It is all about A May Day Tea...




The month of May is a perfect time to celebrate
and I could not think of a better way
than to have a spot of tea.
And while we are at it,

let’s make it a pink party.
Perfect for May Day,
Mother’s Day, Birthdays or just because
I feel like a Tea day….




Make your guest feel special by wrapping
each invitation in a pretty paper doily.
Idea from Martha Stewart .



A Pink Buds Fashionista Bracelet would be
a lovely party favor
Or party craft…

It is all about recycling beautifully…


Vintage music sheets, a few old books, a bit of lace
and a few old frames can be turned
into beautiful accessories for your home.

into a lovely vase...
A great gift to makefor yourself,
for a favorite teacher,
for a first year wedding
anniversary.


Turn old frames into a
charming Terrarium...

Star are not just for Christmas...

Make a few for your studio and

a Happy Birthday,
or add a quote and send to someone
to say I am thinking of you.....

Old music sheets and a few coffee
filters become stunning roses to display
in your home..

I just read Lanie's Real Adventure
(an American Girl) and thought
that it would be fun to have
a day full of butterflies...

made from mostly recycled things…

Try doing this in a smaller
size for  Lanie
(the American girl doll of the year)
or for any favorite doll.





















Here is a pretty butterfly mobile made
from a few simple supplies.
This fun idea is from
Better Homes and Gardens....
