The horses in the field next to us have all had babies.
This one is about a month old.
What a joy to live in the country!

Lowen Annarae was born yesterday!

Our first great niece was born yesterday. She is named Lowen after her grand father and great grandfather. The Annarae is taken from my middle name and my husband's first name. We are so proud! Pictures will appear soon!

A Sip of Tea


"Meanwhile, let us have a sip of tea.
The afternoon glow is brightening the bamboos,
the fountains are bubbling with delight,
the soughing of the pines is heard in our kettle.
Let us dream of evanescence,
and linger in the beautiful foolishness of things."

Pearl Teapot Bracelet


I've been having great fun making these pearl teapot bracelets.
The ideal compliment to your afternoon tea, these bracelets are made with Swarovski pearls and sterling findings.
The top and bottom of the teapot are sterling as is the toggle clasp which consists of a teapot and teaspoon.
What fun!
The overall length is 8 1/4 inches, but can be custom made in any size you wish.
The perfect gift for all of your tea friends!

Greek Festival

We had the privilege of spending Saturday at a Greek Festival at the only Greek church in our nearest Big City.
We listed to fantastic music and watched amateur and professional dancers exhibiting dances from different regions of Greece.
Unfortunately the beer and wines were domestic.
I was really looking forward to sampling the true beverages of the country.
The food was lip smacking good!
