Afternoon Tea !

Posted on August 22, 2009 by ElenaMay 28, 2015

Welcome to Pink Saturday!

If a delightful afternoon tea is not on your To Do list then you must add it immediately. Wouldn’t it be so nice if all Pink Saturday participants could enjoy a refreshing and delicious afternoon tea together? We could all bring something to the party.

I’ll start with a vintage style, rose tea set. This teapot, creamer & sugar set will do nicely for our cyber tea.

A pretty pink, tiered cake stand will hold our cupcakes and slices…… who is bringing the cupcakes?

….And a pink tray for sandwiches? Although, I’d prefer to serve delicious chocolates instead. Notice something sparkling under the tray? They are the pink beads and sequins of a table runner.

We’ll also need lovely pink dessert plates for our scrumptious fills. However, if you prefer smaller portions then the pretty cake plate will also match your tea cup.

I hope you’ve enjoyed this week’s Pink Saturday and the cyber afternoon tea – I’ve been enjoying all your Pink Satuday posts. Let me know that you’ve dropped by and I’ll return the visit.

There are many wonderful entries for Pink Saturday which is hosted by Beverly at How Sweet The Sound. Take time to visit participants’ blogs and see how Pink everyone’s Saturdays can be.

Happy Pink Saturday!

Are You A Comment Junkie?

Posted on August 21, 2009 by ElenaMay 28, 2015

Do you take notice of the comment notes at the Post A comment box on the blogs you visit? I love some of the ones I’ve seen. A while back I tried to change my comment note and after a a few hours of trials for this persistent blogger I managed to find how to go about the changes. Mine now reads as Round Table Chit-Chats. I add –

Now that you’ve finished reading this post, please don’t leave without adding your voice to the Round Table Chit Chat.
I love reading your chit-chats …. and visiting Your Blog.

At my Precious Treasures blog my visitors leave Inspired Thoughts.

At A Good Cup Of Coffee, visitors comments are cups poured.

The Simple Woman’s Daybook comments are Kind Notes.

I’ve seen lots of other comment ‘types’ but I love what Ann Rae from Critical Mass has for her comment box –

I’m a comment junkie. Thank you feeding my habit.

If you would like to feed Ann’s habit, write a kind note, an inspired thought or would like a cup poured then take some time to visit.

Have you a cute comment name on your blog? Then please join in with our Round Table Chit-Chat 😉 I’d love to hear what it is.

Have fun and enjoy …. let me know how you get along – you’re bound to be faster than me

Pink Pretties & Tassels

Posted on August 15, 2009 by ElenaMay 28, 2015

Welcome to Pink Saturday!

Pretty trims and fanciful whimsies soften your surrounds and add a delightful little spark to any spot needing brightening up. Tassels are purely decorative and are something I enjoy creating. This tassel (below) is a soft body tassel made with hand dyed fringing, long beaded fringing and a velvet flower trim.

Tassels are quite simple to make. these four tassels were made to complement a table topper. They’re not only decorative but act a a weight for each corner of the tablecloth.

A gorgeous shimmering sheer needed equally impressive tassels to match. They’re hand dyed and are larger than most tassels for tablecloths but they are removeable and can be used elsewhere.

I love beaded fringing – it sets the creative mind buzzing. Not much needed here to create this tassel.

…. can’t stop with tassels – just had to trim this compote, after painting it, with the gorgeous beaded fringing to turn it into a recreated treasure.

…. a tiny, cute tassel adds more prettiness to the fluffy organza gift bag.

I hope you’ve enjoyed this week’s Pink Saturday – I’ve been enjoying all your Pink Satuday posts. Let me know that you’ve dropped by and I’ll return the visit.
