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!
I forgot to mention that I am totally impressed with your deck. Sounds like a HUGE job.
Haha! 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. 🙂
Ah, the tales the teacup will tell if only in our imaginations! I agree with Nathalie, life gives us decks and stains. 🙂
Aaah, 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……
what a brilliant pedestal for the TTea Cup…guess we’re lucky that our TTea cup made it across the ocean and back without incident
I 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.
I 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.
Happy T on T
Peace~

Great pic of the cup and I’m happy to hear she’s on her way 🙂
