A New Mary Engelbreit Collection

 

I'm happy to be able to share that next week Mary Engelbreit Studios will be offering a new collection of Cherry Chick Jewelry.  Yepper.....looks like they sold a few things and they've asked me to come up with some more cuteness.  I, of course, was happy to offer up 17 new designs to add to the limited edition collection that is being sold on Mary's website.  So keep a look out next week for the darling Cottage Rose Pendant pictured above along with some matching extra cute Cottage Rose earrings that will be available here. 

I have a few new designs available for sale in my Artfire.com store.  The "Aqua Swirl" earrings pictured above are the most wonderful shade of blue. Here

While poking around Pinterest this week I came up with an idea for beaded ribbon bookmarks.  Here's the Cherry version. Here

Here's the Flower version of my new beaded ribbon bookmarks. Here

That's enough cuteness for today. But if you're inclined to want to see more peek over to the right in my Artfire.com storefront.

I'm happy to share a nice collection of items that my Autumn earrings were recently featured in.

Be the Queen Bee

I have a few new designs available this week.  There seems to be so many Bee fans in my group of friends that I decided to create this pendant necklace "Queen Bee".  

If you look closely at the artisan crafted glass lampwork bee hive you'll see that that the Queen Bee has her own little Baby Bee.

A Lovely Day of Tea

A few months ago my neighbor & friend, Paddy, and I went to a wonderful tea room about 45 minutes out of Tampa.  It's located in Plant City and is called the Camellia Rose Tea Room & Boutique.  Paddy loves to explore different tea rooms and it was her Birthday so we headed out one fine morning to go check us this new location for us.  

Camellia's has received great reviews on The Tea Map website. It's located in a quaint little town with little shops to explore close by.  There is a charming gift shop in the front of this historic old building with the tea area elegantly decorated farther in the back past the shopping area.

We had cute little heart shaped cucumber sandwiches.  Floral designs were everywhere including mismatched serving ware and tea cups.

The top tier of our plate stand was filled with delicious dessert treats.  I had my first French macaroon ever! OMG...I've been missing out!  They, also, had these lovely little Swan cream puffs made from puff pastry.  They were as fabulous as they looked.

The second tier was where the yummy finger sandwiches awaited us.  Each one just as awesome as the next.  The Heart shaped cream cheese and cucumber with dill was my favorite.

Located on the bottom tier was this wonderful Pineapple, Macadamia Nut, and Almond flavored scone.  Of course, clotted cream was served along side these amazing pastries. 

Our server was just wonderful and very attentive to our needs.  She even brought out a special "Birthday" ice cream for Paddy but she was too stuffed to eat anything more.

Once we finished up our tea and lunch we did a little exploring.  We found this whole other side that looks like it is set up for parties and private events.  

I thought is was even more charming than the area we had been seated in.  Mostly because I am a "Pink" girl.  This is definitely the Pink Frilly side.

 What a wonderful location to have a bridal shower or baby shower.

Don't you just Love the heart shape cut outs on these darling wooden chairs?

 Even the Powder Room was decorated! Too Cute!  So if you ever get to my neck of the woods call me....we'll do lunch at Camellia Rose Tea Room.  I'd love to go back there.  Here's the link to their website if you want to check it out.
