Sugar and Spice...

...and tea cups and cheese boxes...
that's what this girl is made of.



I have a small collection of both 
that I feel will be making their blog debut within the next few weeks.


It is so brown outside...
and all that is inspiring to me right now are blooms
purchased from the store.


High of 9 today.
Brisk!


I have a few tiny teas that I inherited...
they are Japanese and quite delicate.


My cheese boxes are more rustic...
averaging just a few dollars at any local thrift and find.
This one Dan got me for Mother's Day
and I think he said it was four dollars.
That's about the average price.


I love the vintage graphics on them
and I use them in the kitchen to organize odds and ends,
like bills on the microwave or bracelets (when I am washing dishes).

 But today, she looks good with some pinks.

Toodles, and see you at Linda's

    Andrea,
    I know what you mean about blooms right now. I was just saying that I wanted to get some yellow roses at the store to brighten the house up a bit. These pictures are so pretty, and I love the tea cup. I can't believe it's that cold there Brrrr. Have a good week.

    The tea cup and roses are a lovely combination with the cheese box. We didn't get above zero today!
