Charm me with tea pots!

I love my great-grandmother's antique tea cups. And when I saw a tea pot charm on etsy, I was nostalgic for my favourite polka dot tea cup. I searched "tea pot necklace" on the best handmade stuff site etsy.

Tea for one, by KittyRobot

Tea for two, My Cellar Door

Mad Hatter's tea pot, Lunarra Star 

 

High Tea, The Ardent Sparrow

Tissue Flowers

I can't wait to try making these! I read through most of the comments and want to try alternating the tissue paper in colour -- like, pink, white, pink, white -- to see how that would turn out.

Finished look

One commenter said she made them in the 60s out of kleenex for her wedding!

Up close and personal

Get the How-To on zakka life. It's easy and the finished product is just stunning! You could make these for the wedding getaway car, for a bridal or baby shower, or attach to floral stems and keep them in a vase year-round. Happy crafting!

Really Bad Kitty

OK, clearly, I have a thing for off-the-beaten-path. Especially when it comes to wedding-related floral arrangements! Found these hand-stitched, multi-coloured felt bouquets on etsy in a shop called really bad kitty.

And I love!

 

This is an example of a few hand-stitched felt styles.

  

total cuteness, I know. 

And she's also got other faboo items...

boutonnieres (who needs a corsage when everyone could wear these?!?)

pomander

satin and button bouquet

different colour choices for button bouquets

Justin Alexander dress that I adore

OK, I simply had to share this Justin Alexander dress I found in the Alice in Wonderland post from Wedding Paper Divas.

Tea length is back!

Can't you just see it with something off-beat like royal purple shoes? Sigh. Fabulous.
