Good morning to you and to the “T” gang over at the Altered Book Lover. It’s Tuesday which means we share a beverage and what we have been up to recently. I just made some more tea bag clusters for myself and my swap partner on Swap-bot. These little creations are so much fun to make! Once completed, you have a jump start for your journal, card, or scrapbook page to embellish with. This time the theme is Autumn colors. I don’t know about you, but I’m ready for the weather to change, and making these really got me in the Fall spirit.
Hubby and I went on a date night to the Mermaid Winery in Va. Beach. They source their grapes from vineyards in VA and CA. and have a small production of their own wines. It’s a wine bar and restaurant that serves 800 different wines from around the world. We enjoyed wine and a nice meal, but somehow I only photographed my water glass and got too busy talking to capture anything else so I’ll post a picture from the website:
Lastly, I have an Inchie:
Thanks for popping by and enjoy your week!

I love the teabag clusters, wonderful idea. And as I love autumn, these are right to my taste – I am looking forward to autumn very much. The inchie is pretty, too. How nice to have a night out, wining and dining in style, sounds fantastic. I like the idea of mermaid wine! Happy T Day, have a great week, and stay well and safe, dear Karen! Hugs, Valerie

Winebars are a wonderful invention, and it’s great that yours is open: safely, I hope. We still aren’t going out, and our town is really too small for something as specific as a wine bar anyway.

I love your teabag clusters too-very clever.
what a very fun place to visit and I Love the mermaid label especially, that would be one to soak off and use in a journal page.
Happy T wishes Kathy

I adore your tea bag clusters. They are fabulous. My faves are the two with the tickets. So glad you shared these and your inchie, too.
That winebar sounds wonderful. Although I’m not a drinker, the idea of one sounds fabulous. Even though Wichita is the largest city in the state, we don’t have any winebars here. Thanks for sharing your water and win from the internet with us as well as your art for T this Tuesday, Karen.

The teabag clusters are really cute. Do you have magnets on the back for the fridge? And the tasting sounds WONDeRFUL! (You may have answered this but I have a survey on new blogger at my site. Looks like you’re WP but if you want to weigh in, please do!)

Wow, what amazing clusters of artwork! I love the autumnal colours and theme, they are fabulous and will make beautiful additions to your scrapbooking 😀. It looks like you visited a lovely place and I’d happily join you for a glass or two of wine or water …lol 😁. That’s a super sunshiny inchie too! Take care and Happy T Day wishes! Hugs, Jo x

Those are cool Tea bag clusters. I haven’t seen anything like that. And it’s fun to visit local wineries. I haven’t done that for a few years. Hope it was a great T day and thanks for the idea of something fun to do. Hugs-Erika

Your teabag clusters are so pretty. I had never heard about them before. What a cool idea. Though I think an Autumn theme is rushing the season as we still have another month left of Summer. Your sun inchie made me smile. Happy T Day

Oh I love your clusters. I have done clusters before, but you have inspired me to do some again. And the autumn colours are just perfect.
It sounds like a really nice place for your date night. A nice environment too from what i can see from you photo.
Again, your inchie is gorgeous.
I’m sorry I’m late in commenting. My laptop has decided it does no longer wants to use Chrome or Internet Explorer and I have not been able to comment. I have an iPhone but I’ve tried commenting before and most comments don’t arrive. So I am looking for someone to do me a blog on WordPress (the free version). (I’m assuming I can use WordPress on iphone) If you know of anyone who could do that for me and is reasonably priced, please let me know. I have tried myself but I have not succeeded.
Happy belated T-Day,
Hugs,
Lisca

I love your Fall artwork tea bag clusters. They’re beautiful. Did you have to wear masks in the restaurant, other than while eating? Those are the rules here in Connecticut, so I have no interest in dining out. Happy Belated T-Day!

We only had to wear masks going in and out and if you need to use the restroom. While you were sitting at your table you don’t have to wear it here in Virginia 💕

Oh, my goodness! I love your little embellishments. I have just begun to collect for a junk journal which I have never done before. I watch a lot of DearJulieJulieJunkJournal on YouTube. Also I would use these in scrapbooking, which I do a lot of. I just love yours! Happy Day!
