{Tea Cup Tuesday!}

I don't know about all of you out there

but I am getting Spring Fever pretty good!

Typically on Tea Cup Tuesday,

I would share with you a

pretty little table setting with a

beautiful tea cup, but today

I wanted to share with you

a new way to use those

old chipped tea cups that you

just can't bring yourself to throw away...

{don't worry, we all have a few :)}

aren't these just fabulous for the garden

{or the outside of the patio of the Tea Room!}

I do love to craft & make DIY projects

from re-usable items - don't you?

What sort of projects have you done?

{Tea Time!}

It's Tea Time again at

Cheesecake Therapy in

 your table is waiting!

 

 



{Do you know Etsy?}

 

I know Etsy VERY well! 

If you hadn't figured out by now,

I get REALLY excited when the

word "craft" comes up and

Etsy is the place for all things

crafty and unique. 

A very "lovely" site that you have to experience! 

Since I stay at home with Olivia {3 years old}
 & Chance {9 months}
I decided that I just had to find a way to
express my creativity
{and maybe bring a little income in!}. 
When I went to school at
Oklahoma State - GO POKES!!!
my Major was Graphic Design.
 I have always enjoyed designing &
 am so thankful that I have found a way
 to still use the talent God gave me &
do something I enjoy {designing parties!}
all at the same time. 

Step in - Etsy!  Etsy is an online
store for all things handmade. 
I mean you can find almost
anything on here.  I love to shop from Etsy
so much that I decided I would
give a shop of my own a try!

I'd love for you to visit!

 

Here's my newest collection!

Chevron & Polka Dot

"Sweet Baby" Shower 

Printable Chevron Baby Shower Invitation

also available in

*colors are customizable - pick your own!

Food Tags

wouldn't this make a beautiful
"Sweet Baby" baby shower!

 

This design was created for

Baby Joule that is due this Spring! 

Her nursery is going to be coral & grey -

I thought that was a very modern
 & fun color combo.

Please keep me in mind for your
next event or life milestone!

I can design you a beautiful
birth announcment, save the date card,
 pregnancy announcment,
Birthday Party Invitation
{with or without a photo}
& so so much more! 

 

{Published!!!}

Let's just say that I all but ran around
 the block yelling when I saw
our Spring Tea Event at
Cheesecake Therapy printed on
the Events page for the
 March/April issue of the
beautiful Tea Time Magazine!

Tea Time will print local events in the publication when submitted so I figured - why not?  Well, that was one of the best decisions I had ever made.  We filled up our March Tea at CT within one day & opened a 2nd seating that filled up the following day.  We had so many responses to a local tea in Olde Town Arvada that we are almost 100% booked for our April tea!  Such an exciting time for us!

Thank you for all of your support! 
My dream is starting to really feel like a reality -
 now to try & find a store front in the right spot!

Every Olde Town needs a tea room & So Lovely is the one {I really really really hope!}

Happy Birthday to Nana! & {Tea Cup Tuesday}

the wonderful little lady that

made Afternoon Tea
something I enjoy so much!



 

this was one of our final pictures of Nana - Decemeber 2010

 

 {Tea Cup Tuesday}

Because I am trying to be really good about posting on the blog & because I love to share pretty tea cups with all of you out there I am continuing on with {Tea Cup Tuesday!}

 

Aren't these just Lovely ;) 

they are from Martha, of course - she had them in a

beautiful post about a wedding using green - very springy!

 

Here are a few pictures from our Spring Tea,

our new banner that I made for Spring! 

It says "tea party"

 & just had to open up a second time for reservations! 

Not a bad problem to have ;)

We are so happy to say that we have been incredibly busy - Having Tea!

 

Over the next few weeks I will be catching you up {with pictures of course!} on our teas. 

 

We have been hosting a monthly tea at Cheesecake Therapy here in our hometown of Arvada.

 

 

Cheesecake Therapy is a wonderful little bakery in

 Olde Town Arvada owned by Heather - you have to be sure to visit soon
