A funny title for today's post ...
I think I've been watching too much PBS Masterpiece ("Downton Abbey")
Do you ever feel relegated to certain tasks just because you are female?
Silly question.
Of course you do.
Do you attempt to elevate those tasks to an art form?
Or as Jean has said: to a blessing
She said she cleans her kitchen in the morning and thinks of it as
blessing her kitchen
I would surely go mad without blessings and the artful life.

... and then I found these on my camera as I uploaded today's tea pictures.
The girls were playing dress up yesterday and I let them use my camera.
I'm so glad I did!

Oh I love your post Kimmie, and isn't it way better to be a woman with our arts, than a man? Even if we have to clean the kitchen? Happy tea to you, hugs, Christen
Love your post :) I like the idea of treating things as blessings and artful makes them even more pleasurable. Dress-up pics are beautiful...another photographer in the family :)
Oh I love the idea of 'blessing'. I can see my daily or weekly chores in a whole different light. The photo of your daughter is beautiful !
I've always felt that my day is filled with many 'blessings'!!! And, of course, there have always been tasks relegated to us because we are women. As for allowing the girls to use your camera -- FABULOUS!!! LOVE those captures -- they are priceless!!! Hugs, Terri xoxo
Lovely pictures of dress up! Happy tea!
Fabulous photos and sentiment. And what a surprise for you on your camera! What a beautiful girl!! And that shot from the side...truly and artistic pose.
I am Loving Downton Abbey
PBS/Masterpiece Theatre is the best...isn't it
Speaking of THE best...what precious photos of your daughter...she looks like a goddess...great photographer too!
There are so many blessings in this life
Hope you had a lovely T Tuesday

Oh, good!! I BLESSED my kitchen yesterday!! So when I went downstairs this morning - I felt blessed that it was clean!!! LOL
I will try to look at cleaning that way from now on.............maybe! That full length photo of your daughter is stunning and memorable.
You know I'm one of the first to normally check your blog each Wednesday afternoon. But here it is late Thursday and I'm just now getting around to the list of participants. My life is no longer my own. I need to bless my kitchen because it is possibly the one thing that is NOT falling down around me!! And I think some tea would be a good thing about now.
Thanks for visiting every week and leaving such awesome comments. I wouldn't miss Tuesday for the world, even if my world was caving in around me. Thanks for being such a wonderful and gracious host.
I totally forgot to come back and see what you did for Tea Tuesday. Love the girls playing dress-up. So cool that they captured it.
Your daughter is gorgeous! What a beautiful gown she fashioned for herself. A true work of art!
OMG!! Look at that lovely bee fabric!! lol gorgeous blog! :)
