Okay, I haven't even visited this blog for a year! Well over a year. I am now blogging at <a href="http://mylittlechouchou.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">My Little Chou Chou </a>and have combined my love for tea parties, my booth, craft fairs and everything else in to one blog. It's easier that way. I'm decluttering everything in my life including this. So feel free to look around here but for new posts please visit me at the link above. God Bless and thanks for visiting. </div>

I've been busy, busy, busy. Who isn't this time of year? My daughter and I just did a craft fair. I haven't done one in a couple of years so I was kind of out of the swing of things. But I want to show you some pics of how it looked. <br />

I am so excited! The first week I sold a couple of things and already have a check. It's a small space but I took what I could get. I'll see how things go for the next few months and if need be I will get on the waiting list for a bigger space. Come visit me, vendor C21, at American Classics in Colorado Springs. <br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">This is just a part of some old kitchen utensils that I have displayed in my <br />
kitchen. I've picked them up at yard sales, estate sales, antique stores <br />
and some were given to me. Kind of fun, especially the shadow box <br />
with the old recipes and labels in it. <br />

I've been looking for a tea cart and I found this one for $10.00. I like embroidered pillows and this one matches the blue in my room. And I have a plan for the white tablecloth that does not involve a table. I will show you later after I do it and take pictures. The teapot is beeauuutiful! I wish it had cups to go with it. I spent less than $20.00 for all of it.<br />

I don't know how old it is...in my research I got very sidetracked looking at other stuff. It still works and although it probably won't "blow" you away as my title suggests, I still thought it was a catchy title for a hair dryer. It has two settings, cold and hot and its heavy. My husband got it from his mom before we were married (27 years ago). I'm guessing it's from the 50's, based on finding something similar on ebay.

It's tattered and worn, but that's the way bibles should be right? See the printing year? 1865. It's romantic to think where this bible has been and what it's gone though. If bibles could talk I wonder what it would say? There is a portion of a sermon from D.L. Moody glued in the front. Did this old bible go to tent meetings? I wonder. Did it travel with someone on a wagon train? Who knows.

It bugs me. I complain that I just don't have time then just looking at the unfinished project makes me feel guilty. I've found that if I just take the time to work on the project even for just 20 - 30 minutes, I can get it done. And I feel good about it. Even if I don't finish in that time at least I've made progress. I can find the time, I might do it in front of the TV, or using a little self-discipline, don't allow myself computer time until I've worked on it. So with that, today I am starting a weekly post about something that I've put off and have now put on again. Join me if you like and tell me about it. I can share your link with others so they can see you getting with it too. Please leave a link to this blog on your post.<br />
<br />
Here is my first "getting with it" project. I had started recovering my dining room chairs last June and got side tracked, some good reasons, some not. Doesn't matter. They were wearing thin, I few years ago I fell in love with some tablecloths I found at Walmart and recovered my chairs with them! I really liked how it looked with the wood. But, tablecloths are not meant to stand up to the wear and tear that my dining room chairs receive. So I had 5 of eight chairs recovered with new material <br />

Now I am not a professional but I think they turned out beautiful. Just don't look underneath! This upholstery fabric I picked up at a yard sale for I think $10.00. What a deal! <br />

It was cold and blowing snow outside and chocolate was calling me. The only chocolate I had here was the Swiss Miss Dark Chocolate mix and it was good. It warmed me up while I poored over the pages of the latest issue of Romantic Homes Magazine. I love when this one comes in the mail (along with my two other favorites Tea Time and Victoria.) I fix myself a cup of tea (usually) and have a nice break looking through my favorite magazines. Good thing for me, and my family, that they don't all come on the same day or dinner would be very late! My tea cup survived and is now washed and ready for tomorrow afternoon's ritual of tea. Maybe I'll have to pick up some chocolate on the way home from work?

