Toile Apron and Tea Towel-Very First Give Away

 Blue toile and blue transferware are some of my favorite combinations.....
I enjoy mixing them on our sideboard.

I have been wanting to do a give away,

 but was really afraid....

What do I offer as a give away?

What if I do a give away

 and no one responds?

Well....here goes!

For my very first give away....

 I made a toile apron and tea towel!

I hope you like them!

The pattern for the apron is based on a

 vintage apron that I found at a flea market.

It is lined.....

the waistband and hem are scalloped 

and curvy....

Found the sweetest buttons

 to embellish the curvy little pockets....

The tea towel is lined....

and has a sweet 5 inch ruffle.....

Thank you....in advance to any one that enters....

you are so kind! 

If you would care to enter my absolutely,

 very first give away....

Hope you have an awesome week!
Blessings, Audrey

A Little Bird Told Me

A Little Blue Bird told me!

Well...truth be told, it was actually a little bluebird teapot  told me...

 " You have GOT to take me home with you!"

 Of course I agreed! After all who could possibly resist the cuteness of this little guy.

See him sitting there in all his glory on top of that gorgeous grey cabbage.

Now ....

you tell me....

could you have said,

 "NO, I won't take you home with me!"

I didn't think so.

Thankfully he didn't cost very much!

Does this ever happen to you? 

Happens to me quite a lot!

So, if you see a short lady having a conversation with a teapot....

or numerous other things I tend to collect.....

it's ok....

don't even bother to try to intervene!

Haha....it's just me talkin' to the bluebird!

There is a special party that is being hosted by the lady that has helped many newbie bloggers get their start in blogdom.

 Debbie at Debbiedoos is throwing a Newbie Party Reunion.

I had not a clue about how to blog....just jumped in with all my ignorance.....until Kathleen at Charm Bracelet Diva told me about

Debbie's Newbie Party.

 I still have much to learn, but it helped meeting other folks that were leaning, too!

Thank you, Debbie..... for your amazing help.

May you have a blessed week!

Audrey

 will be linking to these fun parties.
