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.

What a sweet and pretty card - I really like all those scalloped layers.
And what an interesting sounding job, too.
We were lucky enough once when we visited a nearby Big House - we were the only people with the guide at the time, and when she realised that she used to work for one of DH's customers, she let us in behind the rope barriers in several of the rooms.

SWEET card for Alea. Hope she gets a lot of smiles when she starts to receive our tea party cards! Just got the address, so I will try to get mine in the mail tomorrow. Love your lacy border, and the sparkly DP!
