Congratulations to the Teapotters, celebrating their 300th challenge! This week, they are looking for furniture and teapots to decorate the old family mansion.
Almost 15 years ago, my dear friend Michele got me started with stamping. We would get together and share stamps and supplies. This image is one that I stamped from her supplies oh so many years ago and colored, then it was tucked away in my pile of things I started, but didn't completely turn into a card. I know, we all have that pile, stash, shoebox....
So, here is my antique (from my early work) contribution to the challenge. I used the apothecary die to create a cute little table for my teapot and the doilies as placemats for my guest and myself.
Thanks for looking and hope you enjoy my card and my story (the teapot challenges are all about the story).

Not just a beautiful dainty tea-set, but what a fantastic little table you created to set it on - not to mention the dainty doilies. I love the matching serviette too , I love using the old linen ones I acquired from my grandmother, and I even have some damask ones with soft pink flowers, almost like this one!

I call it my hope chest---things to do a card with sometime--as hate to toss anything that could make a card just so. Love your tea set and the colors are great and the doily makes it better.

How awesome that your lovely tea set reaches back to a time shared with a friend! Aren't memories grand?
