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!!!

Do you sleep, MariLynn? You are amazing doing all the things you do. So very nice of you to host the teaparty. I am off to the cabin but will make a card tomorrow.
Your leaves on your card are beautiful! Gotta love those colors.
