Some of my crafty friends/family thought we would celebrate the August birthdays with some High Tea this past weekend. Of course, we live in Alabama so it is probably a lot more Alabama High Tea than English High Tea, but it was lovely, delicious, and super fun. Even my Uncle sat with us and asked when we could do it again. High compliment for sure.
I wasn't super productive this last week as I was still mending from the strep throat and ear infections, but I did get a bit of art done.
The art was sketched and painted using the wet on damp technique. Unfortunately, I also practiced the wet on dry and wet on wet too. I still like how it came out. If you are interested in learning the technique, Here is a great quick tutorial.
This year, I am sending lots of Christmas cards to make up for my few years of being lazy so I am trying to make lots of them now.
Happy T-day and tons of hugz. Time is valuable, and I appreciate you spending some of yours with me.
Hugz,
Nancy
Your high tea looks just lovely. The menu of sandwiches, etc. is really tempting. I think anyone would love it.

It looks like a high tea to me, dear Nancy. Loved the way you set it up. Similar to the ones at a traditional British high tea. Looks very interesting and fun, too.
