Please join me for T at my dining room table.
and completely overlooked my own. I'm sure we all know who lives near Boston, MA, don't we? Of course, it's our dear CJ.
Upon opening the envelope, this is what I discovered. Although you can't see it in the photo, I accidentally sliced through the postage stamp when I opened the envie. Look at all these wonderful goodies CJ sent me. Her calligraphy makes my heart pitter patter. My name has never looked so beautiful. I also love how Squiggles and Bleubeard are sitting on my initial. Such a lovely painting and drawing. Did anyone notice how CJ drew Squiggles with his white paws? I did!
I loved the way CJ got the anniversary year 8 in the post and how she used it. Those eight kittens in the tea cups are incredibly adorable. SO clever. Note the cute stamp holding the envie in place is a reference to a drink, as are the tea cups.
I wanted to share what I sent to everyone whose name I drew. Each person received one sheet of handmade paper and two vintage postcards from my stash.
I also purchased these coffee related postage stamps, which I used to send to everyone. I still haven't heard from two of my International players whether they have received their ATCs or not.
It's now time to share your own drink inspired post this week. It can be
gifts you received, photos, a place you visited, movies, postcards, mail
art, junk mail, catalogs, books, sketches, mixed
media, drawings, paintings, tags, scrapbooking, or other art that is
digital, hybrid, or traditional, as long as it in some way relates back
to a drink, any drink. Regardless,
please share below and Bleubeard and I, along with the rest of the T
gang will be by to visit. Please link only your T post and not your
blog in general. Bleubeard would like to remind you that old photos are acceptable because they may be taken
any time, not just on Tuesday and most assuredly not just this year.

Wonderful gifts and ATC from CJ, enjoy! Happy T Day and have a wonderful week, hugs, Valerie
Oh I do love this blog post. So many beautiful things. Of course I particularly like the stamps. Stamps with coffee! Wow! Just up your street!
The ATC is very cleverly designed. And i love the Calligraphy letter E. (with the cats, brilliant)
Now I'm wondering what the green drink is.... Mint cordial?
Happy T-Day,
Lisca
Lovely gifts! I especially like the "E" with the cats. Very creative of CJ.
Happy Tea Day,

what lovely happy mail form CJ. I love the calligraphy design and how Bleubeard and Squiggles were incorporated! That postage is festive and so colorful- too bad you sliced through it...
and the coffee postage stamps are fabulous!!! I had no idea these designs were out there. Your handmade paper is special indeed. Hope the international recipients get their happy mail from you. happy T day!
Wonderful ATC and goodies - I have one of those ATCs so I know how darn cute it is! I wish we could all swap ATCs as I am VERY fond of them. I just purchased an album to keep them in - told you I am addicted. It is all your fault too - LOL! Happy T-day! HUgz
That's wonderful happy mail from CJ. From the postmark I guessed it was her or Nan, but if I had seen the beautiful calligraphy I would known it was CJ. TI love the kitties in the cups. Those coffee stamps are pretty cool that you found. I haven't seen them. Next time I go to the PO I need to look because they would be great for art. Hope August is going well and you have a wonderful T day too. Hugs-Erika
So pretty. Love CJ’s calligraphy
I'm so glad you enjoyed the package and that you were able to recognize your boys on the bookmark. Thank you for making Tuesday a day to look forward to. Happy T Day.
Wow, that is very, very beautiful art you received there!! So cute and clever!
And the postage stamp, cute!
You’ve received some gorgeous ATCs, so cute with your initial and your boys, I love the coffee postage stamps, we’ve made our own stamps when we’ve been in SF, I think it’s only in the USA that you are allowed to do it.
