Cupcakes taste better in NYC!

Posted in 2016 Travel Adventures, Halloween/Fall by

These little cupcakes went all over New York with me and my sisters.  I carried them in my purse, in a souvenir bag, asked my sister to hold and even dropped some a few times, all for the sake of an iconic photo op.

3 Day Quote Challenge (2)

3-Day Quote Challenge~Day 2

This is day 2 of the quote challenge.  I am posting a quote from Alice in Wonderland that I like.  It may mean something different to me than was intended in the book,  but it is still thought provoking…and cute!  I also love little tea-cups! alice in wonderland 2

It’s Always Tea-Time~Mad Hatter/Alice in Wonderland

 This quote from Alice in Wonderland is so simple. It made me think of special friends that will grab a cup of tea (okay, more like a glass of iced-tea, I am from Texas after all) with me after work just to catch up…thanks Carol!  It makes me appreciate sisters who meet up to have a sister shopping day at Magnolia Market in Waco…thanks Fixer Upper!   I did warn you my interpretation of this quote  was not the same as it was in Wonderland, but it puts a smile on my face when I say it!  (and the Mad Hatter Tea Party would annoy me)!

It’s Always Tea-Time means It’s always time for friends and family and catching up!  

 

I am nominating four of my favorite bloggers to participate in this 3-day challenge and to pass on to three others!  Just post a favorite quote for 3 consecutive days and nominate three others to do the same!
