"T Stands For Teddy, Cocoa, and The Hound Of The Baskervilles" – Photograph

(Click on image to enlarge)

I am joining Bleubeard and Elizabeth for this week's T Stands For challenge found here.

This is my summation of the past week:

Teddy will be serving double duty as my main image plus as my "T-Day ticket" for my T-Day posts.

This past week, I finally took Teddy and his "cousin", Halloween Teddy, on the long awaited and promised outing to the Hound of the Baskerville Woods, as Teddy calls it. This time, we didn't hear the disembodied howl of the ghost hound that we had heard the first time we walked there. (We left "Minnie T" home, because Teddy said it would be too scary for him. ;-)

The Hound of the Baskervilles is one of my favorite Sherlock Holmes stories (the text can be read at Project Gutenberg here), and the book was a Christmas gift this year, as was the tin of peppermint cocoa. Teddy said another one of his cousins was the model for the bear on the tin. ;-)

Red Cardinal Pine Cone - Tin

I made a Northern Cardinal bird, pine cone, and red berry decoupage tin, using a Trader Joe's cocoa tin that I got around Christmas time.

I created this using a 3-ply paper Christmas napkin, which I separated to use only the ply with the image on it.

I used the same steps as I did for this wood box.

The tin lid was tight to begin with, but now that both have been decoupaged, the lid will have to remain off. This could be used as a pen holder. The backside ended up overlapping crooked but I didn't know it until it was too late to fix it. Note: I used one coat of antique white to paint the tin with, before decoupaging the napkin onto it.
