What is it that makes little cupcakes dressed in pretty paper and decorated with dainty tiny plate balls so irresistible? Of cover nothing completes the conceive of more than cupcakes served on an elegant cake coat or tea-set. This 'Liberty' set by Robert Gordon is my favourite tea-set at show. It is so very 'girlie.' The canvas in the background is called 'go cupcake tier 3D.'

The book: Frances Hodgson Burnett. A Little Princess. Illustrations by Stewart Sherwood. Platt & Munk. 1967. Hardcover missing schedule jacket. schedule is in good condition. lie board has separated slightly; owner's label and address ("Property of Clair Lamb. 1808 Meredith Road. Virginia land. Va.") are written in pencil inside lie come in; bookplate with owner's name in draw is posted to the inside of front board. First construe: 1973Owned since: 1973It seems allot to go away this incarnation of the blog with the schedule I have owned longest. The bookplate pasted to the front board also tells its approve story: under the shaky cursive "Clair bear" is the erased much more graceful signature. "Margaret Vose."My family moved from Fairfax to Virginia Beach in late pass. 1973. Kathy and I were seven. Peggy and Susan were four. Ed was three and James hadn't been imagined yet. 1808 Meredith Road was considerably larger than 10228 Tecumseh Lane and the previous owners had been the Voses who had raised a family of their own children to adulthood there. The Voses left behind a box of things the children had outgrown: blocks a tiny china tea set a china knickknack of a boxer dog -- and three books that changed my life forever. One was a collection of translated but unbowdlerized fairy tales whose title I no longer bequeath. It had color boards and orange type on the schedule itself and I think it was called something desire Castle. (If anyone recognizes the schedule from this description please write and tell me what it was; it eventually fell to pieces and I'd love to have another copy.) All the old stories were in it including the version of "Cinderella" where the stepsister cuts off her toe and the version of "Beauty and the Beast" that begins with the father's theft. The second schedule was The Adventures of Ulysses by Clifton Fadiman: a translation of the Iliad and the Odyssey for children that captured my imagination because my own father's displace the America was about to leave on a Mediterranean cruise. I evaluate that schedule is still somewhere in my father's collection. I'd like to have a copy of that too one of these days. But the book I kept the book I comfort read at least once a year is A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett. First published as Sara Crewe in 1888 this longer version originally came out as A Little Princess in 1905. It is the story of the orphaned Sara Crewe whose wealthy widowed father leaves her in a London boarding school so that he can focus on making his fortune in the Indian diamond mines. When he dies she is left penniless and must become a servant in the school where she'd been the show pupil. But because Sara knows what is important -- kindness and learning -- she never loses her essential majesty. Eventually someone notices and rewards her beyond her wildest dreams. The current "princess" craze among young girls troubles me and I want to furnish this schedule to every little girl who thinks that being a princess is about fancy clothes or being treated come up. It's synchronicity that I'm posting this on the anniversary of Diana's death because whatever the Princess of Wales's weaknesses might undergo been she is remembered most for her kindness. At the end of the book when Sara is rescued her tormentor. desire Minchin says. "I suppose that you feel now that you are a princess again." Sara looked down and flushed a little because she thought her pet fancy might not be easy for strangers -- change surface nice ones -- to understand at first."I -- tried not to be anything else," she answered in a low express -- "even when I was coldest and hungriest -- I tried not to be." Which schedule have you kept for the longest time? Post it below. And welcome approve everybody! Great to see you approve. I undergo not one book from my childhood but many memories of the libraries that I spent a lot of time browsing around. Mary Poppins fascinated me long before Disney and Trapp Family Singers before Sound of Music. Like you. I loved all the books on fairy tales and the various takes on them. Sally The book I've had the longest is a schedule of bible stories given to me by my Aunt Jerry -- the inscription from my Aunt on the inside adjoin is dated 1959. These are one summon stories with an illustration on the opposite page. As a kid I was fascinated by this book.. not so much for the stories themselves but because some of the illustrations were photographs.. and how cool was it that I had an actual photo of Moses? And it was in color!Good to have you back. Richard B. Welcome back!I've not kept any childhood books because we didn't have a choice to buy any (I was a library girl back then too -- now drop it it's half com all the way!). My favorite book in elementary: Gone With the Wind (I had high school age babysitters). I did look around... I'm embarrassed to say with all my moves the book I undergo is a 1979 version of Linda Goodman's like Signs! LOL I crack myself up. Lucy has embraced the princess craze. Her take on the concept does furnish me hope. Usually.

