Nancy's scripted textures and an added quote.

Wishing YOU well and much joy!

Bentley Tea

I found this lovely teacup on a recent visit to Ross.

It was made by Bentley Tea and came with an assortment of their teas -
Bed Time Herbal, English Breakfast, Lemon Ginger Herbal, Super Fruit Green
and Pomegranate Green.

I love the aqua color of the flowers.

The cup has a refreshing, summer look.

A little green tea and lemon served with a lemon-blueberry scone from 

Artisana Bread purchased at the Farmers Market.

A tasty treat!

Thank you to our tea party hosts:

This and That

It's Friday.

Time for a look back at the week with a few

Random Things.

Thanks, Nancy!

Let's get this over quickly.

It's HOT and HUMID and I don't want to talk about the electric bill.

Last year I was so excited about the butterflies that were visiting Musashi's Garden.

I haven't seen many this year.

Perhaps it was the change in weather -- first cool and then HOT??

This is the only shot I've been able to get of a butterfly stopping by to visit.

This swallowtail was in the midst of fluttering wings as he took a quick taste of the duranta.

I'm using Bloglovin now to read all of your blogs.

So far so good, but it sure seems easy to get behind.

I promise I'll catch up!

Last Saturday I made it to the Urban Harvest Farmer's Market.

What fun!

You can have breakfast there -- lots of good food available -- drinks.

Entertainment

I wanted fresh, home grown tomatoes.

There is just nothing like the taste of a home grown tomato.

Yum Yum Yum

Got my tomatoes and stopped by the Blue Heron Farm booth

and picked up their special of the day:

Garlic-Peppercorn Chevre.

Oh, my - Sinfully delicious!

Can't wait to hear what the special will be for tomorrow.

Splurged on an orchid.

Last, a bar of luxury shea butter soap from The Herbal Goat --

HOT FLASH (!!!) Lavender and Peppermint.

Boy, do I smell good!

On my list for this Saturday: peaches and blueberries. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Wishing YOU well and much joy.

Good Morning!

Don't Grow Up

It's A Trap

Meow!

Stencil, rubber stamp, book page, watercolor, micron pen.

WOOF!

I thought it wasn't fair to do a cat ICAD and not do a dog!

So here's WOOF, book page, water color, stencil, rubber stamp.

This is a sketch for a larger work I'm thinking of doing.

I wanted an old, old-fashioned nature scrapbook look and came close.

Rubber stamp, napkin, bits and bobs, tea bags, distress ink.

Time for a little Fun Among Friends!

Hoot!

Watercolor, micron pen, rubber stamp.

Order of the Day

I thought I had this one finished when I found the words

Order of the Day -- perfect color.

Synchronicity!

Book page, stencil (love those wheels), magazine image and words.

The Order of the Day is to enjoy every minute.

Thanks for dropping by.

Wishing YOU well and much joy.
