IT'S TAX DAY

After going to pay your unbelievably high tax bill today, please join those non partisan groups around our states today protesting the ever increasing, out of control -raising- of our taxes as well as the unbelievable amounts of money being spent on the so called "stimulus" packages. Of which, our taxes will be raised again to pay for- (yes it will be paid for by us- in taxes and increases in the cost of goods- don't be fooled).
Afterwards, lift up a cup of tea to our country for the way it use to be and was originally intended a nation for the people, by the people raised upon the great Constitution of the "United States"- NOT Congress! A capitalist nation where every one is afforded the opportunity to produce and provide and make a living from the sweat of their brow and be rewarded for it and reap the benefit of it and not have to give it back to government!!! Then lift a prayer for the direction in which it is headed a spiralling downhill direction. People wake up! Really, take a moment to look at ALL aspects of what is going on- study yourselves, don't just listen to the media- research, seek knowledge, seek information. Then stand up for America!
May GOD & CHRIST bless this nation again.

AND THE WINNER IS............

Okay, so I was really hoping for a big response not that I really have that many readers, but I certainly hoped for more than three. So THANK you to those who did participate and I really had a dilemma on which was the best. Really! So I wrote every one's name on a piece of paper, wadded them into tiny balls and then selected one. And here is the winner- Angela! So send an address to mail it to and I truly hope you enjoy it. And, again thanks for the participation!!

BEFORE

AFTER The fabric was so fragile that I tore part of one & had to mend it. Fortunately it turned out just fine.

"A TEA THEMED GIVE AWAY"

To get in on the latest trend lately, I'm giving away this tea themed scarf. To enter, just leave a note between now and Thursday evening on why you like tea. Make it funny, a poem, a lifestyle- whatever- just enter & I'll look over each entry and decide which I find the best! I'll post the winner on Friday. Good Luck!

Another Pretty Find

At the same little antique mart in Newnan where I found the silver and plates, I found these sweet tea towels and of course HAD to have them as well. I am going to make these into throw pillows for my "Pink" room. I'm using the pink and white striped fabric that's in the background. Aren't they sweet!
