T stands for Tag Tuesday and more

Hi Everybody!

On Tuesday we start another challenge at Tag Tuesday,
and this time our lovely Wendy is our host and has chosen 
TEXTURE 
as her theme. Tags of all formats are allowed,
as long as there's texture on them, which you can create any way
you like. Hope to see you there!
Karen of Lunagirl chose a winner from last week' entries,
but you'll have to go to Tag Tuesday to see who the
winner is!
I was not feeling good over the weekend, so had to make a 
rather quick tag today. I painted a 10" tag with blue/green metallic
 paint, which shimmers in all shades of purple, blue and green. 
The peacock feather was stenciled with pearl structure paste. I added
 flowers and pearls to give more texture. The quote (when
feathers appear angels are near) was
written by hand. I added 2 acetate butterflies with
pearls. I sewed the tag onto  a white corrugated background
I am also linking to 'touchy feely' at Simon Monday Challenge




Today is also Elizabeth's T stands for Tuesday, so I would
like to extend  a warm welcome to all of the nice ladies
of the T gang. Today I have some yummy muffins with
chocolate chips for you, so help yourselves:


And my drink is cappuccino:


 At the farm/petting zoo/museum they had a lot of antique
farm implements,  old household items etc:




I remember being bathed in a tub like that as a kid!






Some rooms were furnished as they were in the
good old days:



The attics were full of cobwebs:








And this little chappy was hopping around by the chickens - I will
show you their photos tomorrow:


Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!

  8. Its a gorgeous tag Valerie, there is a beautiful shimmer effect with the colours you used. I thought at first it may have been a silk background.
    I am in love with the photos, the old machines. implements and buildings, just the kind of museum I could spend a while in as well.
    Your cookies looked delicious. I would readily reach out for one to have with my cuppa.
    I hope you are feeling a bit better today, I was sorry to read that you had been feeling poorly.
    Happy T day wishes.

    1. Ja, es ist schön dort, und es ist gut, dass manche Orte bleiben so wie wir sie in Erinnerung haben.

  10. Sorry to hear you have been unwell, I hope you are feeling much better now! That's such a beautiful tag, I love the shimmering metallic paint with its different shades of colour! Everything about it is stunning from the sentiment, to the feathers, textures and pretty embellishments. I enjoyed visiting the museum with you, there is so much to see and your little chaffinch looks a cheeky chappy too. I bet the chocolate chip muffins taste delicious (I don't mind if I do ... grin!). Wishing you a Happy T Day! J :-)

  11. Gosh, I'm sorry to read you are not feeling well. I have been a bit under the weather, too, which kept me from creating art, unlike you. That tag is fabulous and really beautiful. I love the calming colors you chose, too.

    Of course, I didn't feel up to cooking, much less making muffins. Yours look wonderful. You bake wonderful things, and these muffins look out of this world. They go perfectly with your cappuccino.

    The zoo photos were wonderful. I had to laugh because there are things (tidbits) there that I have in my home, too. Of course, I've never seen or used one of those tubs to bathe in. Mine have all been porcelain. I really enjoyed this tour with you, and was really glad to see this beautiful old place through your eyes.

    Thanks for sharing your tag, your lovely photos from the zoo, and your muffins and cappuccino with us for T this Tuesday.

  12. Sorry you weren't feeling well. Hope you are feeling better now! :) Can't believe you made that TAG quickly- it looks great!

    Love seeing all those photos. Such interesting pieces! Thanks for sharing.

  13. Hope you'r feeling better Valerie and it wasn't anything serious you had. That tag is gorgeous though, so even when you were feeling down your talent still came through. I love how you made the feather pop off the page! And I'll have 2 of those muffins, even though I shouldn't. They look yummy. I think the farm museum had some cool things. I'm glad there are places that kids can go and see those antiques, and I guess even a lot of things would surprise me and I'm not a kid. LOL. Happy T day. Hugs-Erika

    Beautiful tag you made with lots of wonderful textures added to it and a very beautiful quote.

    Yummy buns and coffee. Happy T Day and I would love both of those.

    What terrific photographs and just the sort of place I love to visit. The pig ornament is wonderful among the other things all beautiful arranged.

  19. Hello Dear Valerie, I hope that by now you're feeling a little better.
    Your tag is gorgeous! Such a beautiful theme, so soft and flowing and I really love how you chose your lettering to complete the scene.
    The antiques were lovely to see - that oven would produce such special baked goods indeed! It's always nice to look at items from days gone by isn't it.
    Thanks very much for the cupcakes (I took two!! ;D)). Yummy coffee too.
    Sending good cheer to you from over the way xx

  21. Sorry to hear you were feeling a bit off colour. I hope you are back to you goold old self again now.
    The tag is beautiful nevertheless. I love the quote and will think of angels when I see a feather.
    I loved the museum/farm. I recognised so many things! (A sign that I am getting old). Yep, I was bathed in a bath like that, only smaller. I love the toy stove. I had one like that in Italy and couldn't get to grips with it. I had a modern kitchen put in. Now I regret getting rid of it.
    The bread oven is fab. I wish I could have one here. (One day....)
    I would love a choc chip muffin, thank you.
    Thanks for taking us to the farm, and for the coffee and muffins,
    Happy T-Day,
    Hugs,
    Lisca

  23. Sorry to hear you have not been well - hope you are better now! I was hoping that my last year in my 60's was going to be one where the time didn't rush so much and that I would be getting loads done - pah!!! Your tag is wonderful - really lovely texture! I loved seeing the goats and pigs but I must say these old farm and household items are fascinating! Yes I remember a bath like that too - in front of the fire with a clothes horse around to protect my modesty!!! Hugs, Chrisx

  25. Sorry to hear that you haven't been feeling well, but hope you are much better now. Great photos this week - love the old farm setting and the implements . Your tag is beautiful - perfect for Texture . I really like the way you stitched onto corrugated cardboard for even more surface texture.

  28. Valerie, your feathers tag is stunning! I hope you're feeling better. When I'm not well but not sick enough to stay in bed, I find creating helps take my mind off my misery. Thank you for the lovely muffin ;-)

    Hmmm, I don't see a bath tub in that photo. Could it be the boat on the wall? Or perhaps the box with the lid? I've seen ones like that in TV Westerns, but surely you're no that old! lol

    Happy T-Day! Hugs, Eileen

    1. I grew up in London after the second world war. Housing was at a premium as so much had been bombed, Our playgrounds were bombsites, and many people, like my aunt and uncle, had an outside toilet and a tin bath, like the 'boat' on the wall, which was placed in front of the fire, behind a screen, and the kids got bathed one by one or 2 by 2, as the case may be.

    2. The feather tag is beautiful. Love the colors and the sentiment. I'll gladly help myself to a muffin or two. Fun looking at the antique machinery. So glad for indoor plumbing and my modern washing machine. Happy T Day!

  29. The muffins look delicious! Thanks!

    I always enjoy displays of antiques farm and home equipment, especially set up as they would have originally furnished a farm or house. Thank you for such delightful photos :)

    Happy T Tuesday!

  35. I am a farm girl at heart so I loved all those farm photos-my favorite was the wood cook stove and that wood fired oven-always wanted one of those.
    Your tag is gorgeous and I can just feel all the softness.
    I didn't get a chance to post yesterday but still wanted to stop by for a visist
