I have some new treats to share today, which are available in my shop.
I am so excited about these, they are so pretty in person.
Wish I could hand you a couple through the screen.
Wasn't it about time for some new cards?
All the cards I carry are commercial quality, with a double sided satin finish.
Nice and sturdy, with complimentary envelopes included.
So, we have two new mad tea party cards…
Then we have…
The Star Girl…
In the Theater of Dreams…
And…
The Gypsy Wagon –
I also brought back Avant Garden Wonderland.
I never had too many of these, and had been wanting to offer them in card form again.
So happy to have these available.
I also have a couple new pandants I made.
They are tea related.
Tea Time has the dainty stacked tea sets…
The back is a photograph of an Alice in Wonderland book, taken through a maginifying glass.
The second pendant I made is of…
Tea and Milk
The back is a piece of an old book page about tea…
And in my favorite way to display them…
On silk ribbons…
All these new little treats are available in my online shop.
Hoooray!
It's so fun to finally get to a place where things can be shared.
The process of making and photographing and listing is crazy 🙂
But finally, fresh treats, yay!
Love, V
ps: How are you all? I have been washing floors and tidying up things.
As well as playing in the cottage.
I also have been working on some clay pieces.
And, mixing paint to finally complete several pieces I have been working on for months, even years in some cases.
How is summer going for you?
I hope it rains today.
Nature's help with garden chores would soooo hit the spot.
Vanessa:
You have been a very busy girl. So many lovely treats to choose from. You never cease to amaze me. Painting, sculpting, soldering, photographing, gardening, cooking…pheewwww….makes my head spin just to think about it! You are talented in so many ways!
I’m so glad we have this electronic world to share our wares and share our lives. How would we have ever known of each other had it not been for this amazing electric box?

I cannot believe how gorgeous everything here is, especially the dainty tea cup stack necklace, whoa. 🖤.🖤
Just playing catch up….we were on a 5 week Summer trip and recently returned. It was terrible missing the Mad Tea Party this year!
I love your new offerings!
Always a busy, busy bee you are, Miss V 🙂
Oh Miss Vanessa,
The newest items in your shop are wonderful.. I love them all.
Now that my working has lessened down to two days a week. I can play now. I have to decide what to do first. Yes, we need the rain here too, and hopefully that will be today. My flowers have seen better days as they need many more drinks of water.
Have a amazing week end.
Such lovelies in your shoppe!!!
Beautiful as always🖤

My immediate favorite was the gypsy wagon. Imagine all the places we could travel!
We had a stifling hot week but now the rains have arrived. It seems they choose a day and come down in buckets! So far the mosquitoes are not bad, but summer is not over!
(And for that we give thanks.)
Lovely. I know your cards are a wonderful quality. Love the pendants.
Since we got back from taking grand #1 to the beach we have been super busy freezing corn and canning green beans. I made cucumber relish and corn relish, too. I canned more beans this morning. We’ve had a rainy summer so everything has grown like crazy. We had our first tomatoes from the garden today. I love them, you can taste the acid in them.
I met my daughter and the 2 grands at the mall yesterday and Liv had to come home with me 🙂 I love the fact that she loves to come to her Nannie and PaPaws. Piper the baby makes me laugh with her adorable smile and the way she people watches. It is funny. She loves to just sit and watch people go by.
So what I’ve been doing is just the normal day to day things that make me happy. I am also trying to organize me craft room and clean out things in the rest of the house.
Just read a book I can’t stop thinking about The Handmaiden’s Tale by Margaret Atwell. How could this book be out since 1985 and I’ve just discovered it?
Ah these pendants! I will get my mitts on them one of these days. I think it would be the loveliest reminder of magic and whimsy hanging around your neck!
I agree with Kim!!!
And I love that tower of tea cups.
I agree..Thanks so much for sharing all your incredible talents.
They ALL look so great, Vanessa! 🙂 Perfect choices for the postcards and those lovely pendants!
I love, love looking at Avant Garden Wonderland every night before I go to sleep 🙂 🙂 and dream a little about what she does.
Unusually warm and lovely summer here this year – and on Monday I’m going to Rome, so if you want to go there too, sort of, you can pop by my blog.
