Tea cures everything! Any problem always looks brighter after a bracing cup of tea. With this in mind I have been experimenting with some tea inspired projects this week.
After seeing these clever tea cards , I created some of my own to send to friends. I included this sweet verse inside –
“May you always have walls for the winds,
a roof for the rain, tea beside the fire,
laughter to cheer you, those you love near you
and all your heart might desire.”
Irish Blessing
I also constructed some in a “match book” style – I think these would be fun to have at an afternoon tea.
They match some invitations I have been making for a Special Birthday Celebration
Check this out – Kelly O has made some fabulous Tea Towel aprons!
Thanks to Laura from A World in a Pan for a Blog Award. Laura’s blog is a gourmet feast!
The school holidays are whizzing by and we have been finding fun in simple things like family board games, movies, and catching up with friends. I have been staying away from the computer and having a bit of a blogging break – I hope to back to normal in a couple of weeks.
Anyway I have to go – hopefully my kids will let me win this round!

I adore these! I was thinking about designing something similar for Christmas as a little download and print freebie that you can make up for office mates and far away friends! I think I like this even better than what I had in mind! Thanks for sharing!
Great cards and love that game, still have it from when I was young.. Will have to get it out and play soon.

Tea really does make things brighter, and for me it led to a new romance. Loving the cards
tea is such comfort, warmth and relaxation for me…looks like you got lots of good things going…here’s hoping you can win a little now too.
LOVE these cards, Lisa… I love tea time cards, they do cheer so much. The taking of tea has always been a highlight of the day. Glad you’re all having a terrific time during the holidays–enjoy! :o) ((HUGS))

These are so pretty, I’m such a huge fan of tea too!
Your tea cards are so pretty! And I really like that Irish blessing. I only started drinking tea recently and have a special kind that I drink every day– it’s a blend of green, chamomile and mint. With graham crackers it is delicious. Hope you are enjoying your blogging break (but I also hope you come back soon).
OHH I love them!! Love the Aqua one!! Very pretty!!
