They're Here....They're Here

OK---well they've been here for about 3 weeks now. Please forgive me. I am still trying to work out the right balance of homeschooling, maintaining our home, sewing projects and this blogsite. Here are some pics of my new label. I used them on some cloth napkins I made for my birthday tea party.



While I'm on the subject of my tea party, let me add a few things.....

1-----IT WAS GREAT!! We enjoyed afternoon tea at the Mandarin Oriental in Washington DC.
2-----The food was great
3-----.....setting fabulous
4-----......friends wonderful
5-----....a moment to remember PRICELESS!!

I just can figure out if I had more fun preparing for the tea or at the tea itself. The party bags were a take on Oprah's Favorite Things......on my purse. :^)

Included in the bags were: Diffuser Reed Bouquets from Pier1; Milk Chocolate ‘Jewels’ from Godiva; Tea Leaf Gift Tins from Michael’s; Loose Tea from Teavana; flower-shaped butter cookies from Whole Foods; Facial Wash (Check & Balance) from Origin’s; exfoliating bath soaps/salts --- Mandarin Oriental; cloth napkin--- Cre8ivNotionsbyMiriam; brown craft bags w/Gerber Daisy flower inserts from Michael’s.

There are a few things in life that makes you feel good all over. This day was defintely one of them. I am still smiling about this day. Thank you God. Thanks to my Diva friends for being a part of that moment!
