Hello Friends!
Today is Pink Saturday around the blogosphere,
and I thought today might be a good day for me to join in the fun,
because I have a little alltered teacup to share with you. The Marie Antoinette Mail Art Group is having a Marie's Garden Tea Party swap,in which you are to create a beautiful garden party in a tea cup for your partner. My partner is Kris, who likes antique Bavarian china in pink and green colors for Spring.I found the perfect teacup in the first shop I went to!!
Antique! Pink and Green!! Bavarian!!! Since this is the type of china Kris likes to collect,I thought I would make the garden party removeableand not permanently alter the teacup.
I did this by shaving my florist foam into cup form and gluing two rows of leaves over it. Then I glued the bottom of a peat pot to the bottom so the little vignette could stand on it's own. I then glued moss to the florist foam,along with a garden variety of paper flowers and vintage millinery.And a couple of cute little pink mushrooms :)
I made a little garden arch by twisting two long wiredfloral sprays together and shaping into an arch.Which doubles as a handle to lift Marie out to play! :) And because a lady should look good from all sides,
Marie from the back! I had so much fun creating this,this group dreams up the most creative swaps! I'll share the teacup garden party Kris makes for me next Teacup Tuesday! Here's some lovely flowers for you:
Have a great weekend!Time for tea...

Marie Antoinette in a teacup! Who would have thought! Wonderful! Looks like this was lots of fun to make and a swap, too! Happy Tea Day!
Hello Lorraine,
What a pleasure to visit you and see your fabulous creation! The swap sounds so wonderful, and what you have created for your partner is just amazing! The tea cup is really special, and you were brilliant to make the art able to separate from it.
Thank you so much for sharing it for T.T.!
Hugs,
Terri
Your teacup garden is adorable. I'm sure the friend on the receiving end will love it.

Hi Lorraine: That is an amazing treasure. The tea cup alone is stunning. What you did with Marie is just breathe taking. You are so talented. I love it. Thank you so much for sharing it. I am sure your friend will be delighted. I was just looking at it. Blessings, Martha
A truly lovely pink presentation.
How delightful to have Marie and You come to my party!! My grandmother's middle name was Antoinette...first name Catherine..
and her last name...maiden was 12 letters long, and married was 10!
She always bemoaned the fact that you couldn't ever fit her full name on a line when filling out a form! Antoinette is so pretty...yours that is!
GORGEOUS cup..and you did it up beautifully!
Kris will LOVE it!
Blessings, and thanks so much for joining me!

Oh my, what a lovely and enchanting idea. Perfect for a decoration for a very special tea party for an older child or grandchild, along with one of the delightful older childrens tea sets with more delectable flowers. Thank you so much for this special idea on Pink Saturday!
So beautiful! Come and join my Color Connection meme too. The linky is at my Pink Dinosaurs entry. Have a lovely weekend!
Fantastic. Just love this!
Happy Pink Saturday greetings from Holland.

That is beautiful, Lorraine! What a great Mother's Day gift this would be. I like that you made the arrangement removable, too.
visiting from Feathered Nest Friday : )
HPS!
Love it!

Love your teacup Marie! I really like the way you decided to make Marie an insert s Kris could use the teacup. She's going to LOVE it! Happy Pink Saturday. ~Marti
What a fun swap. Your teacup creation is both fun and lovely. What a creative thing to do.
Have a wondeful weekend.
Bonjour Lorraine! Thank you for visiting me, although after seeing your amazing, beautiful creations, I'm thinking milk and cookies was a bit TOO simple. Oh well...at least you are very inspiring to all of us:)
Happy P.S!

Lorraine....I LOVE your blog. Where have you been since I've been blogging the last 5 months. wow! And your Marie Antoinette tea cup is beautiful yet can be used as a tea cup the way you did it. How smart is that. I've been perusing your blog. I am following you but I don't know if I had signed up before. And I love your french music. Wish I had had it for my Parisienne luncheon. It would have been perfect. I too love Marie Antoinette things and my cupcakes are a little lame but honestly I ran out of time. I use to be a really great cake decorator but not anymore. I rarely do it now. Also as I read your bio I see that you live in So. Calif. I was born and grew up there. It has changed alot since then. But I still love to go back and visit. I especially miss the beach. I was a sun freak as a teen. I am going to sign up for your emails. I really like what you do.