<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I found this beautiful black cup in a little antique store at the market in Seattle. I was there for a short visit and loved it. The trip was topped off with this find. I had never seen a black teacup before. If anyone is looking at my blog and knows anything about this pattern, please let me know. I would love to find more. </div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbF9kooD86iGludCleBajOnzAgoXTxrVJhJL7Kskf2Dxf2bIMXYHSl-pdUS1n5_36NSt0Qwnp0UKB2Qpl9GrT_dfVsSxUO8ObVRTR9ROgee9i0hAxqYbUYnPgR-C7d_9FmGtXjttRSgprD/s1600-h/P1070073.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" ps="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbF9kooD86iGludCleBajOnzAgoXTxrVJhJL7Kskf2Dxf2bIMXYHSl-pdUS1n5_36NSt0Qwnp0UKB2Qpl9GrT_dfVsSxUO8ObVRTR9ROgee9i0hAxqYbUYnPgR-C7d_9FmGtXjttRSgprD/s320/P1070073.JPG" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiETahQBoaUtej-jKwP7PbHh7ZRW-2ZH5zxPKhlwZWLF7kzM46fmCJBXHZh_xMool-38-RgqRzRheLxIGBbFgpL6B3nKz6qx_t9IGWA6JqZi1oEW1_FZEowXdSPAo8V-4FuLidLNY4K3DUx/s1600-h/P1070074.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" ps="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiETahQBoaUtej-jKwP7PbHh7ZRW-2ZH5zxPKhlwZWLF7kzM46fmCJBXHZh_xMool-38-RgqRzRheLxIGBbFgpL6B3nKz6qx_t9IGWA6JqZi1oEW1_FZEowXdSPAo8V-4FuLidLNY4K3DUx/s320/P1070074.JPG" /></a></div>Jocelynehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14966510839113584099noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7809029873964519967.post-4363462495789787552010-01-11T16:26:00.000-08:002010-01-11T18:39:13.927-08:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEistbnghuN9Jf7i0De8DsYFOcEzZ-C9P2PnaXHSRdCnv68pcrI6rfrWf7WihguiS9GCbaWCPNNP8-AyqhEG4J_ZWBuHSg2knPc9Fmqxk6p-vsIcYP7BKl04QBKEbx2XPGfo_gbOIIV0FLEd/s1600-h/P1110077.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ps="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEistbnghuN9Jf7i0De8DsYFOcEzZ-C9P2PnaXHSRdCnv68pcrI6rfrWf7WihguiS9GCbaWCPNNP8-AyqhEG4J_ZWBuHSg2knPc9Fmqxk6p-vsIcYP7BKl04QBKEbx2XPGfo_gbOIIV0FLEd/s320/P1110077.JPG" /></a><br />
</div>I went to Bernideen's today during my lunch to spend a gift certificate that my dh gave to me for Christmas. It took 3 visits for me to decide. There are soooo many things to ohhh and ahhh over that I had a hard time choosing. Anyway, I finally decided on some tea accessories (see the tea sponge on the left?) The bird almost matches the pot perfectly. The tea set was purchased at Bernideen's last year, and come to think of it, so was the miniature in front, a couple of years ago. I also purchased a book, "A little book of manners", a tea strainer and a spoon with a teacup on it. It is such a fun store. <br />

</div>I've finally put the last of the Christmas decorations away and have begun the valentine transformation. These beautiful pink cups from the Czech Republic were given to me several years ago by a very dear friend who went to preach a revival in our church there. These I've not actually used. I'm a little afraid to chip them. I think I'd better get over that and go ahead and use them, just once, at least. Hmmm, I could have strawberry tea in one of these. <br />

