I'm thinking maybe this adorable cup for tea today. Or, perhaps this one?
These stoneware cups, called Baking Days, are both made by Spode and come in sets of four. Either would look wonderful, really, and coordinate with the special decor hanging right now in our kitchen. My friend Patty, who is a crafter extraordinaire, created an amazing 'mum' for my birthday! She is on the Design Team for The Crafty Scrapper and I am the lucky recipient of some of her gorgeous work. Calling all Alice In Wonderland fans! Get ready to drool!
I know, right?! This hand made beauty has an Alice In Wonderland theme and is chock full of teatime goodies - where to look first? There is my initial, a sparkly bunny, teacups, a teapot, wooden letters, ribbons, flowers, glittery hearts, a tiny tin bunny cookie cutter, playing cards and tags. Let's take a closer look.
Be jealous! Just kidding, haha! Check out the detail. Since I am a "January baby," she even added a dusting of snow on the leaves.
Look at what dangles below! I have never seen these decorative 'mums' before, but ya'll in Texas and throughout the south are familiar with them, right? Girls wear these to Homecoming Dances, so Patty shared with me. HERE is an article about it. They are a pretty big deal in Texas. And my birthday mum is a pretty big deal to me. Wow, it's amazing!
We nibble on Cranberry Walnut bread, toasted, and fresh orange slices with cups of Harney and Son's Earl Grey Supreme tea.
Patty made something else for me but I will share that later - keep your eyes peeled for it because it is equally awesome!
Be sure to stop by Patty's blog to see what she has been creating, and tell her I sent you with love!
