I'm here for Teapot Tuesday & I hope there is still some hot tea left for me.
This week we are headed for London (London, Ohio that is). We are to bring things Victorian - lace, fine china, flowers, etc. When I think Victorian I think big gorgeous blooms of cabbage roses, hydrangea & peonies so I just had to use my "blooming" vellum as a backdrop. It lead to a rather large card (This thing just kept growing). The buttons in the corner are from a collection that belonged to my grandmother. Having lived through the depression, she recycled many things & buttons were just one example. Needing white buttons for a project several years ago I went through her collection. I was amazed to find over & again buttons that I remembered from this sweater or that dress. It was a joy to wander down that memory lane again as I made this card.

Oh Vicky, had to come see this for myself!! What a wonderful trip into the past with the old buttons and gorgeous lace!! Your images are so very classy - reminds me of getting dressed up and going downtown to Philadelphia to the Wanamaker's Tea room with my grandmother when I was young!! Great memories brought back by your lovely card!!
