When Life Gives You Tea Cups....

When life gives you tea cups...

Make tea.

To say that we've been busy is an understatement for sure!  

With getting Christmas down at the store {and our homes}

and getting things ready for the 2015 season...

we were happy to take a little time

strolling The Maumee Antique Mall

last night after we worked on displaying our booth there....

We found these pretty flow blue tea cups 

so, tonight we decided to make some tea and sit back and relax...

Hope your New Year is going well so far!

Our "resolution" is to spend a little bit more time on the blog :)

Cheers!

joining Paula & Patti tonight for What's it Wednesday...

Transferware Tea Towel

 Now...just how cute is this?

You can make it yourself....really!!!

 

 First we took some of our favorite flow blue plates

and scanned them onto the computer

Then we printed the plate pictures out onto iron-on transfer paper....

We placed them on cotton tea towel

to where we thought they all would look good 

and then flipped them over and started ironing.....

Once the transfer paper and image stick you can peel 

off the backing and move onto the next plate....

What a pretty little towel to hang in your kitchen!

P.S. you can take those blue plates 

and change the color to black and white if you'd like too!

Peculiar Flow Blue Florals

A trip to the antique store the other day & I

 brought home this pretty flow blue floral bowl with mums on it....

As I admired it, I noticed something peculiar....

Well, maybe it isn't that peculiar....

But it is starting to look like a collection....

Do you think it was intentional?

Heaven's no.....

It just happened

honestly!!

Do you have any collections you came by honestly?
