Tea Anyone?

I don't mind the odd cup of tea, how sweet would it be to invite a friend over for a cup and spoil them with these hand made tea bags. Such a nice gift idea. Found on Happy Things Blog by Ocechou

Made by Joel

I hope that I too can inspire my children the way Joel, from Made by Joel does with his sweet craft projects.
Charley is a little too young to understand the fun of making modern doll hoses, finger puppets or slot cards just yet, but believe me, together we will be crafting up sweet toys like Joel and his kids in no time. Thank you Joel for your inspirational site it is a real joy.

How adorable is Fanja's work, I have seen her Lewis and Lumi dolls sprinkled across the net, but just found her blog. A lovely site full of inspirational things. Enjoy! I know I will.
