Margaret Brown, better known as The Unsinkable Molly Brown, had a daughter named Helen. There are hollyhocks growing on the grounds of the MBHM in Denver and I wonder if Helen didn't sit among the flowers when she lived there.
This card is for Alea who has had so much pain the last year with surgery, infections, hardware placement and removal and yet keeps smiling.
Thanks to everyone who will send Alea a card through Mothermark's August 24 Tuesday Teapot Challenge.

Hi Marilynn! Thanks so much for making this awesome sample card for Alea's challenge! I betcha the picture of Helen in the garden in your head is spot on! Good to see you again! I love that you have attended a couple of teaparties as you move toward to a full recovery!!!
I love the touch of sparkley and the pretty lacey border on the right......not to mention the sweet image of little *Helen*! It's feminine and beautifully done!
