Check out this wonderful Teapot and card from Cindy this week. I'd love to see all the details better - it looks like there is a little trapdoor in the roof, and something that could be a ladybird or a big red berry, or a penguin dressing up as a robin, on the handle.
I am so glad we are bird-watching. I've borrowed back this little *binoculars case* that I cased from Faith last year for DH - Safari Bag. by Cook22 at Splitcoaststampers
I forgot my glasses, so when I got to the airport this morning I think I boarded the wrong flight. I don't know if I've ended up back in Paris (wishful thinking), or maybe I'm meeting up with Peggy to travel down with her - anyhow I found a French bakery...
The papers are miscellaneous DCWV, Old World and maybe Asian. The image from Rubber Romance was stamped onto watercolour paper with Memories Artprint Brown and coloured with watercolour pencils. I added Glossy Accents to all the windows, but you can't see it in the photo. The edges are distressed (to DH's distress - what are you doing that for, it's not pristine anymore). The green layer is embossed with the leafy ef and wiped with Peeled Paint distress ink (more commentary from DH - why Peeled Paint???). Well, the Shady Tree bakery for birds has to be down in the woods, doesn't it? The edges of that layer are distressed too. The base layer has faux stitching around the edges. I added 3 Making Memories snaps. Yikes, they weren't meant to be that close to each other - I'd forgotten I wasn't using the little bitty 1/4" ones I mostly use.
The bird queuing up to get in is from Sideshow Stamps, stamped on scraps of paper, again with brown ink.
Penguin? What Penguin??? I don't see any penguin...
I know it's a bakery and I said I'd bring baking, and I even remembered to buy soft brown sugar for the peanut-butter cookies (well, our birds eat their way through a ton of peanuts!!). But Irish strawberries were on special offer this morning, so I'm bringing strawberry icecream instead.

Hee! This scene is perfection! I love the owl, the ostrich, the flamingo, the robin, the cuckoo, Big Bird, the emu, and the cardinal! Good thing you didn't put a penguin in this picture, because he should only come when Cindy has black tie affairs, snicker!

Sabrina, I'm finally catching up on all I've missed in your gallery the past several weeks. What a treat it is to see your fabu creations! This is utterly charming and sweet. And your stories are delightful. What do you mean DH doesn't like the distressed edges? At what point does pristine become less interesting? LOL.
As ever, another terrific creation! tsmfs
