Autumn Swap continuation...

from my last post (Masquarade 10/31/08) and (Autumn in Paris 11/01/08) i couldn't download some pics of this awesome swap i'm participating in...finally, here are those pics i promised for Sofia Barao's Autumn Swap:
my partner has such a powerful mind...every thought means something and for the past few weeks i truly have been reading their on-line journal with passion...every post is like a very good novel, you just can't stop reading it. there's so much i've already learned because of the wisdom that soule has put out into the world. i wanted to send so many things...to comfort, to give a sense of peacefulness...just to enjoy the simple things in life...so here goes, i surely hope this kind spirit will enjoy these lil' treasures as much as i loved finding them for this inspirational soule...
this amazing person loves chocolate, tea and has magnificent tastes in novels.

reading is one of this individual's favourite pastime...

hmmm....this book was oozing with magnificence...wish i could've snagged a copy for myself...hmmm...

i saw this sweet pattern and felt such a warmth about it...i'm hoping this kindred spirit will be able to use it...

these are somethings my partner absolutely enjoys...

brrrr...it's getting a bit nippy out there, hoping my partner can use this to pour a cuppa yumminess...

mmmmmm...one favourite flavour...

who wouldn't love to take a huge bite out of this?!
so perfect with a cup of tea...

can you guess what's in the upper righthand corner...mmmm
hoping my lil' box of sunshine will brighten your day...connecting with you through Sofia's Autumn Swap surely brought more wisdom+sweetness into my life-merci!...thank you, Sofia, for hosting such a creative and unique swap... for more gorgeous pics of sweet Autumn Swap presents...go here!
looking so forward to see what surprises await in my mailbox this week...until next time...
bonne nuit...

ahhh...Summer Birthday Virtual Tea Party...


Well...today was a real scorcher out there...what I needed was a lil' break and enjoy some of the beautiful weather here...so happy that my lil' gal, Shioban, helped me prepare for our lil' celebration outdoors. I participated in my sis, Mary Ann's flickr group-Vintage Tea Room's Summer Birthday Virtual Tea Party...it also is her special B-day and she lucked out having a b-day party the way she would like it...wish I could have spent it with my mom + sis...but my lil' ones have school and we can't miss anymore days... My sis and mom, really probably had a feast...I could smell it now...man, wish i was there!!! I truly bet it was amazing!!!!!!!!

This is what I had at our special party: lil' creamy veggie finger sandwiches all shaped as bunnies, butterflies and hearts...cheese+crackers, assorted delicious cookies, homemade raspberry bars, raspberry rendevouz tea, pizelles, strawberries, chocolates...

mmm....so yummy!
this is my special tea cup...bought this cup several months ago at P.O.S.H. Chicago... i LOVE that shoppe!!! so many neat French lovelies over there! i think i need to re-visit that shoppe, find some wonderful goodies and take some pics!

the raspberry rendevouz tea was delicious!!! (and let's not forget this GORGEOUS cake...it's divine!)


mmm...i adore my raspberry bars...been making these for YEARS!
for more beautiful tea time...go here ... you'll be wishing you had joined in on the fun!!!

all in all...it was a fantastic day! a bit hot w/pesky lil' flies but watching the lil' ones eat all the goodies made it so worthwhile!!!
Happy B-day, Sweet Sis and thank you for hosting such a wonderful Virtual Tea Party...Loved it all!
Bonne Nuit
