The light is what guides you home,
the warmth is what keeps you there.

A pleasant Spring day outdoors-
perfect for some gardening
and a cup of tea. I just discovered
straw bale gardening on Pinterest, and stepped out onto our patio to look for a good spot to place a bale.

For charm and whimsy you can't beat Royal Doulton's Brambly Hedge beakers and teacups! I sipped a bit of Assam while dead-heading Pansies and drawing up gardening plans.

I had rather be on my farm than be emperor of the world.

Home, the spot of earth supremely blessed,
A dearer, sweeter spot than all the rest.

Just looked up your mug on Ebay. It's worth $132. Can that be right? My sister has sold some of the Brambly Hedge china for lots of money. Best wishes, Linda Crafts a la mode. Anyway, featuring you this week.
