| see the sprouting bulbs under the handle? |
Our Spring bulbs seem eager to bloom and have already pushed their bright green leaves through the soil in several places. I planted Pansies as a companion flower, in anticipation of the Narcissus, to compliment the other's color. I also planted Pansies in one of the Fairy Gardens.
When I finished gardening, I sat outside for a cup of tea and browsed through some scrapbook catalogs I got when I attended the Craft & Hobby Association event earlier this month. So many neat products coming out soon!
And while I sipped and browsed, I also nibbled!
My dearest friend sent the charming pink Keep Calm Birthday Girl mug to me for my recent birthday, along with home-made tea cookies!
She spoils me something awful, doesn't she? I like the deep pink of the cup and the elegant crown above the sentiment.

After looking through the catalogs and reading a chapter of The Dark Tide
on my nook, I filled the bird baths and watered the pots on the patio.
Well, I could linger outside with the Pansies half the day but there is laundry and dishes to do and photographs to take of my newest projects - which I can't wait to show you!

The cookies are darling; what a thoughtful gift from your friend. Thank you for stopping by for Tea Time and enjoy your day.

Loved the cookies and loved the fairyland setting, so much fun when the weather is good, just so creative, love it..
ReplyDeleteLove that mug! I have never seen one like that before. Hope your birthday was great! Have a wonderful week. Hugs, Martha
ReplyDeleteThat is a sweet tiered fairy garden! It is really special the way you have created it. I love the tiny little green plants and there is even a beehive!
ReplyDeleteSweet cup as well, from a kind friend. The tea cookies look delicious and they are darn cute!
Hugs,
Terri
I'm glad you had a lovely birthday. That's a lovely mug from your friend. I have one which I treasure from the place in Northumberland, England where the original poster was found in an attic. The cookies look good. Nice to be able to sit out and enjoy your pretty pansies and fairy garden.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely post this is. A very enjoyable read! I would love to get to CHA - it's so far away for me, but the catalogues? What wonderful bedtime reading that would be. It would keep me happy all year I think

Lovely post, Shawn! You have created such a charming fairy garden! So happy that you're enjoying a few minutes to take in some fresh air and catch a healthy amount of rays. Hope you enjoy your birthday for an entire year!!!
ReplyDeleteOh I just adore this post! First off, your friend is so thoughtful- your mug is AWESOME! Love your tea cookies - funny I have a cutter like that but I am not very good at fine detailed sugar cookies decorating usually so have been a bit hesitant to use - but I love the simple way you designed it! I need to try that!
ReplyDeleteBEST thing of all is your early spring life. As I sit under lots and lots of snow- sure is a blessing to be reminded that yes, spring will come. Wonder if the ground hog saw his shadow yesterday?
If you visit my blog a few posts back I have a video of our incredible snowstorm, it's a must see if you are already having spring. : - )
Have a wonderful and blessed weekend.
Love the pink mug. The little tea cookies are precious. We are so far from spring here it seems even though I waking up and never know what the weather will be like where I live. Yesterday 70"s tomorrow high 30's . Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteoh I love the pretty pink mug. Your flowers are just lovely.
ReplyDeleteOh to be lingering outside with Pansies. Only in my imagination. It's been snowing all day here. I won't complain because we need it for our summer gardens. I usually plant Pansies in a front bed every Fall and they are gorgeous for Spring. Didn't get them in this year. Guess I'll try something different. Happy belated birthday! Love the pretty mug. Thanks for sharing with SYC.
