Tea Time ...

Happy Thursday Dear Friends!

Today I have a card to share which was created as a DT Call entry

over on The Shabby Tea Room.

I actually just started designing 'tea related' cards for a local 'Tea Room' and thought it

might be fun to try out for a spot on this fabulous blog & team.

Wish me luck!

Did you know I have a tea pot collection?

Yep and over the years I've received many as gifts

and it's so much fun to look at this one or that and remember who

it came from and when.  Each and everyone holds wonderful memories for me!

I actually have one (see below) very similar to the teapot in today's card.  

And, it was one of the very first in my collection.

These are three different Royal Albert 'Old Country Rose' 

tea pots from my collection.

You will find at least one teapot in every room of my house

and of course the most are in the kitchen (above the cabinets) 

and in the dining room on the bakers rack.

I display them all year round until the holidays come around then I put them away and unpack my Santa collection (which also has some 'Santa tea pots') within the collection.

Sharing in the following challenges:
Card and Scrap Challenge - Use Dies
Country View Challenge - Shabby Chic
Crafts Galore Encore Challenge - Anything Goes
CCC Digi Creations Challenge - Layer It Up

Okay that's it for me today!  I could go on and on (as those who know me will attest to ... lol).

Thanks so much for stopping by ... have a fabulous day!

As always ...
