I LOVE the color of your little tea cart! I'm trying so hard to resist becoming a hoarder as my other half has a tendency to do that and not sure I want to add to that. I continually try to remember that my kids might have to clean all that out someday! lol That said, I have pieces tucked away and they're beginning to creep! lol LOVED your story and I've become a new follower.

Then, she is vindicated when I ask for some random object and she remarks, "Actually...I have that! It's a good thing I saved it...." Lol. Anyway, thanks for your sweet comment on my blog. You have a lovely space here and do inspiring work.

I love it to pieces - as in all of its separate parts which you gathered and painted and nailed to create this pretty miss.
