Imaginary tea is just as fun as
the real deal some days…

My BFF turns the big 4-0 tomorrow. Since she’s across the country from me I decided to SPAM her snail mail box this past week. I’m sure she’ll get me back next month when I going the club but its all in good fun. Neither of us are freaking out about 40…it just doesn’t seem possible. I feel like I’m 20 something.I sliced open the side of a water bottle and filled it with a packet of flowers seeds, a knit dishcloth, crochet scrubbie, a wine cork, confetti, a few fortunes and a note.
The note explained the contents…In summary it said:If I were there I’d give her flowers, instead she’ll have to plant her own.If I were there I’d help her clean her house, instead she’ll have to have her family to do it for her.If I were there I’d share a bottle of wine but sorry I drank it.
I also made a series of postcards with little snarky remarks all in jest of course.
I realize this post doesn’t really have anything to do with tea… other than the fact that Sandy and I often have a cup of tea and a chat over the phone.Stop by Kimmie’s blog to see some “real” tea posts.

You may (or may not) have noticed that I have not posted anything since last Wednesday.I had intentions of completing projects but my back had other plans. An ice pack, ibuprofen and my chiropractor have been my friends this past week.While sitting and icing, I’ve managed to finish The Help.I like to read the novel before seeing a movie based on the book.
And this, otherwise not comfortable, chair my friend. It has a nice firm straight back…something none of our the seating seems to provide.It’s made of elk antlers and is over 100 yrs old.I want to recover it in something more interesting than what is currently on it.It was my Grandfather’s chair.He traded an eye exam and glasses for it with a North Dakota Congressman or Governor in the early 1900’s.I’ve heard the story both ways.Pretty neat, huh!It’s definitely a conversation piece!!The reason for the doll in the chair is to show one project that I did complete.
A tiny knit hat for Rosie.Well my back has had just about enough sitting in front of the computer.I’ll have to go check out the rest of the Tea Tuesday links over at Kimmie’s blog later.
