Well....I was just delighted this morning to be invited to go with Shari to the International Tea Party organised by the lovely Risa!! I poured myself a much needed cup of Assam tea {in my beautiful porcelain cup, decorated with Picasso matadors}..and donned my cocktail ring for the occasion!.....I had a lovely time, thank you both ;)
As it is a party...I thought flowers were in order - so I have brought some Freesias, in my own way ;) - a 19th Century Botanical Drawing....and the silver silhouette freesia motif they inspired {due to become a lovely long necklace with some little citrines over the weekend}.....okay, so they don't smell as good as real freesia {one of the best smells ever, right?} but they do last longer!
I was very glad of the lovely hot tea today...as I am suddenly feeling a little under the weather {rain and gale force winds here in case you were wondering}...so am going to be chilling out tonight, and snuggling down in the warm with some delicious sushi, telly and then a good book! - hoping the ginger will do it's stuff by morning :)
Hope everyone is having a good party! - Happy weekend everyone!

hi abigail! i'm glad you could make it! send me your snail mail {muerto_de (at) yahoo (dot) com} and i'll send you some favors (although maybe not right away as i need to make a few more...) thanks for your contribution! here's one more cup of tea to share. :)
What pretty tea cups both you and Shari have... Makes me want to look for some vintage ones for myself.
Feel better, petite!
cheers! (love the ring - is that one of yours?)
What's that beside your teacup! That's not a scone!!
Here in Sweden there will soon be season for something almost as good as a scone - SEMLA.
What beautiful flowers! For some reason I can't picture them in a necklace, but rather as some lovely hair ornament. But I'm sure whatever they turn into will be gorgeous :)
Hello Abigail, it's so nice to meet you. Loving your beautiful silver silhouette freesia motif, It's going to be a gorgeous necklace! Hope you get better soon, wrap up warm. Sushi and a book sounds wonderful.

`Have some wine,' the March Hare said in an encouraging tone.
Alice looked all round the table, but there was nothing on it but tea. `I don't see any wine,' she remarked.
`There isn't any,' said the March Hare.
