February Begins at The Gossamer Tearoom. . .

After having had a bad cold for a couple of weeks last

month, I'm getting back to my projects!

Once again, this year, I have sent some handmade Valentines

to the Brooklyn offices of Etsy.  They will be handing them out

to recipients of Meals-On-Wheels in the New York City area.

These are the Valentines we made this year.

(Mr. V helped me!)

I used square Stardream Silver envelopes,

rubberstamped with Brilliance ink in "Victorian Violet".

Mr. V hand-lettered the labels with a Gelly Roll pen

in "Metallic Sepia".

I printed out some of the valentines I made for my

Print and Cut Valentines Collage sheet,

backed them with violet paper and added

dark red organza ribbon to them so they can

be hung as an ornament!

We then signed the backs of them all,

put them in their envelopes and sent them away!

We hope they make some people's days brighter!

And, it just isn't enough that

Our Dear Valentine Sweetheart Victorienne

is making a journey to New York City,

she is also dressed up as her favorite

characters from one of her favorite stories,

Alice in Wonderland,

here, in my newest collage sheet,

Victorienne in Wonderland!

Here is our little girl,

dressed as the bottle of liquid

labelled "Drink Me" that made

Alice small enough to begin

her adventures!!

Keep checking back

because Valentine's Day and February

are special times to celebrate,

here in The Gossamer Tearoom!
