Due to my crazy busy schedule lately and all the rain we had last week, I never got further than my front yard with the traveling tea cup.
I had plans for our adventures...little chip and all.
I had hoped to get to the Arboretum and the docks where the lake cruisers are moored but alas it was not to be.
Since we finally had sun for a couple of days I got the deck staining finished!
See the nice brown railing in the below picture....
What a job! 2.5 gallons of stain...ugh my aching back!
I did get a couple of little things done to include in our traveling tea cup package.
A crochet dishcloth for handwashing those delicate tea sets and a magnet with a reminder....
Stop by Kimmies today and see what's happening with Tea Tuesday.
I take it the tea cup is going to travel, even though it has that chip in it. Guess that will make it special in the end. I like your dishcloth as part of the "grand" prize. And the magnet says it all!
ReplyDeleteI forgot to mention that I am totally impressed with your deck. Sounds like a HUGE job.
ReplyDeleteHaha! I love how you keep it "real". Life does not usually give us train tickets and steamer trunks... more likely a deck, a can of stain and a paint brush. heehee. And that's why we have teacups to live vicariously through! Bon voyage, Chip. :)
ReplyDeleteAh, the tales the teacup will tell if only in our imaginations! I agree with Nathalie, life gives us decks and stains. :)
ReplyDeleteAaah, can't wait til the teacup reaches me!!! Love the flower pic in your other post. Drop by for tea, if you get a chance......
ReplyDeletewhat a brilliant pedestal for the TTea Cup...guess we're lucky that our TTea cup made it across the ocean and back without incident
ReplyDeleteI feel your back...now you get to rest and enjoy that pretty deck!
Happy T to ya Halle!

Your crochet cloth is a wonderful addition. It's been so long since I made any. You may have inspired me to pull out some cotton yarn and make a few new ones. They last forever! I can't make out what the magnet says...it will be a surprise when I get to see it.
ReplyDeleteI still hate the cup got chipped along the way. :( But stuff happens, doesn't it?
Happy tday.

Oooo a sneak peek of what's in the box! how exciting. Sorry you didn't have better weather to take the cup out in but that is spring for you. A chipped cup! I love imperfection.
ReplyDeleteHappy T on T
Peace~

Great pic of the cup and I'm happy to hear she's on her way :)
