Marie in a Teacup and ATCs!

Hello Friends!

It's another Pink Saturday!!As promised, I am sharing the very lovely teacup that Kris made for me in the Marie's Teacup Garden Party Swap.
It's sooooo beautiful!! And Limoges!!Isn't Marie cute with fairy wings?

I love the color combination, aqua and lavender.

Thank you so so much Kris!  I had so much fun with this swap,searching for the right teacup and creating my little vignette.And then to receive such a lovely teacup garden partyin return is the icing on the cake!! OK.I think I must share the Marie Teacup ATCsI made for our monthly ATC swap at MAMA.They're not atually teacups,but they're pretty cute.I must confess to a flight of whimsy on these :)

and...

Soo much fun to create! And now, since it is May, and lilies-of-the-valley are the flower of the month,I'd love to share some lovely images of this sweet flower with you.Also called muguet in French,they are part of a charming custom in France.Every May 1, one would take a little bouquet of lilies-of-the-valley,available from the many flower peddlers on the street,to all the important ladies in their life--mothers, wives, aunts, girlfriends, grandmothers, etc. I have always loved this flower,my grandmother had a huge bunch growing all along her back fence, where it was shady and moist. So here are some muguets for you, dear readers:
