Hi Everybody!
On Tuesday we are beginning a new challenge at
Tag Tuesday, chosen by the lovely Joan
-Things with wings-
As our last challenge was about birds, we are asking you not
to use birds this time, but anything else with
wings - let your imagination fly free !
Tags of all formats are allowed, and you have 2 weeks
to link to us. AND you can win a prize - all details
on our blog!
I made an 8" mixed media tag, once again stitching the layers
together. The image is from Gecko Galz, and is one of my faves. I
used a mix of dried twigs and textile flowers as
embellishments. The butterfly is from LaBlanche.
I am also linking to Go Tag Thursday, vintage.
Tuesday is also time for Tea Stands for Tuesday over
at Elizabeth's blog, so here a hearty welcome to all of the nice
ladies of the T-Gang.
Today there are chocolate muffins on offer,
please help yourselves:
And my drink is, as always, cappuccino in my fave mug:
The trees are rapidly turning green:
Most days have been warm and sunny:
Today started out cool and misty, but the sun came out later:
I had to move the hyacinths from the kitchen to the
balcony as the smell was beautiful but rather
overpowering:
Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
Another beautiful and elegant tag, and great photos. Love the misty ones, too. And I wouldn't mind a couple of those choccie muffins! But with tea, please! Hugs, Sarah
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty tag Valerie and exceedingly yummy looking muffins. Love your photos especially the floral ones.

Lovely winged tag today. Your muffins look so good! No green leaves here yet, just overcast and rainy.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful tag! There is so much lovely detail - the background paper and the image of the lady is so pretty and your use of dried twigs, textile flowers, netting and lace makes it looks so elegant! I would love to join you for one of those yummy chocolate muffins - Happy T Day! J :-)
ReplyDeleteEverytime I see your gorgeous tags I think "Valerie can't make another one more beautiful than this one!" And everytime I'm wrong!!! Fabulously beautiful as are every one of your photos!!!
ReplyDeleteHugs~
Oops!!! I got so carried away that I forgot to tell you how delicious those chocolate muffins look :)
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous feminine tag, it's a lovely image.

What a gorgeous dimensional tag, Valerie. You outdid yourself :D
ReplyDeleteAnd your fog and flower photos are absolutely dreamy. What a nice visit.
Happy T-day! Hugs, Eileen
I love this gorgeous tag Valerie! Love how you added the flowers…speaking of which - we had to banish hyacinths to our balcony too - T was sneezing too much! Love your photos - the misty ones are great! Trying to ignore your yummy looking buns!!! Happy T Day! Chrisx
ReplyDeletereally beautiful tag Valerie! My hubby would love those muffins:) And I will take the pretty flowers blooming about town:) Happy T day!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tag Valerie. And YUMMY-those muffins look really delicious. I think mine would taste good with a big glass of milk. :) I'll be by for breakfast. Especially since you have so much green. :) Happy T day. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteYour tag is SO beautiful and romantic. It looks like you recycled a few things, too. I am always impressed when you sew. SEW much better than my wonky sewing (grin).
ReplyDeleteI love the mist. To me, it's the hardest thing to capture. Your photos are incredible.
I want a chocolate muffin. How did you know I am craving chocolate, even before I visited. Now my mouth is watering. Thanks for sharing your cappuccino (and that lovely mug) and muffins with us for T this Tuesday.
I always use recycled bits!
DeleteThis tag is adorable, so nice with the vintage feel and that gorgeous butterfly.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pics of those flowers and I have already put on weight looking at those yummy food.xx ♥[aNNie]
What an amazing post - gorgeous as always.
ReplyDeleteThe tag is stunning and what a wonderful hat with all the additions and the bright colours. It cheered me up instantly.
ReplyDeleteThe muffins look amazing and how you find time to cook such wonders, with all the other things you have to fit into your life at the moment, is beyond me.
Great photographs and I could smell the hyacinths from here.
Have a great day
Love Chrissie xx
How creative! And wow, the muffins got me craving.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots of the majestic skies and pretty flowers.
Always a treat to visit your blog..and this time I get to have one of your muffins too..delicious...
ReplyDeleteI love Hyacinths too, their smell as you say is lovely,but intense...
Love.love.love your tag...it is beautiful.
Thank you for playing along in this weeks challenge...xx
Another fabulous tag, and lovely photographs. I'll decline on the muffins as I am bordering on Type 2 diabetes. :(
ReplyDeleteHugs Wendy
What a beautiful tag! I love the way you put the flowers on her hat. Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThank you, I think I will have a muffin. I'm supposed to be on a diet but those muffins look so yummy, I can't resist!
I love hyacinths but agree with you that their fragrance is somewhat overpowering. In Holland I could sometimes smell a field of hyacinths from miles away!
Lovely photos of the trees in the mist. I'm glad you have had some decent weather. Spring is here.
Happy T-Day,
Hugs,
Lisca
What a beautiful tag, I just adore that big butterfly and all the flowers! Wonderful photos, I think I love misty mornings more than anything else. Sunny days are so boring! lol. Lovely flowers, didn't realize they had such a strong aroma, all my plants are foliage only. have a great week :)
ReplyDeleteAbsolute Brilliant tag! So beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteand those muffins...you are such a tease!!
those hyacinths, mmmmmm I can smell them from here-the smell of Spring!
hugs,Jackie
Such a pretty lady on your tag with her lovely blooms and the butterfly too!
ReplyDeleteOh you had me at chocolate with your yummy muffins...I can almost smell them.
It is always fun to stop and smell the flowers too...lovely closeups!
Happy T Day liebe Valerie oxo
Hyacinths smell wonderful .... LOVE them! but they could be a tad overpowering in a small space.. And those chocolate muffins Valerie...YUUUMMM!!! Happy T day! Hugs! deb
ReplyDeleteThose hyacinths are fabulous. I love pink hyacinths and the smell (most of the time, sometimes a bit much but it's always worth the try. I bought a few cut ones for my kitchen window this week!) And your tag is lovely. All mkes me hungry!
ReplyDeleteYour photos are great. So many wonderful things, the muffins look scrumptious, the flowers beautiful. I love the vintage lady. Can't make up my mind which is my favorite, but I think if I could smell/taste the muffins that would seal the deal!
ReplyDeleteI love how you embellished the lady's hat :) I'm enjoying the chocolate muffin with my coffee, thx! The nature photos are lovely. The atmosphere can change so much through the day. Happy T Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteYour tag is so pretty Valerie - love the image, stitching and flowers especially.
ReplyDeletemmm..I can imagine your scrumptious muffins and coffee and the flowers are lovely - but I see why you had to move them - they make me want to sneeze! :)
Hope your week going well... Gill xx
Hi Valerie, WOW I love your wings tag. The 3D effect is beautiful!! Your muffins look so delicious!! Love your walking pics and your flowers are gorgeous. So nice to catch up with you this morning. I'm back from spring break and enjoying getting around to everyone!! Have a great week. xo
ReplyDeleteyour tag is utter vintage loveliness and the little bit of netting just makes it so extra special! i'm jealous of your muffins and cappuccino! and love all your photos as always. xo
ReplyDeleteYou can't possibly eat all those muffins by yourself! Oh if only I could help myself to one!!!
ReplyDeleteValerie - your tag is outstanding - once again you have hit the jackpot.
Beautifully designed and made. I think I am more of a romantic than I thought for!!!!
Always enjoy your pictures Sugar!!

Gorgeous tag. The butterfly on the woman's hat reminds me of the fanciful hat creations you see at place like Ascot. those chocolate muffins are to die for. Oh, my! The hyacinths are so beautiful, but I find their scent a bit overpowering. thanks for sharing your Spring. I wish the season would get started here. Happy T Day
ReplyDeletelove the gorgeous art and the muffins look delicious xx
ReplyDeleteA wonderful tag, love the image and the beautiful flowers. Lovely set of photos!

ReplyDeleteEin ganz zauberhaft romantisches Tag, Vintage-Look vom Feinsten. Gefällt mir sehr.
ReplyDeleteOh wie lecker sehen deine Muffins aus, da möchte man gleich eins mopsen und reinbeißen.
Ja nach dem Regen mit darauffolgendem Sonnenschein explodiert das Grün, ein herrlicher Anblick.
Liebe Grüße
