A little caffeine anyone?

One of my favorite places to visit when I'm in Seattle is the "original" 
Starbucks.
If you're a coffee and tea junkie like me, this place is a must see! 
Have fun trying to take a photo of the inside though, it's always so crowded in there and everyone is trying to take pictures,  it's really kind of entertaining.   I don't normally care for crowds, so I'll go in and order with my hubby, try to get a photo then wait outside. LOL!
It's Black & White Wednesday over at 
The Long Road to China
if you'd like to check out some of the other entries. 


I'm running off to work for now, but I hope to visit with all of you again soon! 
Thanks for dropping by, 

Becca

Hi Becca!

I am totally a coffee and tea junkie too! Coffee only in the morning though.
I am familiar with Starbucks now that I live on the Coast. Starbucks is so big here. I only buy their tea as I find their coffee way too strong. Where I come from Tim Horton's rules in the coffee world so that's what we make every morning.
I have to say I much perfer the interior and music of Starbucks to Tim Hortons. Way more jazzy!
Have a great day!

That Starbucks reminds me of when my in-laws come to visit. My MIL always wants to go in and buy a mug from there to give someone back home as a gift. It's actually become a running joke now. It's pretty amazing what that one little store started.

That location is always busy. Though I haven't been in a Starbucks in Seattle that isn't busy. The people of Seattle sure do love their coffee.

Watercolor on Tea Bags

Image
Hello Friends!  Hope you are enjoying your weekend, especially  if this is a long weekend for you!  It seems like I've been drinking a lot of tea lately, so I  thought it was time to get out my tea bags  and get creative!  This is a mixed-media piece on watercolor paper. First, I tore pieces of the tea bags and glued them to the  watercolor paper to start my background. This is another piece I started just today where I decided to use a rubber stamp before applying the tea bags for added interest.  I love the color and texture the tea bags create.  After the background was dry, I started to sketch out my design.   The dragonfly is a rubber stamp. Finally, a little simple hand stitching on linen for added texture. The light was so beautiful and inviting on my desk today. Oh, and don't you just love my new pencil box I got at the  second-hand store for 97 cents?

The Art of A Rain Chain

Image
"Art"   is probably not the first word that comes to mind for most people when it rains.  If you have ever seen a  Rain Chain   then maybe you'll understand why I think of it this way.  copper, metal, patina, design, texture, beauty... peaceful,  mesmerizing... If you've read my blog for some time, you might remember, this "desert girl" is fascinated with  rain chains. :-) I'm still traveling...Seattle...it's raining... I'm sharing my Rain Chain Art this week at Lisa Gordon's  Creative Exchange I have been reading and enjoying your comments. When I'm back home, I will have more time to visit and get caught up with you.  Hope your week is off to a great start!  Becca

Creating Art with Tea Bags

Image
As summer approaches and the sunshine is plentiful here in the  desert southwest, I drink a lot of this... Making sun tea here only takes a short time. I've been using 6 regular size tea bags for the above container. (I like a pretty strong flavor)  You can add sugar or not, I enjoy it with a little mint leaves & lemon and  sometimes an added sweetener.  I started having so many tea bags and I've seen my friend Kimmie   create art with them, so I thought I'd give it a try!  I just let the bags completely dry,  remove the tag & staple then open them up carefully and empty the tea. Open the bags at the seam line and this is what you have,  beautifully tea stained papers for collage, sewing, etc.  Here, I used old dictionary book paper to create my flower design on water color paper.  I painted the flowers with watercolors.  Collaged torn tea bags onto the background, then stitched around  each flower for dimension.  This book mark I made using water