I, too, like the down time between Christmas and New Year. I've already read a book, a short story titled "The sound of sleighbells", I've done some after Christmas shopping (picked up a 36" lighted wreath to decorate for under $20.00) and the usual wrapping paper, bows and tags. Being inspired by my youngest DD, have decided to do one new craft a month this year, in hopes of being ready for the fall craft fairs. I have just purchased, on line, the newest Gooseberry Patch Christmas Craft book at just $10.00! Before Christmas it was $28.00! Yay! I love a good deal. And my new calendars are hung and ready for use. I don't know why but I really like new calendars, the fresh unmarked pages, the inspiration for organization I guess. The refrigerator calendar is one with big squares to accomodate everyones schedules, hanging on my office wall is a new Mary Englebreit (this one is just to look at - really.) And I have my new inserts for my franklin covey planner. This one I will use for everything - home and work. I love it. I've actually already started filling up January with work stuff. ugh. I'd much rather be home, blogging, crafting, reading, and having tea. Which brings me to my other challenge of hosting one tea party every 4 to 6 weeks this year. One for my friends, one for my neighbors, one for my sisters, you get it. This will tie in with my new business venture Jocelyne's Tea Parties. So here's to a fun and prosperous New Year!</div>Jocelynehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14966510839113584099noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7809029873964519967.post-70465616363465727202009-12-17T21:21:00.000-08:002009-12-17T21:35:23.990-08:00Blessed by Carolers at my door!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht1OBg-DrpCXSnxzX0l7VUvu550O9pflCOw9HC1Y2lZi9HwOEmSbm6TjWj7B5LC2ut5xgisHJHAVyQhISneUMemoRX9UPyxpZYEkXrda3TCXA3-Ubd1I3j6lr6UpGJ75xiQXylsfMLcLw3/s1600-h/8874788_420x300_mb_art_R0.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 264px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 238px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5416442706276560578" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht1OBg-DrpCXSnxzX0l7VUvu550O9pflCOw9HC1Y2lZi9HwOEmSbm6TjWj7B5LC2ut5xgisHJHAVyQhISneUMemoRX9UPyxpZYEkXrda3TCXA3-Ubd1I3j6lr6UpGJ75xiQXylsfMLcLw3/s320/8874788_420x300_mb_art_R0.jpg" /></a> This week has been long and hard and included a funeral for a dear old aunt. In the midst of preparing for a short road trip, addressing christmas cards and preparing gift baskets our doorbell rang and when we answered we were met with a wonderful surprise and blessing as our neighbors and a group of their friends sang Christmas carols to us, telling us of the love of God! It brought tears to my eyes. That is the first time in my life that Carolers have come to my door! My children have gone out caroling as a part of their youth group and I've always wanted to go myself, just didn't have anyone willing to go with me. Maybe next year we can arrange for our bible study group to go caroling and then come in for hot cider or cocoa. Fun thing to do that could really touch hearts ~ it touched mine. <br /><div></div>Jocelynehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14966510839113584099noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7809029873964519967.post-92185030941044783852009-12-08T09:24:00.000-08:002009-12-08T09:37:25.599-08:00It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd7k6Su_wYWe-OWXXL-xhyqeWPLyPXc-SygUNN7cPrIA64goYsgVIO5ZuVnqPKuuew5fuStIsybT4bAUM5lHCMdQLPwAmeaQNj7nsb3y2-tQ-XL_xWuyeh5s3HEn7qPFbrhFJY59S0aabW/s1600-h/PC070072.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412918604114737954" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd7k6Su_wYWe-OWXXL-xhyqeWPLyPXc-SygUNN7cPrIA64goYsgVIO5ZuVnqPKuuew5fuStIsybT4bAUM5lHCMdQLPwAmeaQNj7nsb3y2-tQ-XL_xWuyeh5s3HEn7qPFbrhFJY59S0aabW/s320/PC070072.JPG" /></a>I made these stockings over 10 years ago, I still love them.

<div>My friends and sisters look at me with wide eyes when I tell them, "pick a cup" while I put the kettle on. They think all these beautiful cups are just for looking at. To me, if you can't use them, why have them? My daughters will go directly to their favorite and a few of my friends will too. Others, say, "you choose for me." I guess they are a little afraid, I don't know. It's a conversation starter, as if we needed one, for me to be able to tell them where the cup in their hand came from. While I might be saddened for a moment if one should break, I would quickly get over it. After all I can't take it with me when I go but I can receive the joy it was meant to bring while I am here. Oh I'm so corny.</div></div></div>Jocelynehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14966510839113584099noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7809029873964519967.post-30016035633934931902009-11-17T20:20:00.000-08:002009-11-18T20:30:08.157-08:00My first one<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYyGOkTYous84bbENiGGEzfqwHN1hlyqZmlmXBZNKNGbIo8UJZGumimuJrswvmzwzMNcFNhRfdPLl5mQ-A2sNmCjTuhfYIMOJ3UpLB1HacC6u9L-XDaaEmecd4FFumUuo7srtIZtd2c4U-/s1600/PB180054.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405666106234807698" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYyGOkTYous84bbENiGGEzfqwHN1hlyqZmlmXBZNKNGbIo8UJZGumimuJrswvmzwzMNcFNhRfdPLl5mQ-A2sNmCjTuhfYIMOJ3UpLB1HacC6u9L-XDaaEmecd4FFumUuo7srtIZtd2c4U-/s320/PB180054.JPG" /></a><br /><div>A long time ago my husband and I shared our first Christmas together in the upstairs apartment of an old house on Pikes Peak and 18th on the city's west side. I wanted a set of beautiful dishes for Christmas, but knew we could not afford it. My dear sweet husband thought we could and bought me a box of beautiful dishes. The box said "5 piece setting", he figured that was enough for the two of us plus company. To this day I smile when I think on it and he gets a little flush. I took the tea cup from that setting and used it for my tea. That tea cup was the beginning of a beautiful collection of mix and match cups and saucers, teapots, little spoons, tea bag holders, tea sets and other tea accessories that I've picked up here and there or received as gifts from loved ones, especially my dear. </div>Jocelynehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14966510839113584099noreply@blogger.com0
