High Tea at Maggie's Tea Room

My friend, Paddy, and I took a drive up to New Tampa this afternoon. We went to have lunch at "Maggie's Tea Room". I had met, Jackie, one of the owners recently at a networking group I belong to. Paddy and I had planned on lunch together today so I suggested Jackie's place. It was delightful, the place was too cute, and everyone was very warm and welcoming. We both had the "High Tea" including cute little cucumber sandwiches. It's a charming place and we both had a really nice time.
We're still trying to make it up to Lunch on Limoge in Dade City. Perhaps, next week.

Free Smilebox this weekend from Smilebox.com...

So Hallmark is offering a free "pet" Smilebox this Labor Day weekend...I put together a few pics of my 'babies' to share.

Don't you just Love T.J.Maxx????

On Tuesday I found these really inexpensive ($3.00 on sale) displays at T.J.Maxx. I bought two, brought them home, and put Cherries and black/white gingham ribbon on them. How cute of a display are they??!! I've been busy working on new designs this week, picked up a few things Friday at the "Down the Street Bead Show" going on here in Tampa, and now I just need the time to photograph, price, and put all of the new stuff up on my website. There's never enough hours in the day.

Missy has decided that she wants to be my "helper" this afternoon. She's making it kind of hard to get any jewelry designing done. Nothing like a Fat Cat to make you stop and smile.

We chatted with Mary!

My friend Christina and I went over to Orlando to the Craft & Hobby Association show on Saturday. We saw Mary Englebreit's slideshow presentation, she autographed some items for us, we chatted with Mary, and we took pictures. We were very happy "Cherry Chicks" when we left.

After the CHA show we went over to the beautiful Peabody Hotel and had some lunch at the B-Line Diner. Cool place, awesome food, and lovely wait staff.

And THEN.....we had Dessert! So yummy!
