Ever since starting my blog, I have always hoped and dreamed about having a tea party with all of my blog friends. How fun would it be to sit down together and let our creative minds converge. Imagine the conversations we would have! Well, I’ve decided on the next best thing…EVERYONE is invited..spread the word!Spring Fling (virtual) Tea Party
at ArtsyMama’s “house”
Wednesday, March 21st
This is how it will work. On Wednesday the 21st, nine days from now, around 9 am CST I will post here, signaling the beginning of the party, here on my blog! Show up whenever you can, whatever time zone you’re in. This allows for everyone to stop by at some point that day. If you want to come (and please do, the more the merrier!) all you have to do is post something tea related on your blog on THAT DAY. If you don’t have a blog, send me the post and I’ll post it here. Ideas for your post include anything you might contribute to the party (food, tea, cups, teapots, etc.), you in your party outfit, a tea related collection or art, or a story about your favorite tea drinking experience. Once you’ve posted, please leave me a comment on that day and I will then add a link to your site on my tea party post. Then other participants can visit your blog, you'll meet lots of new friends and the party will be smashing!
After the huge score I got yesterday (see last post) on vintage china, I will have plenty for you all to join me. I will have lots of treats and plenty of eye candy! You can wander around my house and take a look at all the amazing spring swap goodies I've been recieving. We may even do a spring craft together. You’ll just have to show up HERE and see!
Will you join me to usher in the new season with some tea and festivities? Hope so! When you comment here, please let me know what country (and state, if applicable) you are in so we can see how far everyone is "traveling". Thanks:)
ohhhh....how fun !!!
ReplyDeleteThat's the day I start packing for our spring break vacation, but I'll make time to sit a spell and have a spot of tea with you !!!
