the day was warm ...

well it wasn't REALLY
... warm, that is ...
but with a little imagination, it seemed that way
:)



and the dahlias ARE blooming ... and the bees ARE still buzzing



and with a window or two open
(while wearing the first woolen sweater of the season)
and the kettle on



all was well
:)




ingredients:
7x10" book cover
watercolor paper
better homes and gardens cookbook page (1950's)
tea bag papers
early reader primer text (1960's)
tea bag string
photo transfer of my very own dahlias
bee stamp
gesso, paint, beeswax, ink, stitching, tearing, cutting, gluing

I love this - I just got a box full of bits, pieces and papers - (that I really didn't need) maybe I will create something like this- or, maybe I should just mail the stuff to you!!!

Adore your beezy weezy creations dear Kimmie AND how you've incorporated tea paper and string...I have a huge collection that I just photographed and have plans for as well!

We woke up to 43 degrees this early am and it never got very close to 80 even....change is in the air...now I need to find my house slippers...this barefoot girl has chilly feet :)

Love this post very much!
