Wordless Wednesday: I love this tea strainer; a work of art

I was looking through Flickr and found this amazingly beautiful tea strainer, which I just had to share with all of you. It is a work of art, a real jewel, don't you think?

    Carolyn: I know. LOL. The hostess and other participants post on Tuesday. Many/most hostesses post the day before for some reason, and especially since I live in California, the timezone difference makes me have to post earlier. Plus, as you can see, I'm also participating in several Tuesday tea parties. :-)

    Hi. Thanks for stopping by. I use picnik. It's free online and you can make collages with it but I paid to upgrade it because it gives you more options. www.picnik.com
