Hee, hee! I just love where we are heading today! My namesake cove! Yep, it's Peggy's Cove. My dad is from Nova Scotia, so we traveled there each summer. My father would get the "itch" whenever july came around. Great memories. Had to share that!
Now for the real news. This week Cindy (MotherMark's) teapot tuesday party
is right dab in Central Peggy's Cove. You have to know that only 120 have residency there, but in the summertime there's millions of tourists that stop by just to admire the Maritime beauty and so it is. It's a small little lighthouse, but one of the most famous one too! So join us in the fun, I know Maritimers love their tea with milk and sugar, but me, I love mine with something extra! LOL
Had to catch a few fishies, that's why I'm a bit late this morning in getting here. Stop by, maybe you'll get to meet some of my relatives, but please don't tell them what I use in my tea okay. They all think I'm this sweet sweet thang, don't want to disappoint now! LOL
My little lighthouse was made with the Midnight madness sketch Priscilla Styles prepares each week also, this one was a fine challenge. Love the special ribbon treatment she added.

Peggy, I immediately thought of you today when I saw where we were going. And how fun that this is familiar stomping ground for you!
Your card is darling and a great use of the MM sketch. Love your flying fish, girl, but gonna' pass on the tea today! Hugs!

Oh Peggy, what a perfect card for your special lighthouse day! Awesome use of the sketch, just one BIG problem...this is ANOTHER card with fish too cuuuuute to keep! Well, throw these back, too, and it's back to the drawing board ((sigh))...luckily I love this salty air so we COULD stay an extra week if we had too...though it is wreaking havoc on my hair, hee!

Wow! I'm so excited! You were named after Peggy's Cove! That means you will get us the very best table at the very best places! That means we won't be drinking your Fish Soup Tea! Barf! Ummmm I mean I'm sure it's just lovely but no thanks!
This is wonderful, Peggy! Fabulous lighthouse scene! Love the colorful cabin and those matching fishies! Love your story!