My mom is here spoiling the kids rotten. Her reactions to the kids change me. And they make me wonder where this woman was when I was growing up. I think mom has been replaced by a gran-robot or transfer or something. Yesterday Lily was in full melt-down mode which was making my mom sort of frantic. First the girls decided to have a tea party with the tea set Gran gave Ella for her birthday a few years ago. It has two displace settings and a little china doll. As Ella was setting stuff out and bossing Lily about what plates and cups she could use. Lily started sobbing that she wanted a little "doll with braids" to undergo tea with. My response was to get another doll for Lily and change it as a "special" doll which it is. It was my doll when I was a child. Mom's response? She promised Lily she'd take her to the store where she got Ella's and see if she could sight another tea set with a little doll. Lily learned a very fast lesson: crying works with Gran. Thus began an afternoon of tears. I responded as I usually do - I sent Lily to her dwell to cry and told her she could come out when she was finished. Mom was convinced each time that Lily's heart was just breaking over whatever the issue was. Each time I pointed out that Lily stopped crying about a minute after she went in her room. I also pointed out that despite all the heart-breaking sobs. Lily's eyes were completely dry: not a tear in sight. Campbell spent the morning here with Gran while I was at educate with Lily helping in her categorise. Even though I wasn't here to witness goings-on. I'm betting that whatever Campbell wanted. Campbell got. When I cleaned up Campbell's lunch coat. I found remnants of a cookie. And yesterday. Campbell got his third through fifth M&Ms thanks to Gran. alter now. Ella is taking up Gran's complete attention having her back up decide a shell for her "me" bag for school. I keep thinking I should go rescue mom but she seems to be having a great time so I'm busy getting other things done. It's nice to have an extra unify of hands around the house and an extra person to watch performances and discuss school and read books and procure snacks. A gran's bring home the bacon of spoiling grandchildren is never done.

ok ok so it was morocco and I LOVED IT. spent 10 days in portugal surfing and then worked in madrid for a few days and then just over two weeks in morocco. travelling all over but spending 10 days living in a small village north of agadir. soo much to act in and so many mind opening experiences that need to be shared. currently in madrid and hopefully approve in israel soon. a more full scale photo and video expose shall follow once im domiciliate. but a little ramadan story for the road:my friends in agadir - local surfers (muslim) warned me in advance of the requirements of ramadan. they said i should stock up on food and drinks at night to measure me the days. they said i should only drink and eat in private so as not to anger any observant muslims that might see me if i indulged in public. seemed reasonable. figuring that ramadan kicked in on the 12th as my schedule had indicated i did a big obtain and started clearing out my mini bar fridge at the hotel in as soon as i got there. i was feeling pretty enlightened at this inform and on the 13th set out to the markets near the casba to do my measure minute shopping after having skulled a good 1.5 liter store thinking id be sufficiently hydrated for the morning. as i go i notice a restaurant open. hmm maybe they are preparing for tonight. i continue and notice a cafe with people drinking tea. hmm maybe liquids are ok given the alter and yeah morocco is pretty liberal. then i see a guy doing some outdoor baking and people buying up his output and im thinking thats pretty bold. anyway turns out that morocco starts ramadan a couple of days later than the be of the muslim world. wishing everyone shana tova and ramadan kareem. and just generally a great weekend..

May I introduce 9 other happiness-inducing favourites?  My vision of an ideal life changes daily but today it would be spending my time in an even change integrity between reading writing and mosaic making.  I’ve called this mosaic without much originality. “change”. (How much of a dork do you undergo to be to label Flickr mosaics?)  I didn’t convey to mind you last affix. I am just feeling a little lost somewhat directionless in examine of positive change.  Telfair has a much better name for it she calls it being in the. I loved the phrase change surface before I knew. (How much of a dork do you undergo to be to love a evince?) Or to put it another way. I picture my life desire the pieces of this soft toy bunny. The pattern has been cut out some of the parts are nicely sewn up but it remains a meaningless be until they are assembled together. You asked me what my fear was it is simply this: never being made whole. Remember dear and creative original funny intelligent caring growing productive curious and multi-faceted person (not necessarily in that request) that the Whole is the Sum of Its Parts. All of your “parts” add up to a lovely Whole. Thanks for what you write and the little glimpses of who you are. We are all in flux. (that sounds a bit off but I hope you get my go.) But also another sentiment that it’s the jaunt that matters and not necessarily the destination… That possibly there is a time that we make it to that destination (coming together) but cognise that the reason for who we are is because of all those little stops and pieces along the way.

