I've been at the tea and coffee again - purely for crafting purposes, you understand - so do hop over to see some of the results at Artistic Stamper. Have a lovely Sunday!
Tea is quiet, and our thirst for tea is never far from our craving for beauty.

And another line from the same poem as yesterday's orchard thoughts...
I intend to learn how to make coffee, at least as well

You can read the whole thing here - it's wonderful!
Stunning cards very CAS in design yet so vintage in colour, love them!
ReplyDeleteWould have used the smaller tag to add a name/address to the envelope but like your idea very much.
Fab inspiration TY:-) xxx
Off to check them out...sorry haven't been by in a while. Life is too busy with the gardens and the lake...and rushing back and forth between the house and there.
ReplyDeleteIn between I am lazing by the pool having a cold drink!
Love the quote and popped over and read the whole thing. Your blog with your wonderful quotes always reminds me of when I was younger. I used to love to hand pick quotes for each person at the holiday supper table. Such fun matching the perfect quote to each person!
Beautiful and simplicity with a fabulous result. Love the whole neutral feel of this set.
