Chantilly Tea

Creating a theme gift that will please another really stirs my "flossing" juices.  There is a lovely lady who just turned 90, loves Chantilly perfume and a good cup of tea.  My goal was to combine all these ingredients into a one-of-a-kind gift.   The cross stitch is a 5x7 teapot, two mugs of steaming tea, and a spray of pansies.  I love the border's checkered design.  The over sized teacup presented the opportunity for the flower arrangement [great finds at the local dollar store].   Cutting up the packaging provided the label amongst the posies.  What to do next?  Guess I will just go thru my stash and see what catches my "mind's eye."
