(UPDATE: This kit is now avaiable at Daisie for $6.48. Just click on this link to go to the store. )I received my first tea pot and tea cups as a gift from my dear "Nanny." She introduced me to the delights of tea and the sparkling beauty of her china tea cup collection.
When I was just 10 years old, she took us to the Princess Hotel in Victoria British Colombia. I remember how the polished silver sparkled in the candle light. ladies were elegantly dressed and I carefully watched everything that my grandmother did to make sure I did it too. It was so fun to hold my pinky finger, just so!
My newest clip art set "Victorian Rose Christmas 1" has lots of tea inspired art, swagged borders, pine boughs and elegant coordinated papers. There are delightful tea cup charms and an elegantly jeweled "ornament hanger" that can be used to "hang" a frame, charm or tea cup ornament on a scrapbook page, Christmas card or craft.
I hope that you’ll enjoy working with the Victorian wallpaper inspired background papers on your crafts or projects. There are four of them included in this kit.
I can’t believe how close Christmas is getting!!! I received some product samples from one of my favorite manufacturers today, Brownlow Gifts. http://www.brownlowgift.com/catalog/product_detail.php/pid=1406~subid=59/index.html
Tomorrow I’ll tell you about the goodies I created with and for them. I’m so excited about how I plan to use these for Christmas gifts for those I love. There’s something really special about a gift that has been made by hand inspired by the love we hold in our hearts.
I hope you’ll make many of your Christmas gifts this year and bless those you love in a very special way!
Love it, very much a ladies type of kit. Beautiful. TFS
Oh so pretty. Love the story about your grandmother. I even resisted temptation to look at the pictures to read first. So glad I did.
This set is beautiful!
Simply Gorgeous! I can’t wait to see what you have created with Brownlow!
Lovely set. Can’t wait to use it for Christmas.
I loved your story about enjoying tea. My first experience with having tea was also at the Victoria Hotel in Vancouver. What a memoriable experience it was. Since then I love collecting cookbooks on Tea recipes and collecting graphic sets with Teapots and teacups. I have both of Gina Janes Tea Graphic sets (the summer and Christmas ones) and most of your sets (Perfectly Peachy and Tea Time)
What I love about having tea is that it is something you can enjoy alone at home or share with others. It’s a wonderful way to get together a friend to chat. It can be casual or formal, simple or extravagent. Perhaps the most wonderful thing about having tea is that my husband also enjoys it so it is something we can share together.
Now my biggest challenge to to modify the traditional sandwiches to make them as low calorie as possible to retain the same taste while substituting for the high calorie cream cheese and mayonaise so I can enjoy it more often.
