This is Charlotte aka Charlie. She hates her name and hates dressin' up 'cause she's a long tall drink o' water and frilly petticoats are for sissies. She'd rather be out climbin' a tree with the boys but she promised her mom she'd go to the dumb ole' tea party to keep the peace with those fussy girls next door, Penelope, Blossom and Bea. (What kinda respectable girl has a name like "Blossom" anyhow?) She wasn't gonna carry no flowers either! One on the hat was bad enough. The ones on the wallpaper are gonna have to do.
Anyways, Charlie agreed to wear a dress and a riduculous hat that her mom dug out of some ole' stinky closet but she no way was giving up her red tennis shoes. No way!

That's a smart way of bringing some flowers along this week! Love those buttons, too. I'm with Charlotte on the tree-climbing, but I didn't mind pretty dresses either .

OMG! Hey there girl! So good to see you here! Sorry I went to bed in the middle of the teaparty! Sometimes I do that! I know.... I know.... I am working on that little problem! Tea Hee!
Hey, I can totally relate to Charlie here! That was me growing up! Always riding horses with dad, playing baseball and football with the boys in the neighborhood and poo whooing my sisters who were wantin' to bake cookies! Giggle!
What a precious image and card! If I had red tennies like those I would sleep in them!!!! I love the flowers and that hat! Well, it mighta been dug out of a closet, but hey, it's looking quite good in the antique shop! Snort! Lovely little card!
Ooh.....gotta go......Spit and Spat, the cats are at it early this morning! Oh those two!!!

I love this image. Her expression says it all. And your background & embellishments remind me of days long long ago spent playing in my grandma's sewing room.
