~ Tea & Embroidery Class Photos ~

 Good Morning Friends & Folk ~

and a very happy Sunday to you all...

it's a bit cloudy here on the farm today, but it's perfect weather for staying home, cooking up something good for supper and working on my stitching!

Yesterday was our Tea & Embroidery class here in 

the Studio at Notforgotten Farm ~

we welcomed a bunch of friends who came to stitch a teacup-themed embroidery,

then learn all kinds of neat things about teas,

 mix our own herbal teas, taste our teas & laugh {alot}.

my portion of class was of course teaching the embroidery ~

{Miss Joan is working on her rug hooking}

we got right to work tracing our designs onto our linen,

and the needles were flying after that!

here are the photos of their beautiful progress:

 aren't their projects just fabulous? 

{I think so too}

as the girls were working on their stitching,

Miss Nancy began her portion of class ~

teaching us all about herbal teas!!

Miss Nancy brought along a small portion 

of her favorite herb-related books for us to peruse ~

she also shared with us her beloved china teapots
and china cups & saucers handed down from her family!

Nancy is so knowledgeable when it comes to herbs, their properties for healing and such ~

it's always a pleasure to hear her talk about her gardens, her tinctures and herbal concoctions...

we had a great time learning about mixing our own herbal teas, 

and then tasting the wonderful 'recipes' that Nancy has made and shared with us ~

so many beautiful jars and bags filled with dried, organic goodness for us!

Robin & Anita are busily learning and mixing 

their own special batches or herbs for their teas in the photo below...

the entire studio was filled with the warmth of friendship and tea ~

and oh how loverly it was to breathe in all of the scents from those herbs!

OH! I forgot to take a photo of our Goodies

 A special day filled with Goodness of all kinds ~
