Angels, Tea And Cookies

Today was truly "blustery." We had thought we would journey to some of our favorite antique haunts, but decided to stay warm and cozy instead. This is a day when you want the tea kettle on softly hissing to be ready to warm up your tea!


Chilly, windy and cloudy with the look of more rain, this is not a day to winterize a garden or two, either, so I finished painting this Angel Candle Holder ....


I have resisted painting on resin....why...I have no idea. Maybe a little timid about a new surface. I am so used to wood and fabric. I found this ready to paint on surface, a joy and will be looking for others to paint up....Now I am wondering why it took me so long....
If you would like you can see more of this tall angel at my website The Ruffled Rose where Marian Elizabeth and I have been working away adding new items....

So, with cozy hugs, I wish you a splendid week!

~SOME PINKS FOR SATURDAY~


Pink Lips made by my visiting from Texas, granddaughter when we were making clay roses....when she is gone they will sit by my sewing machine and everytime I look at them, I will think of her....
Before I continue...please visit Beverly for this weeks list of sweet pinkies to visit...you will find lots of glorious blogs to enjoy! And, thank you Beverly, for making all this happen for us!!!
And now, back to bits of PINK...
The magnifying glass with the little pink rose is from my youngest daughter from several years ago...I don't think a day goes by that I don't use it...

Little bits of pink in my sewing room....the wishes are from my oldest granddaughter...so sweet!


These silk hankies are a soft whisper pink and I enjoy looking at them very much!

A Faux Pink and White Cupcake and a useful jar with a pretty handpainted rose....



A Marvelous Vintage Mug for your morning tea or coffee

Freshly made clay roses....Miss J. and I have had such fun making them....I love the ones that have her fingerprints!


Yummy! Freshly baked banana bread on a pink and white roses plate...

Some of my storage boxes in my sewing room....I like pretty and differnt containers...they inspire...

Love having you visit and love the comments...they inspire me, too!
Sweet Saturday Hugs,
