When we were preparing to move { read: throwing out or donating anything we could }

I found this little tea set in my mementos box. 

I have no. idea. who gave it to me.
{ pretty awesome memento, huh?! }

I wish I could remember as I simply love it and would love it all the more knowing who gave it to me.

I knew once we got settled in our new home I'd want to photograph it.

And that time finally came this week.

...except I was having one heck of a time getting the background just how I wanted it.

{ grrrr!!! }

After several attempts I gave up.

And instead decided to browse my favorite photography sites....AshleySisk.com being one of them.

Wouldn't you know it...that exact same day she had a post with a tutorial on how to add in a faux background.

{ haaaaaaa-llelujah! ...and I don't sing that in jest...I really think God helps us out with small things, too. }

Thanks to Tutorial Tuesday and Ashley's guest poster Jill Wellington, I was able to get my image to match what was in my head.

{ sigh & grin...thanks for your help girls! :) }
