This week's Teapot Challenge is taking us to Kentucky a little ahead of the derby. Who knows what we'll be racing, or wearing.... or throwing!
Not having a horse stamp, it was a stroke of luck that my son got a letter delivered to our house this week with a postage stamp that had a horse on it. Not just any horse but Seabiscuit. Now Seabiscuit may not have won the Kentucky Derby in his time, but I'm sure if given the chance, he would have liked to try again.
See that Kentucky blue grass in the background? I heard that there's a ban on lawnmowers at the track - they're scaring the horses with all that noise. Track officials are opting to go the natural route with animal lawn care, so don't be surprised if you see lots of different animals showing up at the Tea Party this week. We'll be drinking tea and they'll be chomping grass. Wait a minute, that might be even scarier. Oh well, it'll be fun for sure!

Well, how serendipitous was that to have a Sea Biscuit stamp on hand?!!! Hey, a stamp is a stamp and this one works beautifully. How creative and wonderful!
