Simply had to try!!!!

I decided to add a paper collage.

Stamps added.

This is a picture of a pastel I did for an exercise in shapes and colors. It was of lemons. I decided to add a few pears and a green apple!

Painting by Andrew Wyeth

I added the red roof on the barn and imagined the shutters on the house should be red also.

Sunday postcard!

4th of July

Photo I took and made into a postcard

If you look really closely to your left and down towards the bottom, you can see the moon going down!!!! That is why I took the photo early on a summer morning.

Mad Hatter Tea Party update!

Vintage hat of Annette, my darling mother-in-law!

Perfect garden party hat!!

Now, I am off to go to more Tea Parties.

A fun Sunday!!!

How could I forget a true artist who came by the party with his latest art work!!!

Time for tea!

93 degrees here and this old bear needed some shade.

His name is Paul.

And that's a whole other story!


It was a grand day!!!!!!
I spy "somebody's " friend!
Somebody sneaked in here!
Goldie's friend Amanda was a babysitter for the little ones at story time!
Tea for two
Look who came by!
Martha had time to come by for a minute after shopping!
These guys had fun recalling old hunting days in the wild!!!!

Bears in chairs
The boys in the band!
Conga line!

da-da-da-da-da......DA



I put my irish bears in front of a painting of mine

"County Clare"

so they would feel at home!

Sister Mary Margaret makes bad bart sit in the chair for a "time-out"!
But Sister Cecelia always let the bears help her in the garden!
Memories! My mom's tea set. I used to be able to use this tea set under close supervision and when I was sick, my mom would bring me tea and toast on this china. I actually remember!
These guys decided to come in their boat from the San Francisco Bay(somebody here must have text messaged them while I wasn't looking) and when they reached land, I had "wheely bear" bring them up to the house!
Oh my, there's a party goin on!
Party goers are beginning to gather!!!!
"Buggy" gets a ride!!!!




Mad hatter!!!!

We are just getting started!

The bears are getting dressed (or not) and spiffying themselves up!

Goldilocks will be there too and her friend Amanda, who is not the least bit afraid of bears!

Now If I can just find hoops and yoyo, those rascals are hiding!

Then the tea party can begin!!!!!
Be sure and click the link below and enjoy a magical day!!!!!
