{xox}




I have met so many wonderful friends through my blog
you all mean so much to me
I wish I could meet each of you in person

What does it mean to have a friend?
Simply everything

thank you Maria for the sweet tea cozy
thank you Molly for the adorable pot holders

Always give without remembering
Always receive without forgetting.

That is a marvelous quote my sweet Koralee, and that TEA COZY IS JUST DARLING! Now I need one like that which allows the spout to stick out, because I drink LOTS OF TEA!

Koralee,

That is a beautiful quote. These gifts are lovely, but of course the loveliest, most precious gifts are the friendships. What a blessing that blogland can bring kindred spirits together!

I raise my cup of evening tea to yo this moment *^*
Weekend is around the corner again, I feel like flying above the weekdays. Cannot stop them, they just fly by. Anyways, your uplifting posts to me are little moments of calmness and reflection while sipping my cup of tea. I am so so soooo happy to have get to 'know' you.
Lots of love for a cheery rest of your Thursday Koralee xxxx

Maria said...

Hi Koralee!
Oh what you are able to do with all that creativity God poured into your heart and soul!
The photos are beautiful!

I'm so glad you are enjoying the cozy! I love mine ♥ It keeps my tea cozy, but when I look at it, somehow, I feel cozy too {smiling}
The crocheted potholders go perfectly with the cozy! Molly has her mother's eye for perfect matches!

Between school and "the kitchen," my days have been so full. I've been at the computer less than usual...It was a real JOY tonight to see such a sweet post, Koralee! I am so blessed to find such dear friendship across the miles ♥
God bless you always,
Maria

Maria said...

Virginia said...

I just popped in to say hello. Anita sent me. I think she's right, your blog is delicious! :) I'll be back often, and as I leave, you don't mind if I help myself to a few of those pink macarons on the sidebar, now do you?
Bises,

fernandflora said...

Aw. What a lovely post. So glad to have met you friend, even though I've been a terrible blogging friend lately. Life has been well, a bit crazy, so I'm sorry I haven't been saying hello as often! Hopefully, that will change soon... xo

Marilyn Miller said...

Love seeing the tea cozy and pot holders. Did Maria make the cozy for you? It looks like my sewing pattern that I sell. Now wouldn't that be funny if it was made from my pattern. Very pretty!

Nezzy (Cow Patty Surprise) said...

What a sweet warm blankie for your teapot! A most lovely post, as usual.

A friend is such a treasured blessin' a person can have.

God bless and have a terrific Thursday sweetie!!! :o)

Susan said...

So very sweet, the tea cozy and the sentiment... but I must confess I like the idea of drinking tea much more than actually drinking the tea itself. Although I enjoy an occasional "Sleepytime Tea," I LOVE coffee!...just black, no sugar, from Dunkin Donuts! But that doesn't sound nearly as romantic as drinking tea from a cozy-covered teapot now does it?!
Hope your week has been wonderful, my friend! The week-end is almost here. Off to a wedding after school tomorrow. I love weddings and all the details!
Blessings!