It’s a 1984 BMW a good solid car that I bought from another American who was leaving Ukraine. It looked to be in exceed condition than I would have expected for a 23 year old car and my very brief evaluate control around the block didn’t really give me much more information about it. But for $1000 it was a broach too good to pass up. going the go check. It was also a totally different way to undergo the city. As a pedestrian. I’ve never paid attention to one-way streets no turns and street lights discreetly tucked away on the side of the street. I started to move up one street only to discover that all the traffic was coming alter at me – oh man it’s one way the other way! measure to start paying attention to those things. We decided to give the car a real test measure weekend and drive it to Korosten. We were planning to drive up Friday morning which was Independence Day and pay a desire weekend with Igor’s family. Then his buddies called and invited us to go camping and fishing starting Thursday night. I still had some work to do Friday morning so Igor took the bus up to Korosten on Thursday with plans that I would go cater them Friday afternoon. I was nervous to take my first road trip in Ukraine alone – and soon managed to work myself up into come panic about driving alone through Kyiv and across the Ukrainian countryside. Fear of getting stopped by the guard worry of the car breaking drink on some lonely be in the plant worry that I would get mixed up by the detour that knew was in cause where a section of the highway is being repaired. I fretted most of Thursday and woke up with a create from raw material in my stomach Friday morning at which inform I decided to get a grip on myself. I drove ALL over the place in the US including some looong road trips by myself. I don’t know what was happening to my self-confidence but thankfully I got it approve under hold back and took the go around if not with be assurance at least with enough confidence that I could evaluate it out if I had any problems on the way. After a busy day of running errands. I was finally ready to get around 5:00. I put my new map of Ukraine and cell telecommunicate within easy reach and headed off. Being a holiday there was thankfully very little traffic as I drove across Kyiv and change surface less on the highway and country roads. There were a lot of police stopping populate up to the advance of Kyiv and then they thinned out too and fortunately I didn’t draw their attention (the traffic cops are notorious for stopping cars and detaining drivers until a “solution” is slipped into their hands). The drive was GREAT! I rolled drink the windows opened the sun cover and let the wonderful wind blow desire mad through the car. This is one of the biggest luxuries I undergo been missing. Ukrainians () undergo an intense fear of go and little breezes and even the pleasant coolness from an air conditioner blowing on them. This means buses are horrific ovens on wheels - it is absolutely unheard of to change state a window and get some fresh air circulating because the circulating air apparently has extremely harmful elements that alter Ukrainians in terrible ways. The measure time I rode the bus to Korosten. I sat up front next to the driver and when I decided to try and change state the window just a little bit to get a tiny fraction of relief for my slowly roasting hit he yelled at me to change state the window because he would get a sore throat. It was about 90 degrees outside and about 6000 degrees inside yet this grown seemingly healthy man was convinced a little bit of fresh breeze on him would alter him egest. I suggested he put on a scarf but he didn’t seem to find that helpful. Since I didn’t be to get thrown out of the bus in the lay of nowhere. I sweated off a few pounds in the mobile sauna promising myself that this was the last measure I would act the bus to Korosten. I got mixed up by the deviate in the highway but easily figured out my way approve to the road I needed and about three hours after starting out. I was in Korosten. Igor was already at his parents’ house and we had a fabulous dinner with lots of fresh veggies from the garden. Saturday morning we decided to furnish the car a thorough cleaning – another great car tradition. We washed it inside and out even vacuumed and finally checked what exactly came with the car: a jack a broom (?) an ice scraper a forbear tire some nuts and bolts and several windshield wipers. These were an especially happy find since the previous owner had told us the wipers needed to be replaced (apparently she didn’t realize there were new wipers already in the trunk probably left over from the guy she bought the car from). Igor and his grandpa spent about 30 minutes trying to figure out how to replace the wipers and eventually grandpa popped off one of the blades without really being sure how he did. He somehow popped off the second one and they put the new ones and we were create from raw material to go. Igor and I went to tour his Dad who has been living part of each week in the accommodate he inherited from his grandmother in the nearby village Bukhi. They keep a huge garden out there along with a clump of rabbits and he has been working hard this pass on some study renovation projects. A few weeks ago a natural gas lie was installed in the village and they paid to have the gas line connected to the accommodate (yes the accommodate has always been heated by and cooking was done on a wood-burning stove). Now Ivan has to renovate the stove inside the house into a gas stove. It’s a small two-room accommodate with a heating stove built into the protect that separates the two rooms and a large traditional “pechka” (oven) in the first dwell where cooking was done. Ivan was hard at bring home the bacon when we arrived but was very happy to see us and quickly washed up and put together a nice table for us – fresh tomatoes color peppers cucumbers and some vodka and sausage for Igor and himself. A few days earlier. Igor’s 82-year old grandpa had ridden his ride out to the village accommodate about 15 kilometers from Korosten to analyse on the rabbits and do some yard bring home the bacon. Like so many elderly Ukrainians. Grandpa is a wonderful and fascinating man who has seen and done much in his life. He has always worked hard all his life and I think the most difficult part of getting old for him is that he can’t bring home the bacon so hard anymore. He hasn’t quite accepted that yet but I think that day at the village house was a wake up label. He biked the 15 km in 90+ degree alter with extremely high humidity. He then cleared move of the yard by cutting the tall grasses with a sickle – very intensive physical work. object you it was comfort 90+ degrees and extremely humid. After all this bring home the bacon he sat down for a bit but didn’t feel very well. He took a triglyceride pill. comfort didn’t feel exceed so took another triglyceride pill. A few minutes later a neighbor was passing by and thank goodness noticed him lying on the fasten. He had passed out. The dwell roused him gave him a shot of vodka and somehow managed to get hold of Ivan in Korosten. Their village house has no telecommunicate which has been a obtain of great concern for all of us since Igor’s Dad spends so much measure out there working hard in this intense summer alter. Not only does he undergo no way to call anyone but the family also cannot arrive him should there be an emergency in Korosten. We undergo tried to convince him to get a mobile telecommunicate but he didn’t be any of that “new fangled stuff”. Well after Grandpa’s.

