T STands For FiesTa

 

Mielebaer wanted to smile but he is not dumb.

On his way to the billiard table he saw the sign, "Dance like  no one´s watching" and then I place him to sit in front of a napkin saying "FIESTA"???

 

Now,... WHO is dancing???

He got a ticket for FUN, too! He was a tad... confused...

 

Yippee-yah-yay, we got real mail from Elizabeth and certainly Bleubeard himself!!!!

And Mielebär/Mielebaer (you know Miele washing-machines? That´s his real Mommy) - he wanted to use a ticket for this lady straight away (he´s a gentleman)baer:

 

 I found her in a 70´s magazine, of course! 💃

 

Thank you for introducing me to silicone stamps, they´re fun!

Now it´s summer, it´s real summer, but this is from last... brrrr... week:

 And now.... It´s T-day, right? Taking part in Elizabeth and Bleubeard´s "T Stands For Tuesday" with this!!!

 A summery ale, what else, outside, too, YAYYY!!! T-shirt-weather!!!!

Thanks to "Corinna" we were the only guests inside (as the sun came around, burning us off).

The waitress was happy to have someone to chat to and when I said, "wow, cool glasses, can you buy them?" she said, "don´t tell" and gave us two :-)

 I mean, really, aren´t they too cool?! 🍺🍺💚

And... 🦁 Henry?

Have you spotted his American Sibling in first pic? He came all the way from Bleubeard! And Elizabeth, certainly!

Ye-hessss!  💛

Broccoli and feta is a great combo, I like that meal, perfect for Summer ☺

Did the bear have a close encounter with a washing machine? I had a bear like that once — it ruined his fur and my mother made me give him up when I was around 3 or 4 years old. A very sad day. Your bear looks pretty chipper!

be well... mae at maefood.blogspot.com

We did give him a proper wash in a hand wash. But Miele claims (and we do have a Miele washing machine indeed now) it would not hurt him.
He travels less now (he´s.... uhhh 16 years old already, last time was Perth 2019 :-)... so dirt is not such a problem no more).

I love the beer glass. It made me smile. And Elizabeth is so generous. The little package is lots of fun. I like how you added the ticket to your stamped page. It is a fun 70s page for sure. You are getting to be quite the artist Iris. ❤️ Happy T day. Hugs Erika

Tom said...

...now that's a beer!!!

Lisca said...

Wow! Those are great glasses! And you got them for free! It doesn't come any better. I'm sure the beer will taste even better in those glasses. Yes, orgasmic!
Isn't it nice to receive a parcel in the post. Elizabeth is very generous indeed. And you got the extra lion! (well, I got an extra post card (ne ne ne ne ne.)
Your journal page is fab! (to use a 70s expression). Those stamps are great, aren't they.
Broccoli and feta, a very good combination for a salad (raw, or very slightly cooked broccoli is lovely in a salad).
Happy T-Day,
Hugs,
Lisca

Hi Dearest Iris! That teddy bear is super super cute! I also have a toy dog which is two years older than me because I inherited it from my older brother. Now he is 32 and he looks tattered but I still love him so much, he's been with me to 15 countries.

Love the delicious dish and that is a HUGE mug of beer for Ingo! That sign looks super cute! hugs to you dearest Iris!

Stevenson

Iris Flavia said...

Dear Stevenson! So cute you take your toy dog along, too, 15 countries, Mielebaer says "WOW"!
HA. A huge beer mug for Ingo?! I had the other one! (It´s the angle, it´s not that much but hand brewed and high Braunschweig quality!)

Hugs to you, dear Stevenson!!!

A lovely post and a delicious looking salad.
It's certainly the weather for salads at the moment.

Following on our conversation regarding recipes for cookies.
I liked the look of the one you linked to and have suggested two similar ones, see my comment reply and suggestions here

Your salad sounds just yummy- my kind of food!
And what a very funny glass- how could one not smile at that sentiment:):) Happy T day!

Anne (cornucopia) said...

Teddy said to tell Mielebaer Hi!

Happy T-Day! (I'm leaving a generic comment for everyone this week, because I'm very sore after each day's storm clean up efforts. Tropical Storm Isaias clobbered Connecticut US August 4, 2020.)

Karen said...

What a sweet waitress! Lucky you two ~ Great fun page ~ Happy T day!

Anonymous said...

This was a fun post, Iris. I smiled all the way through. You made a very pretty page for Mielebär. And what a super ending - two free beergasm glasses - lol.

Happy T-day and have a lovely week! Hugs, Eileen

Bill said...

What a great freebie you got. Love those glasses, very cool.
Enjoy the extremely hot weather :)

gigi-hawaii said...

The beer looks great and the mugs are cute.

CJ Kennedy said...

Your Mielebar is so cute. Wow, the waitress was so nice to give you the beer glasses. Very cool. Happy T Day

Kate Yetter said...

What a funny mug! I don't drink alcohol but it certainly gives a laugh.

Your broccoli, tomato and feta salad looks delicious! I am going to have to give that a try.

Happy Tea Day,
Kate

River said...

What great beer glasses! And you got two for free!
I love the cute little bear. I have stuffed toys, chimpanzees in various sizes, I wash them in my Asko washing machine maybe once every three years or so, then hang them in the sun to dry. I make a hammock between two lines with a sheer net curtain and lay them in that and turn them over a few times during drying. With our hot Aussie sun they dry properly, then I use a small comb to smooth the fur. The washing does take the shine off the bead eyes though.
