Lovely Cup of Tea ...

I love my cups of tea I have almost 6 cups a day but there's nothing like a beautiful pot of tea in a gorgeous cup and saucer. I'm a big T2 teacup buyer I buy almost every new teacup that comes out and I can't get enough of their Afternoon Tea! I have so many T2 canisters filled with Chamomile, Red Green Vanilla & Afternoon Tea. As well as their pots in navy blue, white and aqua ... I'm running out of room. Above is my favourite purchased at the Gisborne market.

Amazing Discovery ...

Last week I received an email from the wife of someone who knew my Great Aunt Suzie. She's been emailing me pictures including this one which just blew me away. I realised Suzie painted portraits of famous people and I drew portraits of famous people before I even knew about her. I just had to share my amazing discovery, it's pretty amazing and eerie at the same time ...

My portrait of Kim Wilde 1988.

My portrait of Marilyn Monroe. This one looks eerily similar in size to suzie's portraits.

My portrait of Molly Ringwald.
