And We Have A Winner....

Thank you to everyone who visited me this past weekend for the Mad Tea Party! I must say it was quite a trip around the blogosphere then back home again. The Tea Party hosted by Vanessa over at Fanciful Twist is definitely going on my calendar as a not to miss event again for next year! Vanessa is an amazing artist with a wonderful imagination and her blog and Etsy shop is a must visit, her postcards are simply incredible!

Now don't get me wrong, it was pretty exhausting trying to get to all the blogs listed, but it was so well worth it. I started Friday and finished sometime Sunday. NOooo, I did not sit in front of my computer all weekend, but it was definitely more than usual. The imagination and creativity put into this event was just unbelievable. If I wasn't laughing, I as ooohing and aahhhing. literally folks, it was that fun! This blog Tea Party took magical, whimsy and imagination to another level! So what was the point? ...Meet new people, find new blogs to read and follow and pick up a few new followers of your own..but most of all to HAVE FUN!!

Okay, so I promised a give away for those who left me a message this weekend, letting me know you had stopped by for tea and cake and I'll keep you waiting no longer. The winner of the Mad Tea Contest is......................................Christy over at Sweet Tidings! I saw so many vintage items this weekend, I decided to make up some vintage looking earrings for the winner! Congratulations Christy! Christy, please email me with your information, so I can get your earrings in the mail! Thanks again for everyone who had tea with me on Saturday and welcome to all my new friends..and Thanks Vanessa for an incredible time!

Unveiling,
