Sweet Tea Decor!

Using vintage silver sugar bowls, silver spoons, hand made vintage book page rosettes and numbered tags, I made these two adorable Sweet Tea Decorations! I am listing one for sale on my sidebar, the other one, I am keeping for myself. If you are interested, just email me and I can give you more information.
Sale, $22 + shipping

See the adorable little key?
I've got to keep this one...Why? Because after making the paper flower, and attaching it as I was putting it together, I noticed the word "Teresa" at the top of the flower.  Look closely above and you will see it. I go by Terry since I prefer it over my birth name...Theresa! Don't you just love kismet? 

kis·metkiz-mit, -met, kis-]

–noun
fate; destiny.
This one I am keeping
Oh so cute and sweet vintage. This would make such a wonderful gift for a vintage lover, and tea drinker.

    Hi Terry! I'm a new follower {having gotten here, I don't know how}, but I just wanted to tell you that I am realling enjoying going back and reading all your past posts. You are very talented and I love your MacKenzie-Childs copies; they are a favorite of mine as well. I'm looking forward to reading more of your posts in the future!

    I've got tons of silver at my shop that I just set out as choice, $1 each. We pick up so much of it cheap. This would be an easy way to display a few of the prettier ones at a higher dollar and still have a great turn over!
    Thanks for the inspiration!
