My latest find is the most perfect tea cup for me. A sepia ship adorns the side of the tea cup and the saucer as well. I drink iced tea in the summer so I decided to use it as a dish for blackberries.

Alas, it it time for another giveaway! I painted this small wooden ship a pretty shade of robins egg blue and added patchwork whimsy to her sails. Now she is ready to pick you up for an adventure...you just need to tell her where you would like to go. It can be anywhere...somewhere made up and magical to somewhere real. All I ask is please be descriptive and delight my senses! Tell me in a comment here (you don't have to be a member of LJ or listed as my friend...anyone can participate) and I will pick the place I like best and you will win this really neat ship! The contest ends Friday, July 20th at 8:00 pm.
