Making a tea T-shirt




I had some really fun dresses and clothes from when I was a baby in the 70's.  My mom found a box of some of my baby clothes in the attic.  I decided to take those fun colorful clothes and make a "tea" t-shirt with them.  And I have to say it turned out wonderful, I love it!!


I had alphabet 4" traceable letters.  I also then used stitch witchery iron on sheets. 
I ironed on the stitch witchery to the back of the material.  I traced the letters on the paper and then cut them out.


I placed the letters where I wanted them on the shirt and then ironed it on.


I found these 3 cups that I liked.  I blew them up on a copier.  Cut them out, as three teacups.  I then ironed on the stich witchery to the material, traced the design and cut them out. 


I laid the teacups where I wanted those and then ironed them on the shirt.


I wanted to be sure they really stayed on the shirt, so I then decided to sew around each letter with the sewing machine.




It was really easy to do.  The entire shirt took me less than 2 hours to make.




I love it!  I plan on playing more with vintage clothes and making fun clothes.

Fun in Holmes Co, tea at Ginger House and books at Faith View Books


I discovered a super fun bookstore.  My friend told me to check out this bookstore, and I am so glad I went there.  It was really fun.

I visited Faith View Books just outside of Mt Hope.

 Does that not look like a heart in the sky??

This great bookstore also has a coffee and tea set up for free.  So, while I browsed, I was able to sip some tea too.


This bookstore not only has lots of Christian books, but also toys, clothes, and many fun gifts.


This is a hidden gem I will return too for sure!


I then traveled down to Berlin to do some shopping and lunch.  I went to one of my favorite place, GH, Ginger House.

I had a wonderful avocado bagel sandwich.  Ginger House has a really nice selection of food and drinks.  They also have a lot of seating...if you can't find seating in the front room, they have another large room in the back.  This really is my favorite place to eat in Berlin.

Blend of Grace at Grace and Joy Company

 

A Wednesday Wandering took me just passed Kidron Ohio to Fredericksburg.  I visited Grace and Joy boutique and enjoyed some great tea from Blend of Grace.



Tucked in beside a bicycle shop is this adorable boutique with fun clothes, mugs, candles, and more.  And then on some lucky days Blend of Grace is there selling coffee and tea.

Since the weather was not great, they were serving inside, but if the weather is nice, they are outside in the trailer.

I was shocked too that she knew my name!  I had to chuckle that my girl friends and I do visit on occasion from work, yet, I did not think it was that often, lol!
But, that is customer service at it's finest right there!!


I ordered the Strawberry Cheesecake Matcha- that totally had the cheesecake taste going on!
I also then got the Raspberry Iced Chai.


The raspberry iced chai was really good- and how cute are the straws they had!!  They really do have all these adorable touches that they add to these drinks.


The strawberry cheesecake matcha had freeze dried strawberries on top that was really a great touch.


I am a HUGE fan on Blend of Grace and I am super sad that this will be their last year.  I am thrilled that both ladies are pregnant, but sad that they are selling the truck.  It sure temps me to buy it, lol!

Spring Tea at LincWay in Dalton



I had a really fun tea at LincWay the day before Easter.

I love working with LincWay, if they don't have anyone the day before my tea, they let me come in early and set up.  It is so wonderful to have it done that night before.



I added some spring flowers to the table along with some bunnies.
Everyone got a fun purple butterfly straw too.
As always I give a tasting menu - I don't sell the teas, so I want people to know where they can get the tea if they like them.  I also want them to know what is in the tea if they have any allergies. 

This time I also put a tasting notes page out for everyone too.  This way they could rate the teas they drank.






I have a new banner too...Which can be a fun backdrop for photos.



When I got home I colored eggs with tea for the tables as well.
I wanted to show people that you could color Easter eggs with tea and the fun looks you can create.


I used an herbal berries tea, a black assam tea, and a matcha.
I liked the vintage look they gave me.



The morning of the tea...



I like to make my iced tea concentrate the night before.  I also like to freeze some of the tea as the ice in the tea.  This way the tea is not diluted.



I did an Irish Breakfast tea and then did cold foam with vanilla for everyone so they could try a "Dublin Fog"


I had Harney & Sons, Celebration tea.


My green tea was Bangkok.


Then I did an herbal for those trying to avoid caffeine. 


I had around 22 sign up for the tea.  It was a lot of fun.






I also brought edible butterflies to add to the cold foam.









Lincway does a excellent job with the food.  A fun variety of items.


I did a cold foam option for the Purple Palmer as well.  Then added lavender vanilla sugar on top.  It was really tasty.



I have to say I loved the butterfly straw!!!





After we were done eating, or while we were finishing up, we each got to select a mug and paint it.





Painting......





These little girls were big fans of the butterfly pea tea...aka, Purple Palmer.
The one gal claimed to have over 6 cups, lol.



We are to give 3 coats to our pottery.  



I love the way these turned out!!!  Bright and cheery.
They fire the items and then in a week we can pick up our pieces.  It really is fun and easy to do.



Check out LincWay for your next event, https://lincway.us/

Let me know if you want me to come and do a tea for your next event!

 



Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters,
