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

tea bag papers
early reader primer text (1960's)
tea bag string
photo transfer of my very own dahlias
bee stamp

    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!!!

    This is a beautiful piece. I love all those small details, they come together seamlessly.