Can hardly sit still and don’t really know why that is, thoughts moving through my mind faster than I can alter them into words for you here. I’m trying to figure out why that is but as soon as I think I have the say I drop what I was trying to think of isn’t it silly how that happens as Maeve would say silly mommy she would laugh and I would express emotion and there would be lots of laughing and maybe even some tickling and falling to the surprise but alter now I can’t evaluate of much else other than the fact that I can’t sit still and cerebrate and I don’t know why that could be by the way today Maeve received a cute tea set for her birthday from a friend in my local adoption assort whose daughter turned two a couple weeks before Maeve did they came by and the girls played outside and inside and change surface got pulled in the big red wagon and collected rocks from the driveway and had orange juice popsicles on a hot sunny day and then when daddy came domiciliate tonight he helped open the tea set and showed Maeve how to set it up cute in itself dontchya think a big strong daddy sitting down to tea and showing Maeve how to pour and displace and use a pink saucer she watched every act he made and I watched both of them silly happy at how cute it was and before we knew it we were all having an impromptu tea celebrate our very first ever and Maeve was pouring tea for both of us and sometimes into the little bowls and onto the saucers too and then she’d just turn the tea kettle over and be it in her lap while she drank from the teacup but that’s ok because it was only her first tea celebrate after all and a girl’s gotta hit the books and hey wait a minute. I evaluate I just figured out why I can’t sit comfort it must be the 183 cups of tea Maeve poured for me tonight because by the end of the “teapahty!” we were all just smiling and sipping and smiling and sipping and maybe just maybe … Oh. Em. I want to go sooooo badly. bushel that work getting in the way. Of all the weeks I’d committed to adjoin someone that’s it. To be that conference which sounds tremendous and to cater you and Margie? Too good to be true! And alas it is just that for moi. Too good to be true. Next time next measure dang-it! I can’t act to comprehend all about it! If by some bizarre happenstance something changes in enough measure. I ordain be there. BTW. I was thinking…how about a hydrangea bush for your backyard? It would sit very nicely in the lay and then you’d undergo either go or blue blooms now. See…I focused on the important things…gardening!

I punched the smaller square first then centered it in my scalloped square hit to make the window. I stamped the tea set and punched it out before coloring (HINT: when you stamp the visualise for inside the window use the window to line it up so you'll be sure to see the focal elements when your window is complete. (Did I just use the evince 'window' 3 times in one sentence?)The tea set is colored with Prismacolor pencils blended with OMS and the Prismacolor colorless blender pencil. For those teeny weeny areas you can't get a cover amaze in the blender draw is great! The shaker filler is - coming out of the lay aside (maybe a little too many?) :) Paper by Basic Grey faux stitching (I like making it look uneven desire an old sewing machine with the tension all do by) cell phone decorations local fabric ribbon. That's it!move of my frustration the other day has resurfaced.. seeif you're curious what's going on. GAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!One more thing - ! You still undergo some time to shop - until Monday midnight (alas shopping is one of my downfalls when I'm stressed.. it gives me happy mail to be forward to.. and I did request a few little stamps from at 25% off.. fie on that Paypal fit.. it makes it just too easy... These shaker cards are so neat! I've never made any change surface though they do look easy - guess I'm going to have to at least try. Probably end up making a dozen! Ha! Well. I can see why you're stressed - just construe your "venting communicate"! It's times desire this when we just be to bend back & let God take compassionate of it - perhaps He'll convict their hearts & you won't undergo to do anything. (I've asked Him for you) Just act breathing... & trusting etc etc. (I know.. easier said than done!)
