~ ♥ The Blessing Of A Friend ♥ ~

Oh Cherry Layne . . .

What a blessing you are to me!

This week I recieved the most awesome surprise!

My dear, sweet friend Cherry Layne sent me a little package of love! and . . . just when I needed it most!

I have been rushing around like a crazy person hardly taking time to breathe. Then this wonderful package came! The most beautiful magazine and some of the yummiest tea ever! (Trader Joe's Duchess Grey Tea) Did I take a break . . . YES! I brewed myself the most aromatic cup of delishes tea and sat myself down and read this magazine cover to cover. I just couldn't put it down. I felt just like I had a little mini vacation! THANK YOU soooo much sweet lady!

Now the card that came with this package had this verse in it! How amazing . . . it is my favorite verse! I have it framed next to my computer so I can look at it every day! Did Cherry Layne know this . . . no! Do I think this was coincidence . . . no! I think it was a divine treat right from the heart of God!

Let me share with you ladies . . . if you have not had the pleasure of enjoying this magazine it is definately worth the purchase. It is beautiful! Full of fun things, gorgeous pictures and recipes. It will definately bring out the "Farmgirl" in you!

The beautiful card above is straight from the heart of Cherry Layne!

I met my dear friend Cherry Layne on a site called Polyvore where we create pretty artistic things. She has been such a joy to me. Though we haven't met face to face here on earth I know if we ever do we will become fast friends. We share so much in common. I do know I would like a little cottage right next to her in Heaven so we can share some daily tea!

Tea Time & Roses

Come and share a spot of tea . . .

My home is warm, my friendship free.

I l♥ve tea! I l♥ve tea cups!

and . . . these are my favorites!

{Pic is my beautiful Mother & Father on their wedding day}

My Mom gave me these beautiful Moss Rose tea cups and lunch plates for my 40th birthday. She knew how much I loved them. They are even more special to me because they are from her!

The orchid here and in the pic above was a gift from my cousin Anna to my Father a year ago. My Father is 98 and said to me, "You better take this home, I won't be able to keep it alive!" Now I have desperately tried to grow orchids before but to no avail. I can't keep them alive either! Well, miracle here, it is alive and blooming! I can hardly believe it! I've been afraid to look at it. Apparently it loves

the lack of attention!
