Twyla on Tuesday


Hello Ladies!
It was quite a busy weekend!
I did manage to get in some treasure
hunting and found three more small pottery
vases to add to my collection.




This is a Little Boy Blue that I found awhile back.
I think he is so cute.





We participated in the Mad Hatter Tea Party hosted by Vanessa of
A Fanciful Twist.  It is always so much fun to
plan our own tea party and then go around and visit the
others.  We had a giveaway on that post and
we will announce a winner this Thursday.
If you haven't attended our party yet,
you can see the post directly below this one.



It was such a timely surprise to find this sweet little
Alice in Wonderland figurine this weekend!
She is by Disney and was issued in 1960.
You can be sure to be part of the festivities next year!





For the first time, I painted a picture for the tea party.
It is Alice falling down the rabbit hole.
I am not a great painter, but
I am having so much fun painting again.
I stopped for awhile, but now that is all I
want to do!


I am sharing this July 4th postcard.
It is one of my favorites in my collection.
Just look at those colors!
It is dated 1912.

I want to remind everyone of the ATC bloghop
that we are hosting this Friday, July 1st.





All you have to do is create a 2 1/2" X 3 1/2"
card with a patriotic theme.
You will then link it to our blog Friday.
We will have the link up at midnight.
We hope you all can join us to
celebrate our country and appreciate
everyone's art.
We'll also have a giveaway!

Thanks for stopping by today!
Have a wonderful week!
Twyla
