First the problem with no comments on yesterday’s post (which is really lonely, let me tell you…), then I’m in the middle of updating my printer drivers and my pc crashes right in the middle of creating a new post. I can’t print, I can’t post, not feeling the love.
Intel must be in retrograde or something like that. And someone has crankyitis.
Oh – and my soon to be replaced camera got wind of the whole enterprise and decided to stay at my Dad’s and pout. So I am camera-less at the moment. The image above was taken with a friend’s old camera.
Cleansing breath. Okay. So I have been tasked with making numbered tags for the tea party. A tag will go on each lovingly wrapped tea cup and a corresponding number will go in the butler’s bowler hat for each guest to draw. Yes, they have a butler at the Villa. When he isn’t busy making wine.
These are my proto-types. I was thinking of going for an Alice in Wonderland Mad Hatter teaparty theme – but just couldn’t get it to work for me. So I went for Victorian ladies instead. I’m kind of pleased. When I do the actual tags I’ll print the images on photo paper so the color will be sharper.
It’s a good think I don’t have my camera because I’d be tempted to take a picture of the disaster my kitchen is right now – stamp pad, glitter and scraps of paper every where.

Umm, I have this love/hate thing with technology. When it works it’s wonderful but when it doesn’t it never seems to be just one thing.
Used to live in Northern California very close to Napa. Sigh.
The tags are gorgeous.
So sorry for your *techy* difficulties. -le sigh-
But since you said “your Pc”… Mmmm, I simply have slip in a wee plug, for looking into a Mac, next time.
I soooo love my Mac OS X! Love! Love! Love!

Those tags are wonderful Andrea! Thank you! They’ll be a hit at the party. So guess what- Butler got his hands on a 4 bottle machine thingy that fills four bottles at once. So now he’s off to Avalon to bottle tomorrow. *sigh* AND he went shopping in Union Square today with his buddies. Me? I’m in my jammies wondering what to do with myself.
Cute, cute, cutecutecute! I am totally wishing I could come to this party!
Sorry about your technical difficulties–they always seem to come in piles, don’t they?
Nope, sorry, you’re overruled. Your whole family agrees with me (belive me, they’ve stopped by my blog, and we’ve all voted.)Your tags are darling!! Love the colors…thanks for popping in to look at mine. Am going home after work to bake a chocolate cake with marshmallow frosting and amoeba crackers. Take care…
