Little World's Fair

Thanks to Nina of Happy Herbs Soap, the Arty Tea Party Guild enjoyed a wonderful 3-day event up in the beautiful area that is Grahamsville, NY.  The air is crisp and clean up there past the reservoir, and there is no cell phone service!  It's the best!  

BEST BOOTH AROUND!

There is always plenty to do and see up in Grahamsville.  Nina works especially hard for all 3 of the days of the fair, and we of the Arty Tea Party Guild are grateful to her for 

including us in her wonderful adventures.  

Vicki...outofhand, as usual!

This was last weekend for the 2-day Tractor Festival, same location in Grahamsville.

The tractor parade is so fun, and I chose this one as my fave...nice and shiny and RED!

I also snagged some cedar treasures that were cut right there...cedar shake, cedar logs...

I put them in all my closets, and even keep one under the seat in my van! 

And oh, the loads of  good junk to peruse...inspirational tools, you know!

Good people up in Grahamsville...

Next event there is THE GIANT PUMPKIN PARTY...

I did say GIANT PUMPKIN...did I not???

This was from last year's party...do come out on Oct. 6! GREAT FAMILY FUN!

THE ARTY TEA PARTY WELCOMES YOU!!!

Stained Glass by Judie...

The talented chics of the Arty Tea Party were out and

about at Grahamsville Little World's Fair last weekend.  

What a great 3 day event.  

Thanks to everyone who came out to visit and keep 

Nina of Happy Herbs Soap company.   We all owe her a 

debt of gratitude as she continues to keep us together as

an artistic endeavor.  NINA ROCKS!!!

Here are some of the latest creations by Judie...

who has shoved the gourds aside 

for stained glass!  

NICELY DONE, JUDIE!  KEEP IT UP!

Arty Garden Party...

This is my first go at "caulk transfers".

A real bathing beauty, if you don't mind my saying so...

Our last Arty Tea Party held at Two Crow Cottage, home of Happy Herbs Soap,

was truly inspiring.  Nina's gardens alone will provide you with a spark of

creativity.  Thanks to Kitty for the demo! She always has some great technique to share.

Or some great tale of "lost shoes"... 

Well, come on in...don't be shy...

venture out to the pond...

where nature is at home.

Now...see the visitors to the pond here... http://happyherbssoap.blogspot.com

ENJOY!  THANKS FOR STOPPING BY!

Pine Bush Art Tour

Here are a few members of the ARTY TEA PARTY GUILD

who participated in the PINE BUSH ART TOUR on May 26.

Alicia and Nina

Judie and Sandy (Rosebud)

not pictured, is Kitty who was probably out and about shopping...

and 

Vicki who was busy running in between the B & B and the library next door!

They were set up under 2 beautiful tents outside the very

festive PINE BUSH HOUSE BED AND BREAKFAST taking turns going

through all the treasures, (and I do mean treasures) that Barbara and Mark 

had put out for sale that day.  I even bought 2 lamps, one a very beautiful 

crystal chandelier, a great chair, and yes even the proverbial kitchen sink...

a very big, deep Kohler pedestal sink for the bathroom that I plan to renovate, 

also to include the claw foot tub, that has been in storage awaiting its new home.

If you could only see where "storage" is. 

 Hint: did you ever see the TV commercial with a couple bathing outdoors in the wilderness?

Nina was funny as she quickly grabbed 4 matching , quite large flower pots and stuffed them in her vehicle.  Now wondering, "How am I going to get all my stuff home that is beautifully displayed under these great tents, on top of big tables with folding chairs?"

Somehow, we managed to stuff it all in there, using these giant pots as storage.

Talk about "GYPSIES"...

It was a beautiful,  EXTREMELY HOT day in the neighborhood!

And as usual, a good time was had by all!

Thanks to Sharon MacGregor of the Wallkill Valley Times for the great photo.

And don't forget to visit Nina at the Rosendale Farmer's Market 2nd Sunday of each month

and at Goshen Farmer's Market June 22, and the last Friday of  each month thereafter.

Rosebuds On Glass Tea Party

What a lovely day in Walker Valley as the Talented Chics of the Arty Tea Party

Here are some the results!!

HAPPY SPRING!!!
