Tuesdays have been my favorite day for over a year now, because I enjoyed Cindy's teaparties. Last week and this week, I have been dreading them, because I miss Cindy and the other ladies. Last Tuesday I had a pm from Cindy saying that she wouldn't mind if I continued to host the teaparties until she returned. It is hard to get in a teaparty mood, but I am going to try.
I don't have the collection of teapots that Cindy does, but I searched online and found this cute little fall teapot. I think this week I am going to host a country fall teaparty. If you get here early, there is going to be a hayride. If drinking tea isn't your thing, I am going to have hot spiced apple cider. No fancy attire required.
I couldn't bring myself to call it MMTPT so the keyword that you can use is MMMY1 which stands for Mother Mark Miss You!!!

Hey Hey ...Love you for filling in, and love the teapot you chose. I am off to work, but hope to play in the hay later. ( I said PLAY in the HAY< not roll in the hay, what are you thinking!)
My morning tea was sad today because I am usually looking at Cindy's site and planning my response. So it is nice to have a hot cup of cider to look forward to this evening.

What a gal you are! There are so many of us going into withdrawal today and now you have came to our rescue. Cindy will be so proud of you!
I love this fall theme you chose today as it it kind of cold outside right now. Here I sit with the window wide open, blanket wrapped around my knees and socks on...plus the regular clothes, shorts and top, paying bills. Yay! Anyway, now I have something to do today that will be way more fun!
Love your leaf card MariLynn. Awesome brayering job. I am so going to have to learn how to do that. Plus all this AND a hay ride. That one sure brings back some memories of old! Looking forward to that hot apple cider too. Well, I am off to the grocery store, will be back soon. Fun Tuesday is back. TFS :0)

Leaves are one of my favorite images, and fall is my favorite season, so I'll join in later today or tomorrow.

Oh my dear and kind friend! I was thinking along those lines last week but couldn't get myself to suggest it, as I know it is quite a responsibility for the hostess. How gracious that you have thought about continuing until our sweet Cindy gets back. It's all in your honour my friend, and I applaud your kind and soft way of introducing it.
I love your card MariLynn, you have such a clever mind, eraser pencil for dots...so cooool. I will be coming back for sure for the hayride and apple cider...is it spiked! LOL

MariLynn, you are the most thoughtful gal I know! How kind of you to continue until Cindy returns to our Tea Party. I'll be posting one for the hayride later.
