The “Tea Party Mood” & Artsy things

I was going to re-cap the fun I had yesterday with all of you, but why re-cap when the party can continue!! Yesterday was dreamy and Risa was the most wonderful hostess.  I was totally Tea Party Prepared…Then I realized!  I had to leave during the height of the tea party and missed so much!!! I even missed full enjoyment of my own tea sipping…

So, when I got back to my loftish space last night, I put on my favorite comfy clothes and the only "Tea Shoes" I had with me at the studio….And started  my very own evening tea party, which I intend to carry on throughout the weekend…While I paint and create of course…

As for last night…I had some lovely sips, I even hid in the powder room and sipped…

I was attempting my dainty sipping skills.  Enjoying my dainty tea. Then I remembered…In  my  gallery was that favorite princess tea mug I had made…Oh and we had some liqueur…I  could add it to my Orange Spice tea….It would be perfect.  I was done with the dainty little cup…I meant business now!! I ran outside in the cold to my gallery.  As I grabbed the cup, I decided to grab one of my tea-pot creations to share also…

Now it was time for the fun to begin.  Then the phone rang.  Mr. Lovee…He was still at the office, and would be for 2 more hours.. Woo-Hoo!!!! Crazy alone tea-time.  He already thinks I am nutzz.  I think he thinks we are all a bunch of nut-cakes…Although, I must say, he got a huge kick out of the Jungle Dream Pagoda's New Year's party!!  back to the tea thing….

Oh my goodness….What I discoverd for myself this lovely cold evening….I was  successful…I spent the rest of the  night making tea party stops and enjoying my new found tea creation.  I deserved it after my long long day of clients, accountants, bad drivers on the road and way too many errands.

I woke up this morning with the decision that I would have a weekend of tea and treats and I would work on my teeny tiny painting, which I am loving and wish I had done on a canvas instead of canvas board(she'll be in Etsy one day)…and maybe even whip up a few rows  in this never ending "Longest blanket in the world" that I have been working on crocheting for a year-and-a-half.

  10. Hi Vanessa! It was nice to meet you at the tea party! I love your shoes. I have to visit you again, I see a lot of wonderful things over here 🙂

  11. Anastasia says:

    Love your shoes!! they are gorgeous!
    wish we could have tea parties everyday…adding a splash of cointreau is a great idea!

  12. Sally says:

    Your pink and black tea cup is beautiful – and the teapot creations is very cool too. And that blanket is going to be amazing when finished!

  13. Personally I find that adding liquer
    tends to make everything just a little bit better after a long and stressful day…
    That is what I told myself when I slipped some coffee brandy into my coffee yesterday evening!
    decadent!!
    btw, I had an interpretive dance party this weekend during my crazy time, the bf came home and I was wearing a princess skirt and a feather boa…

    Oh I envy your eyelashes 🙂 Love that you got dressed up for some self-pampering and your house is definitely worthy of a princess!
