Well, I had never heard of Petticoat Junction, but I sure could see where Cindy was coming from when she linked to a YouTube video for part of the TPT challenge this week, inspired by that wonderful photo Joan shared with her. But hey, either there's something wrong with my eyesight or the web address in that photo is broke.
Not being a girly girl I didn't really have anything suitable to bring for Penelope. I could easily have done antiques, but that would have meant the back door - so I've brought Blue Bloomers for Blossum and Tea for Bea, all inspired by the photo. And while I will find another card for the Destination Station, this one is destined for a birthday girl later this month, I wonder who ;-).
Side step stair fold (old TLC) made from green Bazzill. All the steps were carefully masked and stamped with Inspired by Nature in green. I raided my scraps for all sorts of blues and punched a bunch of flowers (and some pots, to go in front of the Tea Rooms). Stickles and Liquid Pearls for the flower centres.
Signage on the Tea Shop (white, scored at 1/4" intervals) is courtesy of PTI, stamped in Tumbled Glass. And my sis gave me a little cat punch as part of a cat-themed Christmas present last year, how perfect!!

Well if this doesn't look just like it could fit right into that Martha's Bloomers shop! I just love the stepped "bloomers" you have and your sign and little cats, well, they're just perfect. I forgot all about the cats!
