THE VILULA TEA GARDEN

...it was a little tea room in my memories...ladies wearing white gloves and pretty hats; soft and mended old linens on the tables; and heirloom roses in crystal vases....lovely.

    Thanks for the giveaway. Also, I just wanted to say that I lived in Newnan, GA for a wonderful year of my life. We lived in the Newnan Lofts and I taught at Newnan Crossing Elementary. In fact, it was such a wonderful year because that is where I learned to sew. An amazing lady, Mary Ann Reese, who is a retired Home Ec. teacher, taught me to sew.

    Awesome giveaway! I would make a little quilt and put them on there.

    I am 8. I am learning how to sew. I have been doing some embroidery stitches. My 6 year old brother is learning some too. I hope to be on the machine before the end of summer. There are pictures of both of us sewing together and of our projects on my blog. Further down in previous posts, I also have pictures of my family, mom, dad, 15 month brother and other brother and sister. We homeschool.

    I am having a giveaway as well at

    I would love to add them to aprons for my daughter and myself. However, one of the comments mentioned pillows and they would be so cute. I made small pillows with a pocket on them for those in my family. We stick little "I love you notes" in them from time to time. The yo-yo's would look really cute to dress up the pillows.
