For today's teapot challenge we are going to the Kentucky Derby to watch Too Tall Tony McTea's wife substitute as a jockey for him. Join in the fun here. Forums at Splitcoaststampers
Tony's wife Toni is honored to replace her husband as a jockey but very disappointed about her hat. Ever since she had seen the vintage display in the April DD gallery she has wanted to wear a vintage hat to the Kentucky Derby. She had even started assembling the tea dyed laces, flowers, ribbons and a hat pin she would need to make a beautiful hat. When she got the call to ride she gave a long sigh and just attached her supplies to a card.

Typical stamper - using all those gorgeous supplies to create a lovely card! This probably would not have survived the derby anyway, so much better this way!!!
