Mary Moments~

One of the reasons we blog and surf is to be inspired..in your heart..in your home..at the table..in the garden.
A virtual classroom.
Over the past few years a few people have inspired me in many ways.I talk about them at my table with my family:)
So they are REAL:)Some I have even met!
One girl,who inspires many is Mary..
I like to package as you know and a while back she showed us how SHE packages small treats..cookies etc..
I recently bought a few vintage teacups I may be able to part with for just this reason:)

I love her idea.. way better than a plate or a box..to me..


Vintage teacups are easy to find..
I could never part with my mother's~But found ones?
Good idea with Valentine's Day coming up..
P.S. in my "Find" I found one with MOTHER in the cup..Happy me.

  7. Dear Monique,

    I found you through lovely Jain's blog. I used to follow both of you for gardening tips and WFD at Garden Buddies! Your garden is just absolutely beautiful. I haven't been to GB for a little while and I am so glad that you decided to start blogging. You are such an inspiration too! I love the idea of the tea cup for a sweet Valentine's Day gift. Thank you for all that you share! I am off to read more of your lovely posts!

    Blessings,
    Selia

  8. They remind me of your beautifully lit glass Christmas blocks wrapped in ribbon - glowing with wonderful light.

    Whoever receives these will be delighted!

  12. They are beautiful gifts and your recipients are lucky to have you in their lives. These were in one of my 1956 magazines as well, so the idea has been around for a while.
