I also used textures from French Kiss and Distressed Jewell.
We'll have tea tomorrow....I promise!

Texture and Surprises
MJ took me to a wonderful little restaurant inside an old house, but before we had lunch at the Dragonfly Tea Cottage, we checked out what was hiding just beyond the street. A tiny historic village with buildings, plantings, and stories to tell.
There were no guides to regale with facts and fables so we read the markers and peeked in windows...
and wondered what fried marbles tasted like. Anybody ever heard of fried and marbles? I'm guessing something like donut holes.
What lay beyond the bend of the sidewalk?
A garden of surprise and delight. Who knew Sylvania held a secret place right in the middle of town! Read more about it here.
I used textures on all the photos in today's post, but the last one is my submission to Kim Klassen's Texture Tuesday.

DeleteFried marbles? When you find out what on earth they are, please let us know!
ReplyDeleteThis peaceful, gracious place is just my cuppa tea.
Jeri...I did a bit of research on fried marbles and well...they're not something to eat. From the articles I perused fried marbles are a type of bead used in jewelry making and for crafts. HA! Who knew? Here's a link you might find interesting that explains the process.
