Susan Branch is a treasure. I need more of her books, but I don't really need any more cookbooks, you know? Adam cooks. So I want her to write more like "A Fine Romance" or something akin to it.<br /><br />I love that little tea ball! Never seen one like that before. When I see Branch's watercoloring, I think, "I want to do something like that. Not Monet, Not fancy, but pretty and true." Happy January to you. Enjoy your tea!M.K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09205619221345704689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6918710928117815584.post-72401334738044124752015-01-03T12:15:21.087-08:002015-01-03T12:15:21.087-08:00Your tea infuser is so cute!!

Maybe you would have better luck! :) I love your bluejean couch, and it looks like you kept the grands warm. The raspberry tea is very pretty in that flowery cup and saucer. <br />Is there a particular place where I could read more about Susan Branch's home in Martha's Vineyard? That sounds very interesting!<br />Feel like knitting some gnomes?

Your New Year's day was heaven...Hi dear Karen,<br /><br />Your New Year's day was heaven on earth. Perfect. I wanted to wish you a happy 2015.<br /><br />Yes, Sue is a nurturer. She had to be with all those brothers and sisters. She has always been the first to respond when anything goes wrong in my life. When my publisher accidentally threw away 238 original illustrations, well, Sue not only called but sent me a HUGE and beautiful bouquet, but that wasn't the important thing. What was important was her faithful friendship.<br /><br />Sending love and a huge thanks for your review on Amazon. You made my month!<br /><br />Love,<br />SharonSharon Lovejoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04321160956925191137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6918710928117815584.post-55949080249324564432015-01-02T09:31:56.415-08:002015-01-02T09:31:56.415-08:00I loved this post!
