A Gypsy Tea
Rachel Carlson
Just a few peeks at “a gypsy glee tea” that I will be hosting in my home.
Tea and cookies will be served to my close friends along with handmade gifts.
Who doesn’t need a break before the holiday rush?

Cut outs of the bird cage – victoria 6×6 paper variety pack(Pandora paper)
I tied two pieces of a tree branch with wire and made a hook to hold the bird cage.
Paper cones for tiny cookies

party favor pockets

I added a package of mulling spices for tea/wine and a cinnamon stick – yummy!
When the ladies come over next month, I can hardly wait to see everyone’s expression when they see the little details of gypsy love!

So pretty! What stamp did you use for “rachel” and “a treat for you”? I’d love to know – really like the font.
